It's lovely.

It wouldn't be as good without the label.

Where did you get it?

This is what I'm using currently. I have it cycling through about 3 dozen background though.

So I'm messing with this rainmeter shit but I can't figure out how to get my temp in F or my clock set to 12 hour instead of 24 hour.

Langly did you get the weather module to sync up to your area? I don't know how to do that.

it depends on the skin you're using.

using lubuntu with glxdock (cairo-dock), I love how really really snappy the desktop feels, even with multiple pretty taxing things running. look's kinda cheap though

Eddy

I think heavily crystallized nugs of weed look really good, but that's neither here nor there

Anyway I've been a fan of http://simpledesktops.com/ for some time now, if only because I like minimalist designs and pastels

I'm using this one http://simpledesktops.com/browse/desktops/2011/nov/15/ygb/ right now

I just found a pretty good blu ray screenshot site. Their selection isn't huge but it's good enough.

Man I was going through the main list

and I'd see like a Blues Brothers one and think "Well that's kind of a lame screenshot"

but then I clicked on one and they're a whole gallery from each movie!

This site is amazing.

nobody ever takes purple rain screenshots

maybe it's my destiny

Yep.

This site is amazing. If only for this image

The Jurassic Park gallery is a goldmine

I have a folder of about 100 screenshots each from over 300 movies that I've taken myself. They are all from DVD though.

MetroidZoid

Anyone have any particular must-have RainMeter skins?

Also I must be stupid but I can't find the instructions for manually installing .rar and .zip files into RainMeter. It was in the opening help section, and I lost that.

Artreus

Weed looks pretty gross. Especially the uh. Crystallized or whatever stuff.

Also it had been a whole ago but dead end thrills has amazing video game screenshot photography wallpapers

That is lovely and would work really well with some nice minimal black rainmeter stuff.

Cannabis is a plant, so even though I don't partake, I will find some kind of beauty in it's form.

what is this rainmeter thing

to the googles

and yeah i love that picture and have been waiting for win7 to use it, i didn't want it covered by any of vista's bullshit. i have no idea what the source is besides "they took it while shooting" but it's a great moment in my second-favorite scene and yeah.

Simple Media is my favourite

Buttlord

i don't Get this rainmeter thing

i have a clock and such

why do i need this skin

Delzhand

I've had this up for a long time: NSFW for anime cleavage

I put it up originally because of Reasons, but even after the novelty of the image wore off, I realized I love the colors and clean lines too much to change it.

MetroidZoid

Thanks @Pipe , I like that one.

#pipe

I've had a wallpaper of the Shuttle Endeavour taking off on my work computer for long enough.

Time for a change.

Because it looks nice.

Vann Diras

rainmeter for me has to be used with a hidden taskbar

because yeah it can look nice, but then it also just looks redundant and silly if you leave the taskbar around

Depressperado

I want a good way to replace my taskbar that isn't ObjectDock

I don't want to be constantly taunted by things I can't do because I'm not gonna buy it

also, anyone have any other rainmeter skins? I have simplemedia but I want some more!

#pipe

Rocketdock is opensource and free and super customizable

Vann Diras

rocketdock is pretty good from what i remember, too

Depressperado

yesss

awesome, thank you heshpips

you can use it to get rid of the taskbar, right? or is there a way to just turn the taskbar off without using a 3rd-party thing?
