Rainmeter - Beautify your desktop

Rainmeter - Beautify your desktop

With the help of this program, you can place on your desktop various accessories such as a clock, calendar, weather forecast, various tools for monitoring computer resources, and much more.

The program itself weighs only a few megabytes, but the add-ons you want to place on the desktop can take up from a few kilobytes to over 10 MB.

The installation of the program itself is simple and common, as is the installation of add-ons. Except for some that come in folders so you have to put the whole folder in the "Masks" folder.

There are a lot of plugins, you can find them on sites like customize.org or deviantart.com, but also on google on various sites and forums. The best thing about Rainmeter is that all these plugins are created by the users themselves (which they upload to the internet for free) and you can edit them in a simple .txt file. Later, when you get a little practice, you can make your own plugins.

The latest stable version brings the label Rainmeter v2.2, where the Serbian language has also been added. You can download the program from THIS link, and skins and plugins from Google.

The program does not consume too much RAM memory, so 1GB will be quite enough.

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

Many users still complain about the size of SIM (subscriber identification module) cards. Which one goes on the phone? Can it be shortened? Can a smaller one into a larger slot? Although we are slowly switching to eSIM (more on this in this article ), we still use classic SIM cards. Newer phones usually require a Nano sizes, but operators issue SIM cards in all sizes. More precisely, now SIM cards are made so that the user can choose the size immediately, and later change it if necessary. More on that at the end of the article.

What should you check before buying a used phone?
