- Customizable with whatever currencies you'd like to track (see Managing Cryptocurrencies below)
- Updates data every 15 minutes
- Click the symbol to view graphs, charts and more
- Working with CoinmarketCap with API KEY
- Rainmeter 4.3+
- Win10Widgets - inherits styling from this theme
- Install Rainmeter 4.3+ and Win10Widgets if you haven't already
- Go to
C:\Users\[MY_USER]\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Win10 Widgets
and create a directory calledCryptometer
- Download the zip from https://github.com/petitsurfeur/Cryptometer and put the contents into the
Cryptometer
directory you just created - Open the file and modify the API_KEY (line 15) with the your own CoinmarketCap key (see https://pro.coinmarketcap.com/ to create a free one)
- Either open Rainmeter or click "Refresh All" in the bottom left corner of the Rainmeter Manager
Each section of the configuration begins with the currency's name and symbol along with a separator, such as:
# Bitcoin (BTC)__________________________________________________________________
- Find the section for the currency you'd like to delete
- Delete it
- Adjust the currencies below it so they move "up a row" visually. This is done by decrementing the row number after
*
in theY
configuration value (e.g. - the number4
inY=(#TopPadding#+(#RowHeight#*4))
)
- Duplicate an existing currency section
- Update the currency name, symbol and necessary URLs (necessary info about currencies can be found in the CoinMarketCap.com API
- Adjust the row numbers, positioning the currency on the list where you'd like to see it. This is done by incrementing or decrementing the row number after
*
in theY
configuration value (e.g. - the number4
inY=(#TopPadding#+(#RowHeight#*4))
). If any numbers have the same rows, they will visually end up in the same space.
If you have more than 10 currencies, you'll need to adjust
BackgroundHeight=300
in the[Variables]
section of the file to make sure the widget is tall enough.
