Which will help with the basics of creating a new skin and how to get started with the code.
Then I would be tempted to dig into the code of the default Illustro skins that come with Rainmeter. They are designed to be reasonably easy to understand, and modifying them is always a good way to wrap your head around things.

Welcome aboard, Christer.
Beside jsmorley's reply, Rainmeter is indeed a great piece of software, which can give you a lot of satisfies if you keep working.
I don't recommend to start immediately with creation of a plugin. First you should have to dissect some skins and work with those, but if you have enough C++ or C# experience, nor this is impossible. No matter how do you decide to start, a lot of work and satisfies are awaiting.
A good description to start with in plugin creation: https://docs.rainmeter.net/developers/#CreatePlugin

It's pretty easy to confuse the terminology early on. I'm sure he isn't thinking about jumping into plugin creation first thing.
Yep, probably. This was my first recommendation as well, in my first reply above.
