Ciysco submitted this customized desktop to our Desktop Showcase, and we love it. Good wallpaper, faded app launcher in the corner, and a visualizer. It looks sharp—here’s how you can make it your own.
First of all, Ciysco is using Rainmeter to get this effect, in Windows 7. If you’re not familiar with it, check out our getting started guide for Rainmeter to see what it’s capable of.
- The wallpaper
- The Shine 2.0 theme for Windows
- The Rainmeter system tweaking and monitoring tool for Windows
- The Muziko skin for Rainmeter for the music player
- The Color Flow skin for Rainmeter for the time and date display in the center
- The Simple Recycle Bin to customize the recycle bin in the lower right corner
- Fences to organize the desktop items
The icons are mostly my own edits of icons from the web, but some come from this Reddit post.I’m providing a download link for all the icons together here (zip file from Dropbox).
