Although some people are completely satisfied with the default Windows desktop interface, for others, customization is a must. Rainmeter (32-bit) is an attractive way to view system performance and a variety of other useful information--e-mail, weather, RSS feeds, and much more--right on the desktop. Casual users should beware, however; although it's not difficult to get started with Rainmeter, learning to fully utilize its features will take some time and geekery.
The program comes with two different themes, Enigma and Gnometer. Both of these are modular, transparent, and highly customizable. There is a wide variety of other themes around the Internet--an enthusiastic community of Rainmeter fans keeps them coming--so users who aren't crazy about Enigma and Gnometer can easily find other options. Features vary from theme to theme, but some common ones we came across include shortcuts to frequently used programs, clocks, calendars, notes, and news stories.
Each theme can be reconfigured in a wide variety of ways, as each individual module can be dragged and dropped anywhere on the screen. All this flexibility is great for the hard-core Rainmeter user, but new users should expect a lot of trial and error, as the program definitely isn't as intuitive as it could be. The program comes with quite a bit of documentation, but even that doesn't really begin to describe what Rainmeter is capable of or how to use it.
Overall, we think that Rainmeter is a great choice for users who like to geek out over customizing their desktops, but users who are looking for something that's easy and low maintenance will be frustrated and disappointed. Rainmeter (32-bit) is free. It installs and uninstalls without issues, and we recommend this program to serious desktop customizers.

A few notes: - The Author= entry is too long, so Rainstaller is not displaying it properly - When installing skins with Rainstaller, the previous folder in Rainmeter Skins is deleted. So if you install the Gmail skin first, then the uTorrent skin, Gnometer will backup and get rid of Rainmeter Skins Dynamix, and then install the uTorrent skin (and you won't have the Gmail skin anymore). To get around this, add Merge=1 AND MinRainmeterVer=1.2.417 to Rainstaller.cfg - You could also add something like this to automatically launch skin after install: LaunchType=Load LaunchCommand=Gnometer Welcome Welcome.ini. You can either: - Create a theme with RainThemes (right-click Rainmeter ->Themes ->Manage Themes). You should make the theme compatible with all screen resolutions by using variables such as #SCREENAREAWIDTH# and use LaunchCommand=Theme to load that theme (read manual, start menu ->Rainmeter ->Rainstaller Help). Also take a look at the default Gnometer/Engima themes. - Use LaunchCommand=Load and LaunchCommand=blaa config1.ini sdas config2.ini etc.
Rainstaller/Rainmeter will detect and make the changes automatically. But you should remove that part anyway.
