Rainmeter-Style Desktop Widget That Graphs Your CPU's Cores

Requirements

To use the GUI you'll need to install PySimpleGUI (http://www.PySimpleGUI.org for instructions)

One of these will install it for you.

pip install PySimpleGUI
pip3 install PySimpleGUI

You will also need to install the psutil package.

Running

Once the pacakges are installed, you only need to run the single Python file found in this repository - PySimpleGUI_Rainmeter_CPU_Cores.py

When running on Windows, launching with pythonw instead of plain python will start the program without showing a console window.

"Rainmeter" Styling

Achieving a "rainmeter" styling to your PySimpleGUI windows is not difficult. It only requires setting a few parameters in the call to create the window. Those 3 parameters are:

1. No titlebar
2. Grab anywhere
3. Alpha Channel of 0.8

The result is a bornerless window that's transparent and can be moved by grabbing the window by clicking anywhere in the window using your mouse and dragging.
