Where do i get those badass CPU monitor and system info wallpapers?!?!

[Achilles(SG)]

I see a lot of people who have these backgrounds that display all kinds of system information and they look really "futuristic" and awesome, does anyone know where those come from???

All I know you can add widgets to your desktop which can display such info, but personally I haven't met such interative wallpapers.

You probably mean Rainmeter.

This skin is very used, and the website (customize.org) is probably the best resource for Rainmeter skins.

widgets are no longer adviced by microsoft as they are potential malware backdoors.

I found the rainmeter ones which is what i wanted, but i cant figure out how to activate them???

It's been a while since I've used Rainmeter, but this seems to cover it: http://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/installing-skins
It's really easy to use, you can even change the variables and tweak some skin to be just like you want it.

Ya, i got everything working, but due to my clutter of icons most of the skins become useless. Ill have to wait for triple monitors to move my icons and have the skins on my main

I love this program.

But I run a real minimal setup. Just a clock/date, outside tempeture forecast, CPU & Mem usage and a speedfan widget.

Why don't you move your icons to a skin that organizes them? Or get them off the desktop?

[Achilles(SG)]

Well how would i get them off the desktop without having to go into my directory every time i wanna open something?

How many icons do you have? Are they files? If they're files they should get organized into folders for proper storage and organization.

There are plenty of Rainmeter options that will put the icons into the theme.
