My name is Jake, but I go by Xi.Cynx on the interwebz. I am into graphics designing as well as level creation. Rainmeter has sparked my interest now for quite some time and I have learned how to use it quite well. There is still a lot more I need to learn but would LOVE to become a vital part of this community. I do not know many coding languages, the main one I associate myself with is HTML(currently learning HTML5). Rainmeter seems like a very interesting language to learn, although the initial manual for it really doesn't give a good explanation of what each thing does. Hopefully there will be a nice overhaul to the manual which will give a better overall experience to new users who haven't been using Rainmeter since the early betas. Thanks for everyone reading, have a good one!
Regards,
Jake

Welcome to the community. :) You're starting out the way most of us did; I only knew a little HTML and PHP when I discovered Rainmeter. The nature of skins makes it pretty easy to learn through practice and experimentation, so the best advice I can give you is to get your hands dirty, and don't be afraid to ask questions.
As for the manual, you'll be glad to know that we are already working on a significant revision. :)
Awesome! Glad to hear that there is a good revision going around. I'm sure this will help all of us in our pursue to make the best possible skins. I'm surprised the forums are not more active then they are. I figured there would be loads of discussion regarding new ideas and comments on what other people have already made. Of course, I am a part of one of the largest technology sites on the web, so I shouldn't expect something that is not as widely used to be as popular as a basic technology website. Sometimes I feel like if I reply to to many topics it will make me look like I am trying to spam the forums, but rest assured that is not my intentions. So I will keep my activity to a nice crawl unless you don't mind me going hog wild.

Go nuts.. The only thing we ask is that folks don't join up and go grave digging.. Old posts are like sleeping dogs...
