Just recently got Rainmeter but the CPU Meters and stuff move really choppily. Is there any way to make it smoother and refresh faster?



I've tried changing stuff that looked relevant in the .ini files but nothing seems to change.

hi mate try looking at the code inside that gadget if it uses javascript to refresh or code also check the .dll it uses to detect and get the info from there might be a better opensource Version of CPUSniffer.dll

or you could try contacting the persons how built it as they might have an updated version.

deviantdon gave my the link to it. Maybe I should ask him.
It is a Rainmeter version of a Win7 Gadget.

Near the top of most .ini files you should see
Update=
that is the fresh rate so try playing with that number.
Just remember after you save the change you have to refresh the skin before the
changes take effect

I moved the Update option up so that it was right below [Rainmeter] at the top. That seemed to work to increase the speed at least but it still isn't smooth as it jumps around a lot.

Try changing the number from 1000000 to 500
That seems to help but I will look at it more
