Description

Realtime music visualizer!     See demo videos on YouTube


1. Get Rainmeter for free from rainmeter.net

2. Download the skin from the right side of this page. If nothing downloads, right-click > "Open link in new tab"

3. Open the file with the green raindrop icon and click "Install" in the pop-up window

4. Right-click Rainmeter tray icon > Rainy Days > SettingsWindow, to customize settings.


v2.2 (24 Apr 2016) Full changelog - Cross-referenced changes from Fountain of Colors. Performance tweaks.


To increase precision and performance, decrease your audio device's sampling rate. Right-click volume tray icon > "Playback devices" > Follow this image


If you're updating from an older version and feel that the audio output is mistimed or unimproved, you might need to go to the settings window to apply "reset audio settings..." and tweak it from there.


If it doesn't show on the desktop, try the following:

•  Open Volume Mixer and check if Rainmeter's volume is unmuted

•  In the skin's installer window, check the box "Load included skins"

•  In the skin's settings window, set the skin to use a different audio device

•  Disable external software with sound processing and effects such as MSI Nahimic

Moving the "rain meter" positions in realtime causes a lot of overhead, so I couldn't figure out an alternative besides lowering the settings a bit. Let me know if this is satisfactory

It's using 30% Cpu and 15 mb ram, may be lower.

Yes, that's exactly the numbers on my old Vista machine. I'm not sure how to make it any faster...

It's great but using a lot of CPU, please fix it if you can.

How do you change it to fit the screen?

alatsombath In reply to HopeLikeNoOther [2015-03-27 01:24:22 +0000 UTC]

I'm not entirely sure if you can scale it to be larger than your screen...


(The default settings are based on playing around with the "TransformationMatrix" option in the skin file)
