Welcome to the ModernGadgets Wiki! This wiki will guide you through the features of ModernGadgets and thr steps involved in setting up the suite properly.
As you know, ModernGadgets is a set of sleep, minimalist, information-dense gadgets that are designed to fit right into your modern desktop. They are at once compact, beautiful, and functional. Each gadget also includes a slew of options that you can customize to your liking.
TODO: Chronometer Pic
This gadget displays the current date and time, as well as information about your system uptime. Also included is a Stopwatch with lap support. Date and time formats can be customized.
TODO: CPU Meter Pic
This gadget displays information about your CPU and system as a whole. It supports up to 64 CPU threads (32 physical cores), displaying thread utilization, core temperature, and core voltage for each thread. It also displays RAM and page file information, along with CPU fan speed, CPU clock speed, and the top process by CPU usage. It can also detect when your CPU thermal throttles, and sounds an alarm when that happens.
Customization includes toggling of specific elements (page file info, top process, etc.), HWiNFO and SpeedFan configuration, and color customization.
TODO: Disks Meter Pic
Disks Meter displays information about the hard drives and other disks connected to your PC. It supports all disk slots (A-Z) and dynamically adjusts when disks are connected or disconnected. For each disk, it displays the disk letter, label name, read/write time usage, current read/write speeds, and storage information. Additionally, the gadget will display disk temperatures for fixed disks, and provides eject buttons for ejecting removable disks. The line graph shows read/write speeds for each disk, and the histograms show read/write time usage for each disk.
Customization includes toggling specific displays (temperatures, eject buttons, read/write speeds, etc.), manipulation of which disks will be shown, and color customization.
TODO: GPU Meter Pic
This gadget shows detailed information about your GPU. It displays the GPU name, core clock speed, temperature, core usage, memory clock speed, memory usage statistics, fan speed and usage, memory controller usage, video clock speed, and core voltage. The line graph displays core usage, memory usage, memory controller usage, fan speed, and GPU temperature.
Customization includes toggling specific displays (GPU name, memory controller, etc.), max VRAM override (for AMD cards and other cards that lack this sensor), and color customization.
Additionally, there are three extra GPU meters that can be enabled for monitoring multi-GPU setups. Each GPU meter is completely separate with its own options and information.
TODO: Network Meter Pic
This gadget shows network information, including external and internal IPs, network ping, current upload/download speeds in both bit/s and bytes/s, peak network session traffic, and both a 'session' total as well as a 'total' total. The line graph shows upload and download rates over time.
Customization includes toggling specific displays (external IP, network ping, upload/download totals, etc.), and color customization.
Additionally, there is an alternate 'Pro' version of the gadget that uses the NetMonitor Service, rather than Rainmeter's net measures. This has the advantage of being both more accurate and more robust than what Rainmeter offers.
TODO: Process Meter Pic
This gadget displays information about process usage. It can show up to 10 processes by CPU or GPU usage. For each process, it shows the CPU/GPU usage, and RAM/VRAM usage, respectively.
Customization includes toggling specific elements (average usage in gadget header, process usage bars, etc.), number of processes to display, toggling between CPU and GPU mode, and editing the process blacklist, as well as color customization.
