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!

I'm normally really good about keeping track of where my wallpapers come from, but I've got no clue about this one. I've uploaded here: Urban Wallpaper
If you're interested, I found it on this website here: 4scrape
