Rainmeter Against Humanity, and other inane uses of RM

Post by FuzzyLizard530 »

I'll start by saying that I'm sure there's been some crazy ideas (working or not) people have made, or wanted to make, with RM. I've considered making a sort-of "Cards Against Humanity" generator, but I'm not even sure where to start, as far as that goes....

I'm kinda curious what the most random thing you know of that's been made, or attempted, in RM.

Bonus: Tell us how well it worked (or didn't)

Note to mod(s):
Sorry if this is in the wrong place. It seemed the best fit available for the topic.
I may or may not have a signature in this, very location...

The most random thing I made was a clock whose hands didn't rotate a full 360 degrees. When the hands went past the highest time value they rotated backwards to the lowest position. I didn't know how to fix it, so it became a feature not a bug :lol: , and then I got a new computer :D.

First the bad news. [...] We would be happy to have this happen and would love to work with anyone who is feeling ambitious.
Now the good news.
I lied, there isn't any good news...

You can find some unusual ideas at Rainmeter's DeviantArt site in the "Outside the Box" section.

I've had a few of my crazy ideas end up there :o :rolmfao:
