Rainmeter

[Moondrelor]

How many of you use rainmeter? If so mind posting your wall? When I had a computer I had this bad ass rainmeter set up.

I'd show it but I don't have the PC anymore, only computer I have is the computer here at work... (I'm IT, slow days = LTT and YT) Haha

I used to but when i did a fresh reinstall i forgot about it, its a nice thing to keep on your second monitor

I use it, but I'm currently at school and can't post a picture of the desktop.

I used to, but then I realised that it's kind of a gimick

Makes for a fancy view.

I've done it on a few friend's computers.

Hours of typing...

I found that all of the skins I installed weren't actually that practical, and they included high rated ones such as Honeycomb. To create a new icon, you had to do it yourself, which took time, and by the time you've done that, it's not even that rewarding imo.

I like it, maybe spend a little time on making icons? Since you have very few, you could make some text icons, make it look very neat. Personal preference though.

I was actually looking at re-installing Rainmeter after many years... I probably haven't used it in a good 5-6 years or so?

 

I wanted something to display all of my active network adapters.

It was quite rewarding for me, after I spent 14 hours creating my desktop. Lmao. I even had a few animations going on. Much frustration though trying to get everything I wanted and then getting it to match my background picture that I kept on changing. It looked very nice.

Maybe you should look back into it Something like that is very easy to do, and you could actually probably go to like deviant art and download a skin that already has that kind of stuff in place and all you would have to do is very few or no minor tweaks to get it the way you want it.

For me, I like practicality, and to me it didn't seem like it'd be worth the effort as I only put temporary folders on my desktop, and everything else on my taskbar.

yay you are not one of those people that has their whole desktop filled to the brim with shortcuts and downloads <3

I got it because i wanted to set up something resembling fences, but its not posible, so i kept it for the time being. then i discovered that im shit at finding the steam icon on my desktop, so i took matters into my own hand it lights up when you hover on it too

I know, I'm boring.
