Apologies for not replying sooner..
I follow what you are saying - but I am by no means a skin developer.
I came to the conclusion that perhaps the easiest way for me to tackle this would be to take a working network monitor skin and copy & paste the code from that skin to this Monterey 'network' skin.
So the part of your text I was having a problem with implementing was the following:
The code I thought relevant was in Rainmeter\Skins\illustro\Network\Network.ini:
It seems that I only need this Download activity to be displayed under the Monterey Network region, so if we can get this working that would be ideal.
Hope this helps.
p.s. I think the region of the Monterey skin we have to apply this to is:
I'm not sure how to apply the Measure when the Monterey skin refers to: Measure=Plugin & Plugin=UsageMonitor.
I might be looking in the wrong place but that's the only thing i could make out of it.
I also thought - maybe there's even a way of editing the Monterey skin's network code in order to simplify it for my purpose, i.e. so that I display the Download activity of the active Interface. i know you haven't installed the skin - so might not be able to test - in which case this might not be resolved.

I have an unused skin called illustro on my system and it has a network monitor also measured in Bytes. This Network Monitor works. I had a go at pasting some code in but to no avail. I think I'm going to need your guidance if you don't mind?The solution would be to add the proper Name option in the UsageMonitor measures (the equivalent of Instance in perfmon.exe, i.e. the bold-ed column headers at the top left in the screenshot) in order to indicate a single network interface to get data for, presumably the interface you're using to connect to the internet.
The code I thought relevant was in Rainmeter\Skins\illustro\Network\Network.ini:
Code:
[measureNetIn]Measure=NetInNetInSpeed=#maxDownload#; NetInSpeed must be set so your maximun download speed for the download bar to scale correctlyIt seems that I only need this Download activity to be displayed under the Monterey Network region, so if we can get this working that would be ideal.
