I even went so far as to approach the programmers of Conky. Make no mistake folks We have spent the better part of 9 years asking, promoting, and approaching programmers to tackle this project. A complete rewrite is more or less required.Ĥ.) No one, and I mean NO ONE, from either the Linux or Mac communities, or any other programmer, has come forward with any interest to build Rainmeter for Linux, Mac or as a cross-platform software! Remember Rainmeter is community driven by volunteers only!ģ.) There is no easy way to "port" Rainmeter to other operating systems. Many attempts to utilize programs like WINE have failed to produce Rainmeter in a desirable presentation.ġ.) Rainmeter, in its current form, is directly tied into Windows, utilizing Windows libraries and other software as a backbone.Ģ.) We rely on the skills of those that volunteer their time to develop Rainmeter.
Over the years this has been deeply discussed and looked into, and it is not a new request. This is an Official Call for Coders! Based on (mentioned in Special Thanks) it was suggested that I place a "Call For Coders" here at the Rainmeter Group in hopes that maybe, just maybe, someone with interest or influence will be able to develop Rainmeter in either a cross-platform or platform dependent version for Linux and/or Mac OS X.
