Quote:Â For some background, this is my first Rainmeter skin. I basically learned (or attempted to learn) Rainmeter while creating this, so things may be done inefficiently. Having said that, I created this skin as a project to keep me busy until FFXIV release. I did have fun making this, so I may piddle with it more in the future.
Everything that needs to be configured should be able to be set up through the @Resources\include.inc file. This skin does also come packaged with a layout, which will load the skins in the proper configuration on your desktop.

this looks cool, I just tried to DL from the link, but I just get a black try searching for something else page. am I missing something? I really kind of want this as a fun desktop(and to see how many times I wake up and turn on my PC and try to start playing without starting the game.)
