A lot of people wanted me to release the skin after the desktop was featured on Lifehacker, so here it is. It's a simple lines of codes I packed up together from many great rainmeter skins. I enjoyed creating it because working on something that people liked makes me feel that I accomplished something.
One thing about the "To Do", "Academics" and "Event", the little white icon can be clicked to edit its content.
Ah well, enjoy :] Questions and comments are always welcome.
P.S You're free to modify it to your liking. I know it's not perfect so there might be some problems lurking within it.
Do you think you can help me out. I just downloaded rainmeter and your skin. I'm trying to add my schedule to the calender, but I don't know how. I'm pretty lost. I've used rainmeter before although it's been a while.
First, I will need to apologize for not being able to reply to anyone... at all. I've been away from desktop customizing for a over two years and I have not even used Rainmeter since then at all. With most of you know by now, Rainmeter has been updated to a whole different level that I remember. So, I do not think that this Rainmeter skin is as functioning as it was when I released it on March 20, 2009. There's been a lot of reported bugs after just quickly glancing at the comments before and I honestly do not know what can be done (as of now) because the codes used in the most recent skins available in DeviantArt are different now, too. I confirmed this after installing Rainmeter a few minutes before I started writing this. The included skins are fantastic, I also had just tried Kaelri's newly released Enigma and goddamn, to think so much has happened.
I will tell you guys that I'm really interested in what I see with the Rainmeter community. I will try to get back but I'm not obliged to any promises in updating the skin (there are so many skins much better than this one!). But if ever, I would like to make or redesign some of the skins I see in a minimalistic appear, like Gothic Century. Plus, it's summer! Lots of free time (unlike these past horrid years).
Anyway, you guys are still free to modify this skin however you want. And now I will try to get to some answers below:
--- 1.) There is an error: well, this Rainmeter skin is very, very outdated. Especially with the weather configuration. If I remember correctly, some weather providers no longer allow feeds (which is one of what I was using). I don't really know right now if there's a way to fix this. I personally haven't even touched these files since I released it...
2.) Wallpaper: This skin was made when I still had Windows Vista and a laptop. Over the past 2 years, I updated my computer and I didn't bother bringing the old files on my computer. But try this anyway: [link]
3.) Where to put it: If you don't know this... I think you should stop right here. Because the rest of the skin could disappoint you anyway But if you still insist: Computer\Program Files\Rainmeter\Skins is your directory.
4.) For the kind comments: thank you! D: .....(and I'm sorry)
