Material Design Hardware Monitor adapts ThatManOnTheMoon's AIDA64 template design to Rainmeter, using HWiNFO as its hardware-data source. Intended for a desktop or case-mounted secondary display, it combines temperatures, utilization, power and fan readings. The port supplies one color scheme and configurable sensor mappings rather than automatically populated hardware values.

## What this skin includes

- Uses HWiNFO gadget-reporting sensor values.
- Provides 16 configurable sensor-ID variables.
- Includes CPU and GPU power and fan readings.
- Can combine space totals across multiple drive letters.
- Uses vector elements with a ScaleFactor setting.

## Setup and limits

Install Rainmeter and the .rmskin contained in the download, then install HWiNFO and open its sensors-only view. Enable reporting to gadgets and select the required sensor values. Copy their index IDs into the skin's corresponding \[Variables\] entries, then refresh or reload the skin.

The source specifies Windows 10 or later, a desktop PC and a discrete GPU. HWiNFO reporting must be configured; sensor IDs default to -1 and show no data. Laptop, integrated-GPU and older motherboard sensor coverage is explicitly limited. Current Windows-build compatibility has not been independently verified; this research did not install or execute the skin.
