This.

This is.

This is beautiful.

It looks so fucking mature, my god. I'm not the best with computers, but I'm going to do this. If I fail, and lose everything, I'm blaming all of you for tempting me.

 

[The Reverend]

All I've managed to do is create an ugly mess.

This is wack.

I just remembered to try this. So far, I have Rainmeter installed. Now I'm trying to figure out how to customize it.

Yeah, it takes a bit of fiddling, but once you get use to it you will be able to customize to your hearts desire.

I use deviant art for my rainmeter downloads etc.
You can find what I used here: X3 My New Desktop Ft Secret-Technology by ~x360rampagex on deviantART

If you wish.

can I just download a "preset" for this program?

Well, sort of. You have the main station, and then you have accessories to that station. I use "Enigma" as my main station, but you will want to customize it to get any use out of it.

If you would like I can make a video to help you. Just let me know what you need help with.

How are these desktop/theme's on the computer resource wise? Big drain, small drain, no drain?

I would only recommend having an extensive rainmeter if you have a high end PC. I have a quad-core 3.2hz, 8gb ram, system and it runs it fine. But my idle use is about 2gb, but processor barely anything. so I would say have at least 4gb ram, on a 64-bit system.

 

[GazPots]

Running a quad core with 64 bit and 4 gb of ram anyway.


Might give it a bash.

Well, the only thing preventing me to do anything related is being afraid to fuck everything up and having to re-format

If you have a fresh back-up and the windows CD you have nothing to worry about.

 

[Fiction]

I don't think you can really fuck things up. You edit it all inside the program, and if you don't like it you can restore to default, uninstall it or just quit the program. You're not playing around with your computers setting at all.. If you want just set up restore point before you start and you're all good to go

Rainmeter wont do any of that shit to your computer. It's basically just a program that runs little windows on your screen.

 

[leandroab]

In that case...Ok then hahahah

LeBump!

I've been playing around with Rainmeter a bit. I've gone for the classy approach. This is what I've got:
