I’ve always despised trying to theme my Windows desktops into a sleek and sexy looking console. It always seems like for the most part I’d have to install some software, which may or may not overwrite some system files. In the past, when I did try to theme my desktop there was always a deal breaker. For instance, a program like Photoshop which I use extensively would inherit parts of the theme ending up as a mess and difficult to use. I didn’t mind Windows Gadgets too much, but it always seemed like the rest of my Windows environment shunned their existence. It wasn’t until coming across a post on LifeHacker that I found out about a little platform called Rainmeter.
