My flatmate has used Rainmeter for years, but being blinded by the petty "I don't want more processes running cuz I'm a gamer rawr" mantra I've never used it. Thankfully I've seen the light now and I'm loving it!
Anyway, I followed the standard 'I'm a newb so I'm going to install Enigma' route, plus its minimal aesthetic is goregous
Just looking for a bit of input for my desktop:

# 1: How the hell do you get the very thin white/grey bar running across the top of the taskbar to the bottom of it, like it is on the DA screenshot for Engima? I've dug around various ini's and so forth changing likely candidates around, but I've not hit on the answer yet!
# 2: My desktop looks a bit naked except for the bar running across the top, but I can't think what to add, as I have all I need. Even when I had a taskbar I rarely used the shortcuts usually opting for the 'hit the windows key and type the program name' route, so a dock would be a waste. Any suggestions for widgets(? if thats the name) that make good focal points without being OTT.
Basically I'm an outsider so I don't know the definitive plugins. Tapping 'polar clock rainmeter' into Google brings endless results. But I assume the crowd on these forums know the better widgets in each category, and that's generally what I'm looking for.
Finally, by day I'm a PhD researcher in parallel and scientific computing using Erlang and C, so I'm happy to get down and dirty with the code if required.
Much love
