Polygonal Desktop
Reader Pushkar introduced this beautiful desktop in our desktop showcase and we really love its look. Useful as a second screen or when it’s time to get going, this is how he set it up.
Pushkar’s desktop for Windows is quite simple to set up. You will need the basics we mentioned earlier, but here are the components together:
- Polygonal Wallpaper by DeviantArt
- Tool setting and monitoring system for Rainmeter for Windows
- A minimalistic Rainmeter skin for creating system monitors in the lower left corner of the screen.
- Monstercat visualizer for music sync visualizer in the bottom right corner of the page
- Zirim Clock for Rainmeter for large clock and date in the center of the screen
- Simple Media skin for temperature in the upper left corner of the screen
- Night Shade Clock for the analog clock in the upper right corner of the screen
- RocketDock as a replacement app launcher at the bottom of the screen
- Ourea Icon Pack to replace the default icons in RocketDock
That’s all. If you like the whole “clock in the center of the screen” thing that we see on many desktops, you can customize it as described above. If you don’t, you can omit the Zirim Clock skin to keep the center of the screen open. We see why Pushkar kept it – it’s great when you have nothing, maybe as a second screen or desktop that you don’t always use, but there is still an analog clock in the corner in case you need to open apps on the screen, but still want to know the time (since the taskbar is not set to display).
If you like what you see, check out Pushkar’s Kinja blog (link below) to let him know that you like his work! Let him know that we have sent you.
