Description
=====UPDATE=====UPDATE=====UPDATE 3/26/2020Hello again. First I would like to thank everyone who downloaded my Spaceship Cockpit screenshot as a wallpaper. After some changes and tweaking I submit for your approval Cockpit 1.0.
Outside of the buttons, all of the images I found here or in image search and would like to thank all of the original artists for their hard work. Thank you to 99Villages for the inspiration for my rocket launchers and Media Player. Thank you VClouds for the Weather Skin (my favorite as you can tell). This is also my first attempt at an animated skin (the target). I hope you like it.
The skins in this rmskin package are:
2 sets of launchers, Rocket and Orbs. The Orbs are by Tomtom5893. Thank You.
Digital Clock
Google Launcher
CPU Meters by ero9007
Recycle Bin and Biohazard Recycle
Neon Space Media Player (I added a button to open the media player and up and down arrows to adjust the media player volume)
Main Volume Slider
Main Computer, HDD Buttons, 2 USB Buttons, Images, Documents, Downloads, Rainmeter skins and control Panel buttons
Targets(2 styles and animated)
and VClouds Weather (Open Weather folder then click on User Variables. At the top where it says Location Code= enter old weather code like USAB1234 as an example, your zip code or
that long weather code at the end of the Your City url. from Weather.com. Click save then refresh skin. That is all you need to get new skin to work).
Also included are 3 wallpapers and the cockpit .png image so you can make your own wallpapers in photo shop or use with wallpapers of your choice.
Don't forget to install the fonts!
UPDATE 3/26/2020
Updated VClouds Weather
New Launchers
New Radar Google Launcher
Added a few more Buttons
Added some blinking lights

Hey oldcrow10, I love this whole set-up. But, as I'm new to this whole Rainmeter thing, there are some things I don't understand. First, I was able to load the cockpit but it's way too big for my screen. Please tell me how to minimize it to fit my screen. I have a 19" screen with 1280x1024 resolution. Also, you said that you included 3 wallpapers. I can't seem to find them after I've run the cockpit rms installer. And, one last thing (I hope), you said to not forget to install the fonts. Well, when I ran the installer there is an advanced button to click on which brings a drop down menu with a box to check to install fonts. But, it won't let you check the box to install the fonts. Now, I'm not sure what that's supposed to be. I don't mind the fonts that are on there now. Are there other fonts to choose from. If so, I don't know where to find them. Again, thanks much for this beautiful desktop customization!! Please treat me like an extreme beginner and give overly descriptive instructions, please. Spell it out like I'm a 5 year old (LOL).

I'm glad you like this theme. To resize the wallpaper try Photoshop to down size from1920x1080 to fit your screen. Or crop the wallpaper if you can when you view it in your image folder. To find the fonts and extra wallpaper, open your documents, click on rainmeter, click skins, click Cockpit 1.0, then click on resources. You will find the fonts and wallpaper there. Good luck and let me know if this helps you.

Okay, I found everything. BUT, please instruct me on how to INSTALL the fonts. I have no idea how to do that. Thanx, in advance, my friend!

Left click each font to open then left click on the install. That's all there is to it.

Okay, my friend. I was able to install the fonts per your instructions. Thanx much for your instructions. I'm, now, starting to set-up my desktop almost as a carbon copy of your example, above.

Great! Have fun playing with it. It's a good way to learn the coding and how things work.

One more question. The WMP player. I know that there are other skins that have ways to hook up their "players" to play Spotify or other music programs. Is there a way to program your player to play Spotify? Or is it simply for use with Windows Media Player? I'd like to be able to play Spotify as I have no music in my music library. I don't even use WMP. Thanks! Everything else works perfect!

This player is a WMP player only. It is based on 99Villages player in the "Neon Space" skins. I don't remember if they can play "Spotify" or not. I only use WMP myself.
