- You need at least Rainmeter 4.3 Beta (r3298) or higher to get all features of this skin. You can find the newest version on https://www.rainmeter.net/
- After installation you can access the settings by right-clicking the visualizer or song information and then clicking on Open Settings.
- Due to limitations of Rainmeter the complete audio output of your system will be shown on the visualizer. For the best experience only play music. This is something I can’t fix.
- Download the latest version here: https://github.com/MarcoPixel/Monstercat-Visualizer/releases
- Install the skin by double-clicking the .rmskin file and follow the steps in the installer.
- After finishing the setup Rainmeter will open the settings skin where you can configure and customize the skin.

The original project has been abandoned by the creator and issues are piling up. This version aims to fix some of those issues. Not all but some.
In addition to the existing features of the visualizer, this version will have:
- Better choice of colors for the bars (see issue #413).
- Support for vertically aligned monitors (see issue #412)
- Better settings menu.
As of today (02/02/25) development hasn't started.
