Good job! The skin seems pretty exhaustive. Especially useful if you can customize which cryptocurrencies are immediately displayed.

Been a fan of rainmeter before but only for aesthetic purposes but tell me, how heavy is this on CPU usage? I wouldn't want this slowing down my regular and other tasks.
Also from where does this fetch data from?

Thanks! Yes, it was a lot of work to be honest, but I'm happy with the results.  I haven't had any issues with CPU so far and I only have 4GB RAM.  You can always limit the number of coins you track (both skins are adjustable) or use the small / medium variants to reduce the load.

The tracker uses coinmarketcap and the portfolio / watchlist uses cryptocompare for data.
