Hi all,
I'm having a bit of trouble with a rainmeter skin I've been trying to download. I am not the most tech savy but I figured that there might be someone on Fakku! that could break it down for me.
Here is the problem:
I've been trying to update my desktop and customize my settings so I in my infinite wisdom downloaded rainmeter thinking I could feel my way through. Now that I have I'm baffled with how to use it.
What I'm trying to do is get an audio player and calender on my desktop with my own custom skin but when I download it it comes up as an non-extractable .rar file...up until now the only files i screw with are my emulators so I'm not even sure if I'm doing it right
anyways the skin I'm trying to get is here
I'm using windows 7 and rainmeter 2.4
thanks in advance

The file is extractable for me, do you have software for extracting .rar files?
Other than that you just have to make a folder for the skin under C:/users/*username*/My Documents/rainmeter/skins
You'll have to manually create a folder for it, then you just extract the files into that folder, restart Rainmeter and it should show up like any other skin. Worked flawlessly for me.

Winrar no doubt, or possibly 7-zip.
