Just installed rainmeter and got a cool hexagon theme:

Im just wondering if anyone knows if this is going to pull resources to my computer, I looked at task manager and it was using low percentages but I don't really know if that is a clear indication. I thought this program was really cool and I think ill end up using it more.

There's not much there that would use up resources, which are plentiful on modern computers, anyway. One thing you may want to keep in mind is the update interval on the various components (though the defaults should be fine).

Here's mine:

Made it look like some sort of space ship cockpit thing.

Site you uploaded on is blocked by my schools wifi :( but what do you mean the update interval? Like how quickly it will update like battery life?

And yes. In the configs, you see things like:
[CODE][Rainmeter]
Update=1000[/CODE]
This sets the base update interval for various counters like battery life, disk space, etc at 1 sec. If you have a ton of stuff and it's set incorrectly, it could use up more resources than necessary, but even then your computer should be able to handle it.
