Bringing you the Rain-Meter

Flickr by DigitalRicket

I was first introduced to the Enigma custom desktop theme back when Lifehacker posted up a ‘Most Popular Desktops of 2008’ thread.  Ever since then I couldn’t help but want to skin my own desktop to look as cool as Enigma. Well, now I can… and you can too. Rainmeter 1.0 is, as the site reads,

… a Windows customization application. Empower your dekstop with an expandable library of useful tools - handy notes and application launchers, weather and feeds from the web, system status and more. Then, rearrange and modify them to suit your personal style. With Rainmeter, your desktop is finally yours. 

Rainmeter offers themes for you to choose from, and Enigma happens to be one of them. The application is fully customizable, and the same goes for every single skin applied to every “widget” within Rainmeter. If that makes any sense. If you know your way around xml coding then you could make it work even better for you. But for the rest of you who aren’t that affluent in programming languages there is more than enough to hold you over:

System status icons, Wi-Fi status, Incoming E-mail, Calendar, Weather, Notes, Now Playing music feature, and  Twitter feed.
