(Previous version: bananorpion.deviantart.com/art… ) (There were enough modifications to justify a new post.)
A rainmeter suite based on the colors and font of The Matrix movie.

Included: - The rainmeter suite + the previous version + unused icons (for eventual modifications you would look into) + a Matrix screensaver + the wallpaper used

Description:

A fonctional rainmeter suite, with many skins.
Credits are given inside a text file in the skin, so I won't repeat here. I made them all by myself, except the Explorer skin, and the Gmail skin (I work with regular expressions on a daily basis, but something just didn't work..)
In detail:
    Battery = Displays the lifetime of the battery. Shows the percentage of remaining power, above remaining time, or whether the computer is mains powered. Turns red when power is below 50%. (Skin deactivated when power is above 95%, reactivated when it is below 80%, see Bar 4 skin.)
    Bar1 = Direct links to applications. Here: Waterfox \ Maxthon \ Notepad++ \ Prolog II
    Bar2 = Direct links to applications. Here: FileZilla \ EasyPHP \ Dropbox \ utorrent
    Bar3 = Direct links to applications. Here: Run \ Control Panel \ Task scheduler \ Planned shutdown
    Bar4 = Toggles various parts of the suite. From left to right: Toggle application bars skins / Toggle explorer skins / Toggle monitoring skins / Reset the suite. Very important skin, as it displays Battery, Cube and Playing skins when conditions are met (See the associated skins for more information).
    Bar5 = Direct links to files folder. Here: (Personal) \ Files \ Music \ Pictures \ Videos \ Games \ Downloads \ Bin. (Hover over the Bin button to see its size.)
    Bar6 = Direct links to applications. Here: Adobe Flash CS4 \ Microsoft Word \ Microsoft Excel \ Microsoft Powerpoint
    Bar7 = Direct links to applications. Here: Winamp \ VLC \ Audacity \ The Gimp
    Bar8 = Direct links to applications. Here: VirtualBox \ Daemon Tools Lite \ BlueStacks \ Skype
    Clock = Displays the hour, day, weekday, month and year. Toggles the uptime skin.
    CPU = Displays the evolution of the CPU for the last (Update*HFramesW) seconds. (Here: 1000s) Turns red when the CPU consommation rises above twenty percent. Click to toggle CPU details skin.
    CPUdetails = Shows the nine most CPU-consuming processes.
    Google = Converts the character strings into Google research.
    Explorer = Emulates a new windows files folder explorer, updated while you browse through it. Open files direcly from there.
    HDD = Shows the free disk space on each partition.
    Cube = Displays a badass spinning animated cube. (Not very CPU consuming.) Deactivated if CPU use rises above 20%, reactivated if it goes below. (Bar 4 skin.)
    Playing = Shows the title, artist, album, progression and duration of tracks played in the player (Currently: Winamp). Interactions possible. Skin activated when the player is detected, deactivated when it isn't, thanks to the Bar 4 skin.
    RAM = Shows the RAM used. The text turns red when the RAM consommation rises above sixty percent. Click to toggle RAM details skin.
    RAMdetails = Shows the nine most RAM-consuming processes.
    RecycleBin = Shows the number and total size of items in the bin. (Not used anymore in my suite.)
    Temp = Displays the evolution of the temperature for the last (Update*HFramesW) seconds. (Here: 1000s). Turns red when the temperature of a core rises above sixty celsius degrees. Click to open Core Temp.
    Uptime = Displays how much time went by since the computer was turned on.
    Volume = Displays the volume of the computer. Button features included.
    Wifi = Shows an estimation of the wifi quality, and download \ upload speeds.
    Misc = Displays three buttons: Help\Report a bug + Refresh Rainmeter + Close Rainmeter
    Gmail = Shows how many unread messages you have in your gmail inbox. Click to show details about the five latest unread messages.
    Gmaildetails = Shows details about five latest unread messages in your gmail inbox.

I tried to make everything the most clear possible, the structure of every skin is pretty much the same = Rainmeter, Metadata, Variables, Outlines, Measures, Meters. I commented what needed to be edited in order to be functional on your own computer.

I did everything I wanted to make, except a few bugs (listed in a text file). If you have some ideas, just tell me and I'll try to implement them. Otherwise, I think my work is done. \o (Next suite: Portal, but I've got a real job besides so it will wait a bit.)
Do what you want with my codes, just give me credit somehow.

Updated (10/03):
(EVERYTHING I "removed" is still in the code, I just left it in the comments.)
- Made the Cube independant from the Bar 4. (Spinning, spinning, spinning.. Enough.)
- Removed the color-changing feature from RAM.
- Volume and Playing volume are now handled by mouse-scrolling, I removed the buttons.
- Edited the font, so that most accentuated characters now appear as they should. (If you find some missing, ask me how to implement them.)
- Added Audio skin = Displays the audio output from the main audio device.
