Versie 3.2 van Rainmeter is uitgekomen. Met dit programma kan in realtime allerlei zinvolle, maar ook minder zinnige 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. De belangrijkste veranderingen die in versie 3.2 zijn doorgevoerd, zijn hieronder op een rijtje gezet.
AudioLevel plugin
Added a new AudioLevel plugin. This will allow for real-time VU-Meter and Spectrum Analyzer visualizations of sound output.
See AudioLevel plugin for full documentation and example skins.
Mask Image functionality
Added the ability to mask an image inside the shape and size of another.
See Image - Mask Image for documentation, and Change Announcements for a full description and examples.
