In general sites like DeviantART or Customize.org are a great resource for getting new skins for Rainmeter. Some of the most creative work by skin authors is distributed there, and we recommend that you browse through them looking for skins that meet your needs.
However, on both of these sites, there are from time to time a rash of Rainmeter skins posted which are copies of existing skins, and are infected with a virus or malware. Do not download any skins which have comments disabled or any “hidden” comments!
The Rainmeter team works closely with the staff on these sites, and great effort is made to ensure that all skins posted on them are safe. These are large sites with a somewhat slow turnaround time however, so please protect yourself as well. Read the comments for any skin you are considering downloading and installing. Again, if comments are “hidden” or “disabled”, be aware, this is suspect. Do not download that skin. In addition, Rainmeter skins are never distributed as an executable like "install.exe". They are .rmskin (Rainmeter skin format) or .zip/.rar archive files. Do not run any executable claiming to install the skin.
