Alien is a Rainmeter system monitor inspired by the interface of the AmpliFi Alien WiFi 6 router. Its main display combines time, network activity, CPU information, memory usage, and drive activity. Clickable areas open dedicated weather, speed-test, network, processor, and drive pages within the same skin.

## What this skin includes

- CPU utilization graphs support up to 64 logical cores.
- Displays information for up to three logical drives, including network shares.
- Weather data comes from The Weather Channel.
- Speed tests use speedtest.net and include ping statistics.
- The processor page lists the five highest CPU-time processes.
- The display can be scaled to a chosen size.

## Setup and limits

Tap the relevant main-display areas to open the weather, speed-test, network, processor, or drive page. Use the settings icon to open settings, or right-click and select Alien settings for manual editing. Optional CPU temperature and fan-speed reporting uses HWiNFO; the source links separate configuration instructions for that integration and speed tests.

Requires Windows 8.0 or later and Rainmeter 4.5.16 or later. Optional temperature and fan-speed reporting requires HWiNFO 7.02 or later. NUMA/SMP architectures are not supported. Weather and speed tests rely on The Weather Channel and speedtest.net respectively. Current Windows-build compatibility has not been independently verified; this research did not install or execute the skin.
