PowerShell Rainmeter combines a desktop console skin with a companion plugin to present PowerShell input and output through Rainmeter. Its panel, prompt and text styling are controlled by variables, including separate input-background and prompt-font settings. The supplied implementation also uses an AutoHotKey script adjusted to the input box's position.

What this skin includes

  • Pairs main.ini with a Powershell.dll plugin.
  • Uses reclick.ahk for input-box clicking.
  • Exposes color, font, width and height variables.
  • Separates console output, prompt and input sections.

Setup and limits

Install Rainmeter, Ubuntu Mono, Monoid and AutoHotKey. Copy Powershell.dll into Rainmeter's plugin directory, then place main.ini and reclick.ahk in a new skin folder. Restart Rainmeter. Edit reclick.ahk so its click coordinates match the input box's position, size and display resolution.

This is a skin-and-plugin pair, so the console depends on more than the INI file alone. The source lists AutoHotKey and two fonts as dependencies. The click script requires manual coordinate adjustment for the chosen placement and resolution. Current Windows-build compatibility has not been independently verified; this research did not install or execute the skin.
