Rainmeter runs on modern Windows versions. Check the system requirements on the download page to confirm compatibility with your build.

How much CPU and memory does it use?

Usage varies by theme and widgets. Lightweight themes can use under 90 MB of RAM and keep CPU impact low by reducing refresh rates.

Plugins run in an isolated environment and are reviewed by the community. We publish guidance so you can verify a plugin before installing it.

How do I restore my desktop if a theme causes issues?

You can revert to default settings from the app or remove a skin folder. Our support guides walk you through safe recovery steps.

Can I share themes with friends?
