Reader ravenclawwit is no stranger to our featured desktop series, and submitted this beautiful setup to our Desktop Showcase a few weeks ago. It looks great, from top to bottom, and is pretty heavily personalized. It also has a little secret.
First thing’s first—ravenclawwit made this setup with Rainmeter, so that’s what you’ll need if you want to make it yours. If you’re not familiar with Rainmeter, check out our getting started guide here.

- The Cleartext skin for Rainmeter for the Now Playing widget
- The CircuitousTwo suite of skins for Rainmeter for the system monitors
