Binary Rain Desktop
Richard’s Reader desktop is fun and functional, but it also has tools to help him get started when he needs it. This is how he arranged it all.
All of this is a pretty simple Rainmeter setup that only takes you a few minutes if you have all the components for it. Here’s what you need:
- Satchell Drakes’ Cloud Storage Wallpaper.
- Tool setting and monitoring system for Rainmeter for Windows
- SimpleSentenceThree Rainmeter Skin to Create CPU and Memory Monitors
- KitKat Clock skin to create a clock in the center of the screen
- Googlebar skin for Rainmeter for desktop search bar
- Zune Player for Rainmeter for Music Player
- Token icon replaces default taskbar icons
- Cambria Launch Scope to Replace Launch Button
That’s all you need and they are all pretty independent. Once installed and configured wherever you want, everything else is straightforward. If you have questions about how this is set up or need help, head over to Richard’s Flickr page (link below) to ask your questions – and let him know what we’ve sent you!
