Sharp Dressed Earth Desktop
Flickr’s Thomas combines some of my favorite wallpapers with some clever widgets and music playback controls to create a workspace that’s probably as fun to use as it is to watch. This is how he arranged it all.
Not that it’s obvious, but Thomas runs Windows on this desktop, and while you can tell from the other desktops presented (or even my GeekTool guide ), he uses Rainmeter to get things done. If you want to do the same, you need the following:
- Wallpaper
- Tool setting and monitoring system for Rainmeter for Windows
- Muziko theme for Rainmeter for creating music playback controls and Now Playing views.
- Coded theme for Rainmeter to create date header
- Lines 2.0 theme for Rainmeter for RAM and CPU monitors
- Rainmeter MemoDijay Skin for Gmail Notifier and Clock
That’s all there is to know about it. The end product looks great nonetheless, and it all works with a theme that pairs very well with the wallpaper. He also notes that he tweaked some of the themes to change the font and slightly increase the text size, and made a few other tweaks. To find out more, visit his Flickr page (link below).
