Mass Effect Skinby ~darkstaruav

Customization / Skins & Themes / System Monitoring / Rainmeter

AUGUST 8TH UPDATE

I've hopefully fixed the weather now, but not positive. Also, the download and install size has been reduced by about 30%.

I don't think I'll be supporting this anymore, seeing as I haven't worked on it in a long time and the amount of work required for a nice major update would be too time consuming.

Remember, you can edit the skin and redistribute it, so long as you give credit where credit is due. The skins from both UrulokiBurning and RickF7666 are both based on this, and they both look great. MOD YOUR SKINS AND SHARE

You will need a program called CoreTemp for the temperature display to work properly.

Other things you may need
You will need Rainmeter to run this skin. You can download Rainmeter from [link]

To properly display the temperature gauge in the older skin, you will need Speedfan [link]

Make sure to change the weather code to your location. If you need help [link]

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE WALLPAPERS HERE [link]

Possible bugs and errors
A word of caution, this was developed in Vista 32 bit, but has been tested and shown working in 32 bit and 64 bit Vista/7 systems (I'm not sure about XP). However, I have had a lot of complaints about bugs. I've never taken any programming in my life, I only know what I have self taught. I know for a fact the RSS reader included is screwed up.

Making the Launcher work
You need to specify your own program paths for the app Launcher. The Launcher skin has been reworked and now includes an EDIT button. Clicking the button opens a text file that can now be used to change the name that appears for the App and the Application path.

I accidently changed something in the settings for the app launcher.... I don't know what was written there. it was the part where it says LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute, I changed it to see if something would work, but I have no idea what I'm doing.

~darkstaruav May 5, 2013

After the 'execute' command rainmeter will do whatever you tell it to, which in this case is typically to launch a program or open a folder. You can check rainmeter.net for more information.

So, how do I use this for my rainmeter? New and confused

~darkstaruav Apr 16, 2013

Once you have Rainmeter installed, download the skin and unpack it to your Rainmeter skins folder. You can load and unload individual skins by right clicking on exisiting skins or using RainBrowser. Check Rainmeter.net for better documentation on how to get started using Rainmeter.

Having trouble with the temp... I am so not computer savvy

~darkstaruav Feb 12, 2013

Read the description, then post a more specific question if you have it.

~serpantscaLe Jan 2, 2013

I downloaded the file but when I double-click it to install, it says it's an invalid package. Can anyone help out?

~kuraix Jan 1, 2013

Hello, amazing theme! It's a little narrow horizontally for my 4:3 monitor, maybe I'll have to change that. Either way, I'm wondering about the temp thingy, since you mentioned you need Core Temp in the description, but you ask for a SpeedFan plugin in the skin config!
Could you tell me what to do for it to work?

BTW: What do you think is better? Dreamscape playing a movie on the background or simply a gif image?
