Comments about Rainmeter as an Alternative to Conky
rain meter is more usable than conky
Conky Is not a Desktop customisation platform, it is a system monitor.
Rainmeter is not a sysmonitor, its a theme/desktop platform with a hint to the system info.
I thinks it is more like a desktop customize software that include some system monitor function, not mainly design as a system monitor, and it is definitely not a conky clone or any alternative.
This isn't a desktop monitoring tool
