hey there in this tutorial we will see how to customize our desktop using the rainmeter
software.
As you can see my desktop is already customized using the skins of the rainmeter.
So you must be wondering what is rainmeter
You can just open your web browser and goto your search engine page and just type in rainmeter
and press enter.
And you will get something like this on your screen - Rainmeter desktop customization tool.
Just click on it.
And you will have something like this..
You can just download rainmeter from their official download page.
After downloading you can just install it. I have already installed it so i am cancelling
the download.
After download the rainmeter just install it and make sure that you are getting the
latest version from the rainmeter website.
And after installing it just run your rainmeter.
To run rainmeter just type rainmeter.
And..
just click on this application to run rainmeter.
I am not going to click on this application because my rainmeter is already running in
the background on my windows.
I can see my rainmeter in the windows system tray
Over here you can see rainmeter is running.
I can just double click on it and then the rainmeter management window opens
In this rainmeter management window
There are three tabs, the skins tab, the themes tab and the settings tab
Don't worry about the settings tab right now.
just focus on the skins tab
You can see i have several skins over here. And to get these skins you can just open your
web browser. Goto your search engine page and just type in rainmeter skins. And you
will get some results for the same. You can download the skins from any of these websites.
But i would recommend the deviant art website to you guys. Just search for the same and
you will find this link. Just open that link.
And here you will find the skins for your rainmeter tool. You can see. You can also
find themes for the same. So you can either download the skins or themes according to
your preference.
Okay so now i will tell you how to change your rainmeter theme and customize your rainmeter
skins as well. So you can just download your rainmeter skins and themes from this website
itself and just your downloaded file to install the theme. And after installing your skin
or theme, just open your rainmeter.
And in rainmeter just go in themes. You can see the saved themes are displayed in this
box. Right now my active theme is the temp1 theme which i have customized.
So to change the theme i will just select some other theme. The ABP theme and i will
click on load. And you can see the previous theme has disappeared
and the new theme has been applied.
So i will just change my theme again to my customized theme. I will click on temp1 and
then i will click on load.
So my new theme has been applied.
Ok so now i will tell you how to change your rainmeter skins.
So to change your rainmeter skin, just click on the skins tab. And here you will find the
list of folders of skins which i have downloaded from the internet. So here i can just expand
any folder.
Right now i am going to expand the encircled folder. And then I am going to expand the
up down folder. And then select the up down dot ini. And then just click on the load button
over here.
After clicking on load button you can see this skin has appeared on my desktop.
The upload speed and download speed is being displayed on the screen.
So this is how you can apply skins and you can even unload the skins.
Just select the skin and unload. And if you want to load again just select that skin and
load.
So this is the way you can load and unload your skin.
Theres another way to unload your skin. Just click .. I mean right click on your skin.
And click unload. And your skin will be unloaded.
You can even move your skins on your desktop.
Just click on your skin and move..
You can see this is as simple as that.
So this all about my desktop rainmeter customization tutorial.
