It's a program called Rainmeter. I use it and the default skin and no icons. My desktop is so beautiful.

Sometimes when i see people's desktops they will have really clean looking overlays that display cpu usage, time, weather, and alot more, what are these 'overlays' and can someone explain them to me please?
