UPDATE: 01-11-2024 v1.7

New Video Release - See It In Action - Star Trek Legacy Facebook Group

Expanded Weather Alerts, now color coded (Fixed).
Added analog clock to day to day Countdown.
Changed how to exit the shields (RGB Flashing Rectangle Marked "Shield").

You'll need the ConfigActive plug-in for this to work. I provided the plug-in in the Package installer.
(If you exit Rainmeter and restart Rainmeter or use "Refresh All" the Windows Taskbar will disappear, just click on "Taskbar" near the power buttons to bring it back up. I should have a fix for that soon.)

(Grab HWInfo Setup from here - www.hwinfo.com/download/) -

How to setup HWInfo - docs.rainmeter.net/tips/hwinfo…

Personally, I don't care for HWInfo, so I added Extended GPU Data (MSI) MSI Afterburner for a better detail of the GPU stats.

You'll need MSI Afterburner Plug-in for the Extended GPU Data (MSI) to work forums.guru3d.com/threads/rain…

And, MSIAfterburner.exe - www.msi.com/Landing/afterburne…

(Extended 8, and 12 Core Data isn't configured yet, you can configure them yourself or wait for the next update)

Overall this update has improved this suite/skin by 40% bringing the total to an outstanding 99%. And I was able to reduce the resource usage in this version.

NOTE: "Changing the font and font size will result in overlapping, that's because this suite isn't built with the transformation matrix code. I haven't been able to wrap my head around the code yet. So sorry. You could experiment with it but it's best to leave the font and font size as it is. Also, changing the font colors, font, and font size may result in Rainmeter crashing, (but not always), -I think I fix it- just restart Rainmeter. At the time of my last testing sessions I didn't experience any Rainmeter crash's, thus this release." If you would like to code this suite/skin with the transformation matrix PLEASE help yourself -BUT- PLEASE let me know if you have so I can share the update with everyone, thank you.

Please, if you find any issues, please let me know, it's important to me that I fix them, thank you.

UPDATE 04-30-2023: I've discovered some missing features and will be updating this in the coming week. And thank you for the Favs.

If you're like me and have seen all 10 episodes of Star Trek: Picard Season 3 you didn't want it to end.
It had to end, but that doesn't mean you can't have the newly recommissioned Starship on your computer desktop.

So I present to you the USS ENTERPRISE NCC-1701-G Rainmeter Concept Skin. If the fans have their way, then in the near future we will have Star Trek: Legacy the TV series, hopefully it'll be a long running primetime TV show. I know for me, that's the way I'd like it to air. In the show we will have a new enterprise starship and it will be the USS ENTERPRISE NCC-1701-G captained by none other than Captain Seven of Nine (@JeriLRyan). #makeitso

So in advance of #startreklegacy you can have the USS ENTERPRISE NCC-1701-G Rainmeter Concept Skin.
I hope you like it as much as do.

Please keep in mind this skin/suite may not be the final version. If you want to (provided you have the knowledge) modify the code in this skin, you can. I only ask you let me know and share it with me, thank you. Live Long and Prosper.

By the way this skin/suite isn't supposed to follow the LCARS standard because it's a concept (Fan-Made).
And if you think its too crowded each meters can be toggled on or off, with some minor exceptions.

I did incorporate the Captains Log skin I made awhile back and have already released here on my DeviantArt account.

(I usually point all the .ini files to .inc files. Most of the time the .inc files are located in a folder name: "Ink." So if you're looking for the .inc's -in this case- go to, !Rainmeter\Skins\USS ENTERPRISE NCC-1701-G\resources\Ink. There you will find them.)

At the time I recorded the video (see it in action/today 04-30-2023 at 9am) changing the theme with the Captains Log wasn't working. I fixed it before I released this skin/suite.

At this time the Captains Log as separate settings from main skin/suite (USS ENTERPRISE NCC-1701-G), I might fix that in version two.
