Install

Copy this folder to:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Rainmeter Codex Halo

In Rainmeter, refresh skins and load:

Rainmeter Codex Halo\Welcome\Welcome.ini

Click Start Halo to refresh the local Codex snapshot and open the main skin.

Designs

Use the control panel to switch designs and sizes:

Rainmeter Codex Halo\Control\Settings.ini

Available designs:

• Halo - circular ring display
• Horizontal - wide compact bar
• Vertical - stacked compact panel
• Glyph - minimal twin-meter display
• Streamline - thin horizontal strip with visible 5-hour end time and weekly reset date
• SignalRail - ultra-thin segmented rail with refined data typography
• MicroStack - compact two-line stack with polished micro readouts

Refresh

Click the skin's status pill, or use the Rainmeter right-click menu:

Refresh Codex Data

The current values are stored locally in:

@Resources\CodexLimits.inc

The guarded 30-second refresh updates displayed values without reloading the active skin, so Rainmeter's own position and layer settings stay under user control.

Privacy

Codex Halo uses the local sign-in token already stored by Codex and asks Codex's own usage endpoint for the same values shown in the app account menu. It does not use a third-party endpoint or custom server.

If live usage cannot be read, Codex Halo keeps the last cached values or falls back to legacy local rate_limits session events.

Version

Current build: 0.5.16
