when i run rainmeter skins i turn the start bar to hide and remove all desktop icons. (i usualy only run rainmeter when im filming something in my room, it just makes my pc look cool so that my backdrop isnt just bland)

I kind of do, hate icons on my desktop, only keep the Rubbish Bin, I also have my taskbar hidden at all time lol

 

Had rainmeter before, used this clock overlay thing which blended with the wallpaper looked pretty nice, but never got round to even downloading it again since I did a clean fresh install of windows

Isn't there an option to give complete free placement of icons instead of the grid-based? I remember I used it on my laptop so that the icon itself was on the edge of the screen, that way they couldn't be seen but still be clicked. It required some memory, but was kinda neat.

I do the same, if I put a good quality wallpaper I don't want it to be covered in icons. I pin my most used applications on the task bar.NU7rQuo.jpg

Decided to use rainmeter again! 

 

Going to leave it simple like this for a bit:

Just a media player to start/stop/forward songs playing off spotify and a visualizer for those songs plus a little clock/date.

It was linked on Jalopnik a while back. Every so often they feature high quality photos of cars for desktop wallpapers. Usually called "Your Ridiculously Awesome [insert Car Here] Wallpaper Is Here". Right now it's a BMW M4 in the woods but I'm sticking with the FB RX7 for now. I like the sky in it.

I keep what I need to access fast on my taskbar and my desktop clean. I'll have it no other way!
