Rainmeterhub Wallpapers?

Post by Truffy »

I love to go on rainmeterhub a lot to check if they have any new skins. But with the skins that they are showing, they usually have really nice wallpapers. Anyone know where I can find them? Thanks.

Unless there is some way to post a comment on the submission there, or some other way to contact the author of the skin, asking where they got the wallpaper they are using, the only other hope is something like:

https://www.tineye.com/

If you go to one of the submissions on RainmeterHub, like http://rainmeterhub.com/skins/gameview-2/, then right click the image and "Copy image URL", you can paste that into TinEye and see if it can find a match to the underlying wallpaper. In this example it returns https://www.tineye.com/search/2a099697662915ef59bbdb58353200e38ed729b3/, which does have some hits for the wallpaper.

To be honest, most of the time this will fail, as the Rainmeter skins on top of the wallpaper will confuse TinEye, but it's worth a try.

i prefer Google Image Search for better results.

install this Chrome extension:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/search-by-image-by-google/dajedkncpodkggklbegccjpmnglmnflm?hl=en

after that you get an entry in your context menu when you right-click an image in Chrome (also works with Yandex.Browser)

Yeah, that works nice. Probably better than TinEye, which I think has seen better days. Certainly it is going to lose any head-to-head with the amount of stuff that Google has indexed.

Not sure about the commie browser though... isn't that owned by this guy?

Yandex.Browser is pretty good. best omnibar of all browsers, imho. and i prefer how it does translations compared to Chrome.

Best way to find where it is from is to save the image to your computer and then upload it for a search using Google Images. ;-)
