Icons with sideway text

Post by Retroshot »

Hey guys,

I wanted to costumize my dekstop so that i have all my icons of my games kinda small and with text lined up to the right of them.

Can anyone explain how to do this.

To make it a little bit clearer I have made a sketch.

Thanks in advance!

I recommend you read Rainmeter 101 and do the Skin Tutorials. After that, I think you should know everything you need to make this simple skin.
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!

Tipps:

- Meter = Image for Icons
- optional: use relative positioning with X = (x)r and Y = (y)r or X = (x)R and Y = (y)r

you could check already existing skins like

to get more knowledge

maybe look on http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/sysmonitor/rainmeter/
for more simple solutions =)
