Live widgets for your Windows desktop

Make your desktop feel like yours.

Clocks, system stats, weather, music, game overlays — live on your desktop, built and edited in one studio. Describe what you want in plain language; Snowmeter writes the widget, shows you the diff, and puts it on screen. Powered by Rainmeter, the engine trusted for 20 years — no text editor required.

Snowmeter Create Studio with skin tree, editing workspace, and live canvas

One studio, the whole loop

From an installed skin to a finished idea.

Snowmeter is built around the way Rainmeter work actually happens—not a generated mockup of it.

01

View

Browse every installed skin as a real project, see what is loaded, and preview the result without digging through folders.

02

Edit

Open the source beside a live canvas, ask for a change in plain language, inspect the diff, then choose exactly which files to write.

03

Create

Start from a blank idea or a saved theme. Snowmeter builds the Rainmeter project, checks it, and loads it on your desktop.

Snowmeter Theme Studio editing a reusable theme.md design recipe

Snowtheme engine

Your first skin can teach the next one how to look.

Theme Studio reads color roles, typography, spacing, borders, and effects from real skins and saves the result as a portable theme.md recipe.

  1. CaptureChoose a few skins whose look you trust.
  2. TuneAdjust the palette against a live desktop preview and check contrast.
  3. BuildCreate a new skin from the theme or apply it across a pack after reviewing the diff.

New — GameSkin

Your move list, on screen, while you play.

GameSkin is one universal Rainmeter overlay that reads portable game cards — the same idea as Snowtheme, pointed at games. Load the Madden card and your ball-carrier moves sit beside the game; load a Soulcalibur card and it becomes a move list for your character. Cards are plain.game.md files: share one and everyone gets the same overlay.

  1. Pick a card63 cards ship today - Madden, MK9, Tekken 6, SSX 3, Mario Kart Wii, and the rest of a real emulator library.
  2. Load itSnowmeter writes the overlay into your Rainmeter skins and refreshes — no editing .ini by hand.
  3. PlayThe overlay stays on your desktop or second monitor. Theme it like any other Snowmeter skin.

One brain, one private config

The assistant is part of the workshop, not the branding.

Bring a cloud model or run one locally. Snowmeter supplies the Rainmeter context, validates the result, and keeps every proposed file under your control. The desktop suite uses the same local brain.

Where Snowmeter sits

The engine, the suite, and the studio.

Honest answer, because you will search it anyway: Rainmeter and JaxCore are both excellent. They just answer different questions.

Rainmeter

The engine

Free, battle-tested, and behind two decades of community skins. It renders everything — including everything Snowmeter makes. You build by hand-editing .ini files in a text editor and reloading to see what changed.

JaxCore

A finished suite

A beautiful, polished set of widgets with its own settings hub. You get Jax's modules and Jax's look — configuration, not creation. When you want a widget that doesn't exist in the set, you're back to the text editor.

Snowmeter

The studio

Works on anyskin — the ones you installed, the ones JaxCore-era suites shipped, the ones that don't exist yet. Describe a change in plain language, review the exact file diff, and load it live. Capture any look as a portable theme.md that checks its own readability and derives its own dark, light, and AMOLED versions.

Snowmeter drives Rainmeter — it doesn't replace it. Keep every skin you already love.
