High Orbit Desktop
Flickr user Thomas put together this desktop to celebrate Orion’s successful test flight last month. Great plain wallpapers and a few well-placed skins and we feel like we’re in orbit too. This is how he arranged it.
You’ve probably seen these wallpapers on the previous desktops featured, but Thomas makes them look right at home in his customization. If you like its look, here’s what you need to customize yourself:
- Wallpaper “Earth” by Simon Gustavsson.
- Rainmeter , a system configuration and monitoring tool for Windows
- Rainmeter coded skin for date header in upper right corner
- Lines 2.0 Skin for Rainmeter for system monitors at the bottom of the screen
- MemoDijay package for Rainmeter for circular clock and new Gmail message indicator on desktop
- Muziko Skin for Rainmeter for Now Playing information on screen
That’s all. Thomas resized the text of some skins to make them look better on his screen, and you can do the same in your settings. If you have questions about how to set it up or get it to work, click on the Flickr link below to go to Thomas’s page and ask how he did it all. Don’t forget to let him know we sent you and loved his work when you leave!
