WIN 7 Ultimate 64 bit on rainmeter TESV-V2 skin.

It would have been desktop screen showoff thread.
My all PCs have messy desktop. Not worth showing off.

I have RainMeter Themes from likes of DeviantArt and looks killer on Win7.
Gonna upload them Tommorow.

The Xp screen is too much messed up though.

Btw, guys if you are looking for fantastic looking game wallpapers go to Dead End Thrills | The Art Of Gaming .

@ram22693: what is that theme? I mean how did you manage to change the icon style like that? I really like that.

doesn't affect me.... maybe it will depend on your rig.

Will depend on your rig. If you have sandy bridge with 4GB of RAM the delay will be just 2-3 seconds. totally worth it in my opinion.

its rainmeter+shield os + avengers + glossy + blue afterburn, used and edited codes to sync with GPU temp and wifi. Now the tricky part is the green color, the original skin comes with a variant of 3 colors orange, rd and blue, i did override it with PAINT.net

i think u lost me at shield os thingy lol XD

this is a theme. now using rainmeter, u can mix skins up, here skins means widgets, with all the little things out there starting from clocks and shield ÓS logo and pretty much everything, u only need to install rainmeter, import skins into them, edit the ini file and mix up combinations of skins (again read widgets ) to make a feel out of your own imagination.

Any beautiful themes for Windows 7 SP1 from deviantart that has an installer.

what do you mean by installer?just download & install rainmeter then download any rainmeter skin(like wisp posted above) from deviantart & double click to install/load it.your system is powerful enough so try heavy animation skins to see some nice visual effects.

^ It's OMNIMO right? I once setup this but system resource widget didn't work.

I always turn off this things before starting game.( e.g. turning of antivirus, rainmeter, switching to windows classic

) this way I can run CoD MW series on HD 4000 :razz:

that's what i meant, 8000K of memory isn't much?
I have 6GB RAM.
Also I feel lazy to turn off and on again and again whenever I have to play games. I use avast so keep it running in background whenever I play games.

Well it's your choice...........
But do remember that your antivirus, bluetooth, media players when idle all take the same memory and applications like google drive, web browsers, bittorent sync all use up more than 20000k of memory.......

yeah i know that yaar. Thats why I keep as much low apps running in background as possible while playing game.
Actually I want to use rainmeter thats why I posted here. Any good lightweight theme if you guys know?

Also, 10000k memory won't affect my game? If not then I'll install good themes

Check out this video: *www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVJEXeZy47E
As per your second question I don't think Rainmeter will slow down your games if you have 6 gigs of RAM and you can always use Game Booster for one click performance boost IMHO.
PS: I also don't think you will get that much memory use because I mix and match skins and have installed quite a lot of them and was also running the BETA version.

thanks! i tried a couple of them, but they wouldn't let me click and open the respective partitions, so reverted to the illustro skin. can you please recommend one?

The one from Simply Nova V2 is nice and with some tweaking you can change it's colour to match it's theme. Also you can try out the one with the wisp skin but AFAIK it can only display two volumes....

thank you! will check both (IMO, there should be some instructions in the wisp ini file for disks on how to add more labels. i will check that and confirm later here).

changed the HDD-meters (simply nova v2). found that i already had downloaded the skin, but hadn't installed it. the default colour-scheme matches with my present skin, so didn't change. just tweaked the ini file to display all my HDD partitions correctly.

haha, through my use of computers, mobiles etc., I've rarely used a Wallpaper outside of the default ones available. Some sort of lame record.

I like it clean and simple

new one here, with omnimo ('oxygen' package) running with rainmeter:

a strange thing noticed by me. i had uninstalled and reinstalled my AV program to a different location. post that, i noticed an immediate delay in boot time (ie, the time after booting up when the system/screen gets ready). dont know why that happened. following that, i disabled rainmeter from start-up, and now manually start it after my PC boots up. earlier, ie, before shuffling the AV, it wasn't like that.

The Wallpapers keep changing though all have the same style.

I like your skin, specially the bottom taskbar.
I still need to figure something about my taskbar. It looks boring right now, but I still don't want to change the way it functions.

[MENTION=265475]anikkket[/MENTION] - Nice, Why keep the Recycle bin icon at top left ?

your desktop-skin is nice too. which skin with omnimo?
and how did you manage to place those minimised windows/pinned programs to the middle of the taskbar?
and the dock at the top of the screen? its another dock, apart from rocketdock?

Thanks, Space Skin

GhorMaanas said:

By creating a new tool bar on the left side, point it at a folder & hide the text, adjust width so that windows appear at the center.
Nothing extra needed, its easy, I haven't yet seen how it looks with many windows.

I'm not used to it though, everytime I keep looking at the left then I realize its at the center.

GhorMaanas said:

Not a dock, it comes with space skin.

alright. got it. thanks.
even i have recently started using my default windows taskbar at the left, and sometimes out of habit, i momentarily take the cursor down to open minimised windows at the bottom.

So I revamped it again... This time I am trying dock. I think I might stick to this config.
