    The Story
    As I said in my last post, I recently came to the realization that I had many rainmeter meters running on my desktop that I actually had no use for. This was making my desktop look cluttered, as well as causing rainmeter to hog my CPU. So I took everything that I never used off my desktop and started working on creating a functional, as well as good looking, desktop.

    Rainmeter Changes
    - Since I am constantly using my RSS multimeter, I decided to double it's size, as well as add more "tabs"

    - I like using my weather meter occasionally, but I realized that to make it fit with the other meters, I'd have to make it vertical

    - I constantly keep an eye on my HDD space (so I know when it's time to "clean up") so I decided to design a HDD meter based off of the HUDvision HDD meter

    - I realized that, although the calendar meter was nice, it took up too much room for my liking. So I shrunk it to fit with my weather meter and my HDD meter.

    - As for the bottom bar, nothing's really changed since last time :)

    -Usually I have icons on my desktop, but I accidentally changed an option that made them invisible right before I took the screenshot. I kind of liked how it looked so I didn't bother changing it back.

      Best desktop I've seen up here thus far.
      Really nice job.
      I am seriously considering trying to replicate this look on my desktop now!
      And thanks for the detailed description!
