Zondag zijn er twee nieuwe versies uit de 3.0-ontwikkeltak van Rainmeter verschenen. Met dit programma kan in realtime allerlei informatie op de desktop worden weergegeven, zoals vrije ruimte op de harde schijf, netwerkactiviteit en of er nieuwe e-mail is. Ook kunnen functionele applets worden gebruikt om bijvoorbeeld notities te maken of om tweets mee te versturen. Versie 3.0 kan gewoon overweg met oudere thema's en skins, dus de nieuwe versie kan zonder zorgen worden geïnstalleerd. Sinds release 2022 van de 3.0-versie zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen doorgevoerd:
August 4, 2013 - Revision 2050
Special bug fix release
- [Fixed] Rainmeter: Fixed an issue with Direct2D where a string meter with an empty string would still have a width and height.
- [Fixed] About: Fixed a bug in the Log panel that could cause problems with the "Source" column.
August 4, 2013 - Revision 2047
- [Changed] WebParser: WebParser now supports Dynamic Variables. See Change Announcements for important details.
- [Changed] Rainmeter: Important improvements made to the D2D (Direct2D) rendering option for Rainmeter. See Change Announcements for important details.
- [Added] Manage Dialog: Added "UseD2D" option in the Manage / Settings Tab. If checked, all skins are refreshed using D2D (Direct2D) rendering. The option is disabled on systems that do not support D2D. Windows 7 with the latest Platform Update or Windows 8 is required.
- [Added] Rainmeter: Added AccurateText option in the [Rainmeter] section of skins. When AccurateText=0 (default) and UseD2D=0, inaccurate GDI+ measuring of text is used. When AccurateText=1 and UseD2D=0, Accurate measuring occurs similar to D2D. When AccurateText=0 and UseD2D=1, D2D adds padding to the text similar to GDI+. When AccurateText=1 and UseD2D=1, Accurate measuring occurs using D2D.
