A Widget

timlab55 · Jan 6, 2023

I'm always googling to find out what the temp is between my computer (inside in C) to the outside temp of the surrounding air around the PC in F. I"m old and my brain doesn't want to do the math anymore. Is there a widget or something that I can put on my desktop and have it convert the two on the fly?
Thanks

Yes, there are quite a few actually.
I have used Rainmeter for many years.
Then go get the look you want here, it's all free.
Depending on what you like, you can have a multitude of locations, in F or C
independently of your actual location.

I'm a big fan of Rainmeter as well and have a few skins I couple with HWINFO.

This is great! I found one called Thermometer Rainmeter Skin. I downloaded it and can't open it. It's talking about I need something to open a rmskin file. Where does one get this to use Thermometer?

Did you install the rainmeter program file from Rainmeter, desktop customization tool? Once installed you can double click the rmskin files to install them. You can open and mange the skins from the rainmeter app. You can edit the skin files also for your weather locations, fonts, colors etc.
