That previous desktop customization was pretty basic compared to the one I’m putting up today. I know that one looked better (less cramped,) but this one packs a hell lot more data in the screen. It’s Rainmeter backed up by a set of Gaia walls, and surprisingly, Windows Gadgets!

Some of the info on display:

  • Weather (3 Days forcast, Current Day details)
  • CPU Usage Graph
  • Swap, RAM Usage Graph
  • Network Usage Graph (Download and Upload)
  • CD Art (displayed from iTunes)
  • Sunrise, Sunset times; Moon phase
  • Disk Space (there’s even that nifty li’l Recycle Bin)
  • RSS Feeds
  • Outlook Tasks
  • Wireless Connectivity

Hope you guys like it…

Tools and Skins used:

Rainmeter 1.3 beta
Enigma
HUD Vision
Weather
Arcs
(You’ll get Enigma+Arcs in Rainmeter by default)

Wallpaper:

Gaia 08 Suite

I’ve always wanted to put up a screen of my desktop. I’ve been modding theme files and customizing it since the WinVista days. And finally, I get myself to do it. Hope you guys like it…

Yes I know it says “variation”, but I haven’t modified Gnometer. I’ve just used it in a different way… The basic idea was to put all the feeds and internet grabbers in one place, and sysinfo in another. And Gnometer comes with a handy toolbar too! And of course, the ever handy Enigma icons for Sunrise/set info, moon phase, etc. Boy, I do LOVE my desktop.

Tools and Skins used:

Rainmeter 1.3 beta
Gnometer
Enigma
Arcs
(Don’t worry. The links are just for reference. The themes come by default in Rainmeter now…)

Wallpaper:

Leaf Cutter Ants

I’ve been using Rainmeter since 0.1x (Feb 2006). It’s been a wonderful journey. I have a series of pics to show, starting from my first desktop, to Enigma and more. And maybe someday I’ll get around to doing it. Till then. Ja ne.

PS: Know what? The day’s finally come! But I don’t have as many pics as I thought… Do check out the desktop evolution post.
