    how do I do this

    can I do it on windows?

    That is on windows 7.

    Download rainmeter. Click that link and download the skin/wallpaper.

    Load the skin and drag the different things to where you want them on the wallpaper.

    Edit the weather skin to include your yahoo weather code (yahoo weather, look up your zip code, click on "extended forecast" use the three letter then series of numbers code in the url. )

    Download taskbar eliminator and rocketbar if you want to completely replace the start bar.

    I could never figure out how to get rain meter working with skins before this, thanks a ton! Didn't realise it was so simple.

    Rainmeter owns, but I never really feel the need to actually use it on my desktop.

    Like, I've always got something full-screen on my main monitor, always. Photoshop, internet, game, whatever.

    Then my secondary monitor has steam and other chat shit, and my music stuff.

    I never see my desktop ever!

  • #pipe#pipe Cocky Stride, Musky odours Pope of Chili TownRegistered User regular
    I never full screen anything other than movies or games.

    everything is windowed always.

    I have that case

    It is a shitty heavy dust magnet and I cannot wait to be rid of it.

    It has also served me well and will probably outlive my grandchildren.

    I have that case!

    or one close to it. Mine is the one with a 200 mm fan on top, it is the mother of all case fans.

    it

    makes lots of dust.

    Botinicula, and yes, it's been out a little while now.

    It is a delight. If you ever want to just smile for a long while playing a game, play that game.
