Installation

For the Rainmeter Grayhound Skin to work you need to two products for the installation.

HWiINFO

HWiINFO is a popular, free and amazingly detailed hardware information tool for Windows. It digs deep into the guts of your system and extracts all the details it can find. A natural choice and source for Rainmeter skins. I wish the Rainmeter team would support and document it better. Thanks to other Rainmeter skin developers it has been proven as a suitable Rainmeter metering source.

Once you have installed HWiINFO it needs to be started and configured to work with Rainmeter. My documentation below is based on what I found in the Gadgets skin by SilverAzide.

HWiNFO setup for Rainmeter

Rainmeter

Download and install Rainmeter. Select to have it start with Windows.

Start Rainmeter manually or restart Windows.

Grayhound Skin Pack

Download the Grayhound Skin from GitHub. Open the rmskin folder there and download the latest .rmskin file (see link below). Double-click it. Rainmeter will open the file and install it for you.
