This is a simple and minimalistic Rainmeter skin with Reddit RSS feed, Karma meter, Twitch live and some add-ons

Features

  • Clean-looking Karma meter
  • RSS feed with easy navigation to posts and subs
  • Twitch Live panel that shows top 4 active streamers from your follow list
  • Dark and light mode support through user actions in Rainmeter
  • All settings can be tweaked via one user-friendly settings skin by right-clicking on any skin and choosing Settings
  • Even more on the way!

Installation

  • Download latest version
  • Install the downloaded .rmskin file
  • By default, setting will open. Change all neccesary parameters to your liking there. More about each setting you can find here
  • You're all set!

Authorizing in Twitch Live panel

  • If you haven't entered the OAuth token, or it has expired, Live panel will ask you to generate a new one
  • In the opened skin, click Get token button
  • Authorize on the Twitch website
  • After authorization, you will be redirected to unresponding localhost. This is completely normal. Copy your newly generated token after &access_token= from the URL field of your browser, it should look like this:
localost:3000/&access_token=COPYME&scope=user...
  • Paste the token (COPYME in the example above) into corresponding field in the skin and press enter
  • Click Log in
  • If you've done everything correctly, Twitch Live panel will now show active streamers

Reddit RSS tips and tricks

Written by @hiimkir

  • 'www.' in URL is optional
  • Add 'old.' to your to RSS URL for your links to lead to classsic reddit (works vice versa too)
  • 'https://' is requred for rss to work

Non-private feeds

  • Just add .rss to almost any reddit page url
  • Doesn't matter if it's '.rss' or '/.rss' unless it's reddit.com
  • Search results don't work for some reason (#23)
  • Only posts will be displayed in widget, so no point in trying to use comment-only feeds (may be fixed)
  • Every reddit page under this criteria should work, if it doesn't then consider creating an issue
  • r/pan, settings and wikis obviously don't work

Private feeds
