Rainmeter 2.0 - Bust your desktop

Hey...what's up my name is James and today I will show you something awesome that can make your days creative! Now this program is known 'Rainmeter', which it can allow you to customize your own desktop to avoid those wacky default widgets or gadgets.

Here is a example of my own desktop that is powered by Rainmeter:



Want yours look like mine? Well follow these easy steps and your desktop will be definitely sick. Now first thing first, install 'Rainmeter 2.0 (32bit/64bit)'. This program only works for Windows 2000, Vista, XP, and 7. Don't know about Mac, so don't proceed.

Here is a link: Rainmeter

Ok now launch the installation program, then click on "I agree", then click on "next", and "Install". So that's all there is. Easy easy right? That would be a yes for you guys. Now you will needed some skins.

Now go here for starters and choose either skin you want. My favorite is enigma. After download, just launch the program and it will do the rest for you.

And choose anything you want. Now if you had any confusion or problems, just contact me by sending a reply ot PM me.

Thanks for reading and I hope your desktop so totally sick.

Ask me questions or give me comments!

Remember: Keep it real

nice post man gona try this out but are there any more themes than just those 3?

Used rainmeter in the past, never was all that impressed with it, there were some plugins for winamp but they were either hella broken or didn't have certain features that I was looking for

Thanks bro and yes, there are a lot of themes. If you want mines, it's called "i2 bar" just by clicking the first link. The rest of the features are from other themes. Themes I suggested to use are "Dark eve", "Live 4 music", "Mark III", "Enigma", and "dark_gear".

I feel you bro. Some features aren't working, depending which theme downloaded. I just can't figure out most winamps won't work.
