HOW TO: Create multiple HWiNFO Meters

You can easily configure your Gadgets to show multiple HWiNFO Meters simultaneously. To do this you simply make copies of the HWiNFO Meter folder with different names, as follows:

  1. Navigate to your Gadgets installation folder, typically C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Gadgets.
  2. Create additional HWiNFO Meter folders under the Gadgets folder; for example, "HWiNFO Meter (Fans)", "HWiNFO Meter (Drive Temps)".
  3. Copy all the files and subfolders from the main HWiNFO Meter folder into the new folders.
  4. Right-click the Rainmeter icon in the system tray and select the Refresh all option to refresh Rainmeter.
  5. Select the new HWiNFO Meter gadgets and configure each one as needed. Please note that while each gadget is independent, they do share a few common settings like backgrounds and colors.
