Just something nice and simple, it's a hybrid of three different themes.

Time and date is simple media, the bar in the middle is Simple bar, with some changes (I took off the time, time counter and weather, then filled in a few things myself), and the feeds are Illustro, again just added another feed box and another search box, this time linked to Youtube. Works a peach too!
 
Just came back from the Renaissance Esmeralda Hotel in Palm Springs California, and was it ever amazing there!



(yes.......the a bit of rainmeter got to me too)

They can be difficult to find the one you like, and difficult to set up properly (you might need a little bit conversant in programming language or html to get the most out of it). But go through Deviant Art, and find one you like.

I spent 2 hours trying stuff out last night. God are some ever confusing to try and set up properly.
 
The newspaper desktop is an absolute nightmare to get it set up properly...

Quick question about the simple media weather skin.

It says to edit in my location code which is 24420360 from yahoo weather as he said to do in the comments on the skin download. He says to "Set weather code in variables. INC. Where in the world to do I put that code?

This is what is underneath variables:

[Variables]
@include=#SKINSPATH#Simplicity\Variables.inc
Label=
WBar=#WBar1#




Edit: Another question. Where'd you find that date and time thing you have in simple media? I don't get anything like it.

God this took far too long. Suggestions and comments are much appreciated. New to this whole Rainmeter thing.


Oh and thanks to DG Silva and Terronium for the help.
 
That is seriously nice, I like that a lot. I wouldn't go with the diagonal date/time if I were you, it wouldn't suit the style you have.

Thank you. I do agree with not going for diagonal on that one but I think it looks pretty cool on others.
