Installation

Download Rainmeter

If you do not have Rainmeter, you will need to download and install it first before installing the skin package.

Download Rainmeter (Version 4.3 or newer required)

After downloading and installing Rainmeter, a few introduction skins that come with it will be loaded. If you would like to close any of these skins, simply right click any of them and click “Unload skin”.

Download Skin Package

Now that you have Rainmeter installed, you are ready to download and install the .rmskin package. After downloading and installing the skin, the skin will load and you will see a “Link Twitch Account” message over the skin. Clicking this will open the setup tool and you can simply follow the instructions to link your Twitch account with the skin. You can also see a step by step Skin Setup Walkthrough below.

NOTE: For those upgrading from 0.94, you will be asked to link your Twitch account again as a new OAuth Token is needed for the latest Twitch API.
Portable Rainmeter Installations: If you have installed Rainmeter in portable mode, the .rmskin extension will not be registered with Windows. You need to run the SkinInstaller.exe manually from the location where you installed Rainmeter.

(Optional) – Streamlink Integration

This skin supports Streamlink (Version 1.1.0 or newer), which allows you to watch streams in an external player such as VLC Player. The skin will automatically detect if you already have it installed. If you don’t, you can download and install it at a later point if you want it integrated. NOTE: You will have to restart Rainmeter after installing Streamlink in order for it to detect it.
