Software update: Rainmeter 2.2 r1071 beta

Spread the love

The development of version 2.2 of Rainmeter is in full swing and release 1071 has now been released. Rainmeter is a program that allows you to customize the desktop of a Windows PC. For example, it is possible to display all kinds of information as a kind of overlay, such as free space on the hard disk, network activity and whether there is new e-mail. Functional applets can also be used to, for example, make notes or send tweets. New in version 2.2 is, among other things, that the application can be used in different languages. What exactly has changed from version 2.2 r1050 can be found below.

Changes in Rainmeter 2.2 r1071 beta

  • Fixed degraded icon quality with high DPI caused in earlier beta.
  • Fixed a handle leak when Rainmeter fails to properly retrieve the size of an image.
  • Merged Rainstaller and RainBackup into SkinInstaller. Addons\Rainstaller\Rainstaller.exe removed.
    The new SkinInstaller application will now be used when you double click on a .rmskin to install a skin, and is the application used to install .rmskin files when you are running Rainmeter in “portable” mode.
    RainBackup is now built into the “Manager” panel in Rainmeter, under the “Themes” tab.
  • Added /LOADTHEME switch to SkinInstaller.exe. Usage: “SkinInstaller.exe” /LOADTHEME themeName.
    This will allow you to load themes from the command line. Rainmeter does not have to be running for this to work.
