How to give Windows 7 a fresh sci-fi look

Posted on 14:09 by Unknown
When most people think about customizing the look of their Windows Operating System GUI the first thing that comes to mind is Windows Themes. In addition to Themes, the Windows Desktop can be customized by changing the Desktop Picture or enabling Windows Dreamscene (Desktop Video) which comes stock in Vista and can be easily enabled in Windows 7.
Let’s not forget Windows Sidebar Gadgets, which can also be a nice addition to the Windows GUI. In fact, gadgets are one of the most customized features of Windows. What about Gadgets that are actually part of the desktop? A free program called Rainmeter allows you to do just that, it seamlessly implements Gadgets that can display CPU activity, RAM usage, HDD activity, and much more! There are many premade Rainmeter Skins and Gadgets already available, which are also available to download for free.

Getting Started with Rainmeter

  1. Download Rainmeter from here: http://rainmeter.net/
  2. Install Rainmeter after the download has completed. For Installation help, click here: http://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/installing-rainmeter
  3. Rainmeter comes with a default theme, but there are many great themes available for download. Once a skin or theme has been downloaded, find the .rmskin file and open it. It will proceed to install the skin into Rainmeter where it may be loaded.
Congrats, you now have a desktop worthy of James Bond lol. Cheers, Sam
