Barcode_TIME

The desktop space isn’t just for shortcuts, or a pretty background picture. Given the right set of tools, a desktop can be completely transformed, or at least enhanced with various Windows built-in, or third-party tools like Rainmeter. Dedicated to this customization app, Barcode_TIME shows up on the desktop to display time, date, and temperature.
Since it’s dedicated to Rainmeter, this needs to be installed on the target computer. Integrations is easily done as a Skin, with a few elements up for display. Not all of them need to be brought up, but different variations make it possible to pick from a black, or white skin, as well as Celsius, or Fahrenheit as a display unit.
In order for the temperature to be displayed, manual configuration needs to be done inside the corresponding INI file to add a custom area code. These codes can be easily grabbed online, depending on region. Advanced tweaks are also possible, with a refresh required for changes to take effect.
Just like any Rainmeter element, it benefits from the default set of options. This includes the possibility to drag it around the desktop, ignore mouse interaction, save position for opening it in the same spot later on, snap to edges of the screen, have transparency configured, show up on a different monitor, and several more.System requirementsRainmeter
