Post by: Sp1nn3y on September 20, 2010, 10:35:39 pm
So i just got rainmeter and I'm excited with all of these things i can do with it.. Suggest me some skins/plugins!

Right now i need a worthy application launcher [hold icons or just plain text.. either or]

Love rainmeter.. This is what i got so far.. Tomorrow I'm getting a new 18.5' LCD Screen so it'll change a-lot lol but for the gigantor monitor i got now this is my outcome..

Very nice Spin. Simple and sleek. I like it. What did you use to get your taskbar or maybe even your whole Windows shell like that? If you aren't running a Linux shell.. xD I've been looking on what the best program is for that kind of customization.

Anyways, I decided to test out Rainmeter for myself.

I have custom everything, my logon screen is edited with: stardock - LogonStudio
My Windows shell is edited with: Erm i think i'm using Codegazer's VistaGlazz? i am not 100% sure i thought i was using a different one.. until now? lol

Try downloading and using some of the less-default Rainmeter Skins :D

Note: Rainmeter is fully customizable, i have re-done my look and changed the fonts/sizes so many times in like 2 days lol.. any questions feel free to ask.. installing is EXTREMELY simple :D

I'm trying to link up all of the fonts and have it look reeeal nice :D

Do you use Object Dock? I added my bar on the bottom left to replace it.. too much shit open with both processes running. [btw parkway drive = win.. made me put some on] [oh check pm's btw]

Yeah, I use Object Dock, I haven't looked too hard for skins, I just got that clock skin and a battery skin. I messed around with the code for all the skins, and mostly just changed fonts, colors, and sizes.

And about the custom shell (black taskbar with orange + sign as start button) I still can't find what you are suggesting. I see you're using all StarDock programs, so are you using WindowBlinds for the rest of your shell?

Actually, I used the trial for about 2 weeks.. found the shell i liked and left it alone.. never touched it again.. And it still works fine..

Figured I'd rather reply to this, than make a redundant thread about Rainmeter.

Theme I'm working on:
