I can't quite remember the link, but I do have the files which still have the name in them. I can host them for you, if you'd like.

Thanks :) I know they were called Suave_for_Win, I just didn't have the link. The guy basically took the template from the suave icons and combined them with the Token icons. Pure genius, it turned out marvelously.

If anyone interested in my mpc hc hack: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/931044-mpc-hc-seekbar-volumebar-hack

It is not perfect, but looks better than that old win98ish design.

Here, as promised. I decided to be respectful to the copyright owners, I would post direct links to all the different Rainmeter skins I used. I only really changed around the colors and icons on 1 or two skins. This is to recreate my screenshot a few posts back.

Here we go :).

Rainmeter Configs:

• Left Bar File List: http://browse.devian...meter/#/d2qbg7x
• Gmail Indicator: http://browse.devian...meter/#/d2qbg7x (yes, from the same pack)
• Drive Indicators + Sys Info/Uptime: http://minhtrimatrix...t.com/#/d2v85z2
• Word Clock: http://browse.devian...der=15#/d2u5p9w
• ~~~~Note, the above is just the word clock. It doesn't include the analog clock behind it. If you're interested in that, all I did was take the default Rainmeter "Arc" clock and put it behind the WordClock, and dropped the opacity of the Arc. If you need help doing this, let me know.
• Weather: http://vclouds.devia...ather-161949569
• ~~~~ If you want it to look like mine, edit the config with a proper editor (I used Notepad ++) and Find and replace all instances of the font with the font of your choice)
• Corner Calender: http://browse.devian...lendar#/d2uxcox
• ~~~~ The above calender ONLY works in the right-hand top corner. It's made out of image files, not text, and therefore, is formatted that way :(

Icons & Misc

• Taskbar Icons: http://nullf.deviant...%3Avancaem&qo=1 & http://nullf.deviant...x_age%3A8h&qo=1
  
• Start Button: http://robot-r0ck.de...ge%3A744h&qo=20 (It's not the same as my screenshot, but I found this one more recently and found that it matches perfectly size-wise with the taskbar icons)
• CD Art Display: http://jazzava.devia...Popup-104948617
• Visual Style: http://browse.devian...style/#/d2drshp (it's very easy to apply, and requires no taking ownership/replacing files)
• Wallpaper: http://digitalshiva.deviantart.com/art/Flavoured-121784194 (Pick your favorite gradient)

And finally, just a quick note on the Taskbar Icons. The easiest way I've found for doing it is here:

1. Remove/Unpin it from the taskbar completely.
2. Find the program through your start menu (example, firefox)
3. Right-Click and drag to your Desktop to create a Shortcut.
4. Rename the Shortcut as the title of the program.
5. Right click the shortcut, Properties>Shortcut>Change Icon
6. Click Apply
7. Now, drag it back on to the taskbar and pin it.
8. You may delete the shortcut off the desktop now.

This way is much easier than right-clicking on icons directly on the taskbar, because I found to get them to refresh properly, I'd have to kill explorer.exe and restart the process.

Enjoy guys :)
