scottfree1 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Rainmeter rules my second monitor, if I was using a single monitor probably wouldn't be using it.. http://scottfree1.deviantart.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to know 5 months later! I've had a few people recommend this, will probably give it a go once I switch to Win 10 on my main machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anibal P Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Too busy actually using my computer and screens to waste space and resources in this, there hasn't been a "need"for it since XP IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragontology Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I used it ages ago. Then a couple years ago on Android, I discovered Zooper, and then KLWP. Similar programs. Zooper made widgets, and KLWP made live wallpapers. A lot of similar concepts, though. But I think they were a bit more straightforward and easy to configure. I remember one or both having a ton of templates, it was super easy to get what you wanted. Only the really complex stuff required a bit of leg work. The idea that I could have that on Windows (I've since moved to an iPhone, and iOS doesn't have anything like that) is kind of intriguing. Especially since live tiles suck (they don't work for me). I also don't clutter my desktop with icons (I've made pretty intelligent use of my Start menu, if I do say so myself). goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Since I gave up desktop modding back in the day, Rainmeter is the only program still being used. At the moment I use it as a live clock, calendar en temp monitor. It does the job without using too much resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much this. I modded the hell out of Windows XP. Windows xp was an ugly looking os imo. But now i'm happy with the way windows 10 looks. I hope there would be more consistency with the way store apps look and i wish live tiles would be more useful but outside of that it's fine without modding.

I don't see why the desktop could not be the start screen. I hate having to press my windows key to bring my live tiles up instead of just looking at my 2nd monitor when this one is free of any windows. With the desktop and the start screen merged the windows key would be used to bring the desktop to front. Edited September 12, 2017 by LaP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
