Rainmeter - A Super Cool Desktop Customisation Program

[Mr.Aries-Martis]

Love your desktop guy, gonna attempt to replicate it, can't seem to find that exact wallpaper in 2560 x 1440 though.

Don't worry just ask my friend

I made this one myself.

And its no problem to make one in your resolution.  PM me about this.

You want the exact same wallpaper or some different quote or something?

Rainmeter is epic :3

While I completely see why some people like rainmeter but it really isn't for me. As someone who has zero icons on their desktop and simple wallpapers, I don't think I could use rainmeter. I might have to give it a shot though sometime.

I used it for about 3 months then removed it lol

Spent two hours editing the Nova skin to match a edited wallpaper I came up with. Rather tedious making everything suitable for 2560 x 1440, but it is done Not quite Conky but o well...

I'll be sure to check that skin out. It looks great

 

I only started using rainmeter 2-3 days ago. And i know it'll take a whole lot longer before i've got something i am completely happy with.

But i'll keep it this way until my 2560 x 1440 Dell arrives. Then i can really start setting it up for the long term

Here's what it looks like right now.. All i've bothered to do is to edit the .ini file on the drives one to show all my disks. Some of them are quite old so it's nice to know if one of them fails unexpectedly.

Hows does this work if you never see your desktop?

lol. i can relate to that

Oh, I love Rainmeter! It totally rocks. There is nothing that even compares to it...

Good point!

Yeah well it works nice if you can put it on an extra monitor. Essentially it's an alternative for having other monitoring programs.

I just switch to the desktop for a second if I want to check something

 

Man you guys have some nice setups here. Like!

yea I cant see my desktop and even some windows

I already have 4 monitors... I still use the addgadget sidebar monitoring programs since most monitors are wide enough to give up those few pixels so I can have it always on top.

Did a bit more on my Rainmeter, altered it to show both public and private IP address, edited this music player to match my aesthetic. Get a google calender plug-in and I'll be all set

I have used rainmeter awhile back, and I do like it. But I think the problem isn't rainmeter itself, but the lack of high quality unique skins. Yes, there are some cool futuristic skins out there, but nothing that is really unique in my eyes. I am a programmer, so I know what it takes to create these skins. It's not hard, just time consuming. And I haven't had the time nor interest in creating a custom skin. But now that you mention rainmeter, I might take the time out to create my own skin.

Thank You.

Well, as so many of you are still using it i'll get back the beta, 'cause i miss having a clock and ram usage meter.

Simple.... you mean the default skin =P

[Lord Pantaloons]

I tried it awhile ago but I found it annoying to set up

[flibberdipper]

Simple.... you mean the default skin =P

I removed one or two things...

 

I just couldn't find one that I liked more or was as clean and simple. Sometimes I use CLN.
