Thank you for downloading "PORTA METAL", which is a "skin" for
"SysMetrix". It was actually made under Sysmetrix v1 but might
be usable on v2 too. |

Manual Install |
"SysMetrix" is a system metering program designed to monitor
and display certain aspects of your PC, such as the time (digital and/or analog), the amount of
hard disk space left on each of your hard drives, memory used, CPU usage in "graph" form,
etc..., as well as to monitor the recycle bin (even delete files on double click) and also, displays how many new E-Mail
you've received.
If you do not have SysMetrix v1, then this skin is useless. Go to:
http://www.xymantix.com
to download SysMetrix.
You also will need a un-zip program that is either provided by
operating systems such as Windows 98 and up, or use a third-
party folder un-zip program such as Winzip:

Installation Instructions [go

Manual Install |
|
These examples will be used to describe the installation process: |
| • |
C: is where you've installed SysMetrix. Change this if you've
installed into another hard drive other than C: |
If you
have different specifications (eg.: You have an E: drive, not C:), please
substitute them.
Installing SysMetrix skins
have a small learning curve, therefore, is easier to install this (and
other skins found on the internet).
•
After you've installed SysMeter v1 on your C: drive, go to:
C:\program files\sysmetrix\themes\
•
Once you're there, make a sub-folder called Porta Metal.
•
Take your downloaded zip file (presumably still zipped) and unzip it to
that newly created sub-folder created one step before.

Some people might complain that my
skin does not display fonts properly. In this case, copy the Quartz.ttf
font to C:\windows\fonts.
•
Load SysMetrix and right click on SysMetrix. Click SYSMETRIX CONFIGURATION from the menu that pops out. When its
window pops up, make sure you are in the THEME BROWSER section.
[
! ] pay attention to this section
•
To select my skin, on the AVAILABLE THEMES items menu, select
"PORTA METAL" and click LOAD THEME, *not* SAVE AND EXIT.
You're done!
