Making Custom Wallpaper

[jedjames]

So i have always wanted a desktop wallpaper that could show me things like the weather, who uploaded a new video, my unread emails and other things like that. I don't want it to be a webpage, i just want it to show up on one of my monitors as soon as i turn on my PC. So does anybody know of a way to do this or a program that can do that. Thanks!

I'm interested in this, but how much CPU/Memory usage does this application have in task manager? It is something running in the background afterall...

on my i3 sandybridge

and 6GM of ram

 

<1% ram

and 10-13MB of ram

 

 

I assume it would be less if one didn't have that eq doing all those calculations too. 

honestly it is very lightweight program

Though I ditched Rainmeter and made my own program to replace it 

Still would recommend it.
