This works with the latest HWiNFO version and Rainmeter.

A set of 4 totally Customizable and Resizable Gauges with 4 different designs to monitor PC sensors using HWiNFO64 software, every gauge has a list that displays 6 additional sensors. With the option to have as many gauges as you need using the included Gauge Creator skin. Each Gauge is totally independent, which means you can move them to wherever you need on your desktop or additional screens and change the designs and colors to fit on your desktop.

Requirements
Latest HWiNFO version

Installation Process
After installing the skin in rainmeter, a welcome tutorial will load, follow the steps and you will be ready in a couple minutes. If you already have the HWiNFO index values set up, then it will be even faster. You don't need to look at the code at all.

[ UPDATE 4.0 ] Light Mode and Restructure Update

While I personally don't like light themes, I understand that some people actually like white stuff and happy lighted colors. After spending a lot of time hand picking colors in an intent of creating a light theme that didn't look bad compared to the dark mode, I ended up creating and implementing raincolors.lua, a color manipulation lua library to easily generate colors, which allowed me to improve the existing dark mode and create a light counterpart. Obviously I had to create a set of white gauges as well. Black gauges were also redesigned and while changes are subtle, they're noticeable. HSLiders now uses raincolors.lua instead of measures as well.

The file restructure is now complete. Future updates won't delete user created gauges anymore. Now all Gauges, HSLiders and Settings skins share the same files, this way I can update those files without affecting user created gauges and their variable files, it also helped reducing the package size to 2MB.

Thanks to balazslaci, Eclectic-Tech and Yincognyto, this wouldn't exist without their help.

first off A+ on this love it and I’m going to use it to make my sensor panel. One thing I’m having an issue with is when I power down my pc and start back up I have to right click and hit refresh all to get the data to show. How do I make it auto read on startup?
