Requirements

Installation

  1. Install Rainmeter 4.3+ and Win10Widgets if you haven't already
  2. Go to C:\Users\[MY_USER]\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Win10 Widgets and create a directory called Cryptometer
  3. Download the zip from https://github.com/petitsurfeur/Cryptometer and put the contents into the Cryptometer directory you just created
  4. 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)
  5. Either open Rainmeter or click "Refresh All" in the bottom left corner of the Rainmeter Manager

Managing Cryptocurrencies

Each section of the configuration begins with the currency's name and symbol along with a separator, such as:

# Bitcoin (BTC)__________________________________________________________________

Removing Cryptocurrencies

  1. Find the section for the currency you'd like to delete
  2. Delete it
  3. Adjust the currencies below it so they move "up a row" visually. This is done by decrementing the row number after * in the Y configuration value (e.g. - the number 4 in Y=(#TopPadding#+(#RowHeight#*4)))

Adding Cryptocurrencies

  1. Duplicate an existing currency section
  2. Update the currency name, symbol and necessary URLs (necessary info about currencies can be found in the CoinMarketCap.com API
  3. 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 the Y configuration value (e.g. - the number 4 in Y=(#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.
