# NWModern and NetWorks Process Monitors for Rainmeter

- Description: Four independent process rankings in dark-glass or monospaced board styles; includes a script-driven data collector.
- Author: DeskSpruce
- Tags: System monitors, #resource

NWModern and NetWorks put four resource rankings next to one another on the desktop. Instead of sorting a single process table by one metric, their boards show separate top-20 lists for CPU, memory, GPU and GPU memory. These related implementations are grouped here as one monitoring family rather than split into colour or style pages.

## What this skin includes

- Processes are grouped by name; each resource column ranks its own top 20.
- NWModern uses dark panels, per-resource accents and load-tinted CPU/GPU values.
- NetWorks uses a black-and-white monospaced presentation with configurable white/yellow/red thresholds and a dark/light toggle.
- The creator defines CPU as time across logical cores, memory as private working set, GPU as busiest engine, and process GPU memory as dedicated plus shared.

## Setup and limits

Open the creator repository and review its installation instructions. This CTA is not a direct RMSKIN package. These process boards use source folders and a PowerShell/WMI collector; review the scripts before loading them.

The README says a per-folder mutex prevents duplicate collectors and that a collector exits about 20 seconds after the last board closes; those are author claims, not independently tested outcomes. The preview’s readings belong to the creator’s machine and are not performance benchmarks. Dedicated VRAM in the summary is not the same measure as dedicated-plus-shared memory in the process table. Do not confuse these four-column boards with the repository’s separate six-column Top 20 skin. Other NetWorks network/lab cards may have additional setup needs and are not validated here. Current Windows-build compatibility has not been independently verified; this research did not install or execute the skin.
