skin recommendations

Post by Belgianblue »

I was once, in a distant past, a rainmeter addict. I haven't used it in 8 years though, and haven't owned a decent rig in nearly 5. That all changed this weekend, and in putting this new rig together I'm fascinated how much customization is in the actual hardware now, and obviously I couldn't just stop there, and immediately rainmeter came to mind.

I am however 8 years behind and no doubt going to waste WAAAAAY too much time on it, while I actually bought this monster solely for work. But hey, a good rainmeter set up only makes work easier no ?

I was hoping some kind souls could help me find a few skins to get me started, to mess around with. I always liked elaborate HUD style displays on at least one of the screens, with things in the center that fold in or out (I remember I had a something from an old Iron Man Hud skin, where I replaced the middle image with a a HAL3000 Button, which would make the lot appear or dissappear on clicking), lots of functionality, and preferably matching my righ (blue/green). This is the rig :

This is the reason why HAL3000 and Iron Man typê central control panels still interest me, my NZXT Kraken AIO CPU cooler which circles green and blue and breathes the NZXT logo in and out :

This is my screen setup. 2x27inchers horizontal and one vertical, set at Full HD res (the outer two go higher, but usually best if I keep them set same) and a small 19 inch monitoring screen below the desk. I could extend to the laptop as well, since M720 Triathlon mouse and Logitech Flow allow me to use just move the mouse to the other computer as if it was one system.

Any help from you creative minds on a handful of skins or addons I could get started with, maybe mix and match, and play with a bit. Also, I don't suppose there are many central resources to help me catch up in 8 or more years of development, but if there are, you would also contribute to one self-employed person staying in business because he managed to work instead of procrastinating working on his rainmeter skills :p

Thank you kindly, But Obviously i'had found those links on the main page and have cautiously began perusing. I'm not sure if my post was unclear in that regard, but i meant to elicit 'specific' suggestions for 'specific' skins, thus perhaps saving time.
