Thanks !

I've done a little update this morning, with among others new Hands for the Pocket Watch, in a more real/less digital style...

[Tatenokai]

Thanks again !

I've done an update with new resolutions availables, and some other things.

I dont know if the bigger resolutions have still a good compatibility with the theme, please tell me if you have problems with it.

Best theme I have seen in 10 years of on/off using of rainmeter!

One quick question how can you add the Month name to the title of the calendar?

[Tatenokai]

Thanks !
But honestly I saw many other themes which are way better than mine.

One quick question how can you add the Month name to the title of the calendar?

Remplace the old calendar by this one I just made :

It should work.

Thank you for the quick response, changed the code slightly and it is working great!

Code: Select all

[MeasureMonth]
Measure=Time
Format="%B"
[MeterMonth]
MeasureName=MeasureMonth
Meter=STRING
H=12
X=65
Y=6
FontColor=0,0,0,255
FontSize=12
FontFace=Trebuchet MS
StringAlign=LEFT
StringStyle=BOLD
AntiAlias=1

Keep up the good work

No problem, feel free to modify these skins as you like

I have updated the 1.5 Version, with a news page layout. http://tatenokai.deviantart.com/art/Newspaper-Desktop-1-5-198008273
I think I'm finally satisfied with this version.

Dont hesitate to tell me what you think about it

WOW! i love this skin! but it doesn't have a music player (with cover and play/pause button).. can you help me?

Edit the wallpaper & replace a photo with a player skin? An angled one (not 90 degrees) might be cool...

This looks amazing.

Alright, some feedback.
-You spelled replace wrong in the ReadMe.
-You could use a notes skin (not hard for a user to create though)
-Took a bit of time to arrange everything perfectly for my resolution (1280x800) but totally worth it.
-Change LeftMouseDownAction= to LeftMouseUpAction= in applicable skins (Gmail, Weather, etc, so it's draggable)
-Not liking the 'Personal Windows Desktop' text (Also, phone numbers and such at the bottom)

And a few suggestions that are more than unnecessary:
-Around like 6pm have a skin appear that has like an 'Evening Edition' text near 'Daily News'
-Have the coffee cup slowly empty, then refill, then slowly empty after some interval of time. (Sounds included?)
-Have the cigarrette slowly be smoked away (Not animation, but like the image would be replaced by a partially smoked one, etc. A bit harder than the coffee due to the background.)

If anyone has seen Requiem for a Dream like how the mother drinks the coffee if you could imagine. (Similar to: this)
