Custom Rainmeter Skins

Since I had a hard time to find any animebased rainmeter skins that I really like, I decided to try make some own, and here's my result. Please say what you think =)

Oh, and for those that doesn't know what a rainmeter is; it's a windows app. that allows you to see the status of your computer, clock, etc. Well, even if you don't care about those things it's still a cool accessory. I mostly use mine to change music without having to open thereal program and to have an eye on how much space I've got left. Aaaanyway...
The Rainmeter application needed to use these skins can be downloaded here: Rainmeter

For the moment, these skin only show Cpu, Memory, Swap, Upload, Download and HDD-space. The music player used for these skins is Winamp.

To get the 4 playlist buttons to work, read this (thanks to Arbitor69):

Upload the Konata Skin please~

WOW ! nice ! i dont know how to do that ! Can u guys teach me ? + rep Ethil when i can ! Ruuu...

Downloads available on OP =) And Kuro, I see you use the same base skin as me when you edit (looks at the musicplayer buttons) =D

Lol, yeah, I use that Ayuka maid as my base skin too

@kaho17 : You only need some photoshop skill to make the pics and put it in the .ini documents in the skin folder

For people that want my rainmeter skin : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3TMSD641
And for people that want the object dock's Icon : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GQ20WDFQ

Ok, I use one calle GothicLolita, but I guess they're they have the same base aswell.

@Kaho: What Kuro said, then if you want to move buttons and shit around you have to change the numbers and stuff in the .ini. That's what take time, spent like 4 hours on the Horo skin -_-'

For me, I spent to hours at this one



Really hard because I also edit the button

And this is the first Rainmeter skin that I made

Well, I've edited the buttons on all of them, in the way that I've changed the colors, but on the Horo I had to flip them all to the side, move the music bar to the side and make it go vertical instead.

The Hardest part though was to move all the buttons that help you jump in the music. Since I made the bar shorter I had to make sure they didn't cover it to much and.. Anyway, was hard work, sucks that they're hidden on the pic since you have to move your cursor over them to see them.

i should learn how to do it.. BTW do you take requests?
i want a Rin Kokonoe Skin and i will provide pics if you can do/ want to do it..

Uhm, sure, I can take some requests. If you got pics, then thats great, I'll see if I can use them if you send me a PM or post it here.. But it might take a day or two to get it done =P But I'll try to be quick about it. Oh, and try to get pics where the character has a clear outline. It's not deadly important, but since I cut the character from the pics its hard if theres stuff that goes over it and shit, if you get what I mean.

Thank you~!!!

I really appreciate it. ^_^
And you can take your time on it.

If you can add a message to it can you have her saying "Will you play with me, Sensei?"

and pic.


i picked one with a good outline.. but it is kinda big.. sorry.

add design or what ever you feel would be right for the pic.
What kind of Rainmeter can i have on this?
I have a Cpu one running right now.. w/e you want to make it for is good for me though..

Thank you for taking the time to do this for me.

I'll accept some request too~

But don't hope that it will be done soon~

@Sarge: Ok nice. Don't worry, the size doesn't matter, I'll make it small =P Ok, i'll put that as a message, but there is a different one on when you're not playing music, what do you want there/where? And for the rainmeter background, yea, it would be good if you found a pic that you like to have. As I suck at drawing and don't have any originality don't expect to much design, not more advanced then there are on those I've already posted xD

And since I'm just editing already existing skins, you'll get the same meter on that I have (the same that's on all of them) which are Cpu, Memory, Swap, Upload and Download, Harddrive space. Maybe when I learn how to add other meters I'll start doing it, but for now, this it what I'll go with.

EDIT: I went ahead and made on, see if you like it. If you want to change anything, locations of stuff, colors, the background w/e, let me know and I'll fix it. Pic in spoiler. If you like it as it is, say it and I'll upload it.

EDIT2: lol, and I hope you don't mind the japanese. Just thought it was funny =)
