Desktop Customization Tutorial
May 28th
Following are the ingredients used in the making of the Kill Lois desktop. For ease I’ve put them in the order of installation. A brief description is also given if required. For rainmeter skin editing or any other queries please contact me through email: indigoanalysis@gmail.com
1. Rainmeter – skins: Identity (edited the size of fonts and deleted unnecessary graphics, the skin is an interactive winamp control), Yboris (first install the font in the pack, the theme displays time and date etc), Enigma (I used only the system stats meter, many other great skins in enigma), Supercolossal (needs a litte editing to change the font, displays the time and winamp stats when running winamp).
Rainmeter is the software used and it needs to be installed with various skins to utilize its full potential. The skins are easily customizable in the edit skin menu through notepad.
note: After installing themes please restart rainmeter and after editing a theme use refresh all.
2. Rocket dock – docklet: stacks docklet, skin: pre-installed blank theme
docklets and skins can easily be installed in the rocket dock respective directories. After installing a docklet do not forget to restart rocket dock. To use docklet, right click the rocket dock and select add item>”stacks docklet”. Then go to the icon properties of the docklet for settings.
3. The Kill Lois wallpaper
4. Uxpatcher (To patch windows dll to allow other themes). Easy installation
5. MakkiX and MaggraX theme. Only works when you have the uxpatcher installed.
6. Fences (optional) – Helps to sort desktop icons and make hem visible/invisible at a doubleclick/esc on the desktop.
7. Boot skin(optional) – Depends if you want to customise your boot skin.
