Port To Rainmeter by DarknesFreak
Her is my latest work, I liked the original design of the Litestep them created by x-spirit,but the problem was that i hated using LiteStep So i said why not port it to rainmeter and so i did of course i added some modification to the original design, people who are familiar or used the LiteStep them by x-spirit will see the difference, i wasn't planing on sharing this theme i kind of made it for my self, and than i changed my mind so i hope you like it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
thanks to for letting me port it to rainmeter and for the help
her is the original LiteStep theme fav.me/d3hw4ur
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pack include :Rmskin for easy install
Collection of wallpapers that go well with this skin ( wallpapers in the preview are included to )
ohh My next theme will be in futuristic high tech style i will add a preview in the next few days.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to use this theme in a good way do this
- Click on the rainmeter icon in the try section
- Choose Edit Settings
- Under the Rainmeter section in the config text file on top Write this DesktopWorkArea=0,60,1440,900
where the 1440 and the 900 are the resolution of my screen you have to set them up to your screen resolution for this to work
and the 60 is the distance which will be saved for the bar, that way the skin will always be visible
refer to this for more info rainmeter.net/cms/Settings-Rai…

Sorry for the double post, I am not sure how to edit my other comment so I added this one. I had one question, on the screenshots you posted it looks absolutely stunning, and it is almost the same on mine, except instead of it being 60px tall it is at least 120px tall and I am not sure how to make it smaller. It looks rather bad being so tall. Do you or anyone else know of a possible solution, please? I love this, but taking up so much height looks bad. Thank you

Hi
Really great work, but I want to do some editing.
I want all those information popups to appear above the bar (they appear below, which i dont want since i am using this bar as my taskbar.)
So please tell me how to do this.
I tried editting coordinates but the things disappear above bar.
Please help.

unfortunately you can't do that if you try to touch anything you will mess everything up as everything is connected unless you're an expert in rainmeter scripting language, and you know what you're doing

actually, i know that much. Have a look at my editting of this bar->
nonamehuman.deviantart.com/art…

May I ask how you were able to make the 'Windows 7', 'Icarus', 'Cronus' and 'Music and Files' show up? Mine are all blue bars with no title despite changing the disks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
open the skin config file and change these
Disk1=C:
Disk2
Disk3=E:
Disk4=F:
if it doesn't work you should name your HDD's if that also doesn't work than there is something wrong with your computer

Hi! This theme is absolutely wonderful!
If you have time, could you help me resolve a small issue?
I got everything to work without problems except for the emails. I'm not on gmail, I'm on outlook (the new version of hotmail). I had no problems changing the links so when I click on the "you have mail" it takes me on the right page. The only issue I have is that it doesn't seem to display the number of emails I have. It only say "You have Email" without any numbers. Is there something I should change?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As far as I know, there is currently no way to make a skin that can deal with Hotmail. WebParser does not provide any way to support cookies or other authentication, and so the only sites it can parse are ones that are either public, or can be accessed with what is called "http authentication", where you pass the login information on the URL like "[link] ". Gmail currently supports this in their atom feed for your email account, but other email systems like Yahoo and Hotmail do not.

Hey there, it seems like I'm having the same problem as a lot of people, configuring the icons at the top.
I found the file, but what am I supposed to open it with, Notepad?
Any help is much appreciated~

anyone else with the bar-too-tall issue:
Find the below after the big "####Meters Start from Her####" separator:
[Background]
Meter=IMAGE
ImageName=taskbar2.png
X=0
Y=0
W=#SCREENAREAWIDTH#
AntiAlias=1
Add:
H=60
Fixed!
