Starting to get the rainmeter skins set up how I like them. I ended up just using the HWiNFO 1.0 skin, and an older version of HWiNFO. for some reason the newer ones weren't working for me.

I still feel like it needs a little "oomph" though. I may end up making a custom wallpaper to get the theme I'm going for just right

Surprised I already had part of it posted from the old forum. Thread is here: http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/3959-pearl-night-theme-for-wmc/?hl=%2Bpearl+%2Bnight

 

Though in the screen you quoted there's a few changes, using these customized fonts, and this wallpaper. I believe there might have been more to it, but im not positive, here's my entire MC theme folder I was using you can pick through. Should have everything in there. https://www.mediafire.com/?mdyfyqk3xrits3v

 

The game icons in the screen were from my old glide set, whioch is still around but only has like 13? or so consoles, the newer MBT set is very similar and has all 43 consoles that you can use in gamebrowser. Still haven't fixed the links yet on this forum so you'd have to get them off my site here http://shaefurr.wix.com/mb3fanart#!fanart/c1z1f

I've updated my desktop a little bit. Now I've got it set up 90% how I want it. I still feel like it needs a little tweaking here and there, but this is basically the final product.

 

I've included two images to show how the Spoitfy app, and system uptime fades in/out on mouseover so the screen doesn't look too cluttered all the time.

I've created an easy to install skin package for rainmeter that includes everything you need for this layout, if any one's interested PM me.

I'm still using Windows 7, but plan on updating to 10 when it becomes available. Of course, no sidebar from 8 onwards so figured it was about time I stopped using gadgets and started using something else for displaying my info.

 

I liked the look of the Circuitious 2 theme but I've modded it for my own purposes. It wasn't supposed to turn out all Tron like ... but it did. :P I have 100's of wallpapers rotating every few minutes but doesn't look too bad when the Tron wallpaper is up.

 

Oh, and I use dual screens and two instances of Rocketdock.

Think I change my wallpaper too often :P Using nvidia DSR scaling to run at 2715x1527 for more screen real estate.

Update: The 2 movie posters rotate between all of the folders on my HTPC - by clicking on the MB3 logo it will launch into the web browser

Well, how could I not change the wallpaper to go with the windows 10 launch.

 

EDIT: modified a bit, added some lighting to the characters and badge

thank you,im also installing a wireless router in trunk.i have plugs in good spots and can power it up as well. It takes awhile because im mouting a galaxy tab as second head unit to run media thru and also using 2 more as headrest monitors

for backseat.the wiring is the biggest challenge,i have to use 2 dry cell,or maybe 3 because of the power system pulls so i dont blow up battery.also having alternator respun for more output. its still a good 6 months till its finished.

look into kinetik brand car batteries.  they are more like capacitors than batteries.  specifically made for high end audio systems with high draw

Haven't really changed mine much, I've got my rainmeter theme to a point where I really like the layout, and everything seems to flow pretty naturally for me. All I've done is changed the color, and made some small tweaks here and there since my last post in here.56568aa23d71a_Desktop.jpg

Love that MSI dragon. I got rid of half my rainmeter skins since they just took up too much room, I like that weather one you have though, might add that one.

Changed again, using a new rainmeter set I modified and added GPU support for. Had to change all the CPU plugin data to Coretemp since I don't like using Speedfan (it was throwing out weird CPU temps, like core 4 was always at 127C) :P Also changed all the labels so it pulls the GPU/CPU names and Mhz automatically rather than just saying "processor".
