Your Customized Desktop!

Well .. , I am a huge fan of some dark awesome wall papers..and gizmo gadgets like the ones used in Iron Man! ...well that got me thinking and then I decided to have a little fun getting a new cool desktop customization app called the RainMeter!
My Desktop

So if you love the look of it, or if you want it for yourself, you just have to follow the following steps and make sure you dont miss any of them.

STEP I:  
Choose a good old theme for your desktop.Here it is Dark Gizmology( yup that is my own term guys and girls )
I chose this one !

Step II:
Download The RocketDock from Punk Labs.


Step III:
Download the MAC OSX Carbon Theme for RocketDock.

STEP IV:
Now download RainMeter,a system monitor and customization utility for Windows.

STEP V:
Download the Lifeless Theme for RainMeter.

Well, now you have all the things that you need. I guess its time to start working the things out.
Understanding the use of RocketDock is easy enough, and they give you directions on installing the new theme.Make sure that you don't change its settings too much, I had to get rid of it 4 times before I decided not to mess around with the layering.

Now the tricky part is using the RainMeter! It might seem difficult at first, so my suggestion would be to read the User Guide first! :)
As per request, i had to work to find out if this was possible in MAC OS. Well guys Rainmeter won't work for the MAC users so i have taken the liberty to include a replacement software the GeekTool. Although it is not as accurate( i tried it on my other laptop and it worked fine), achieving this degree of detail MAY not be possible.

Add remove anything you want, as informative or as stylish as it can get !
All the Best :D

Hope to see your desktops sometime.Have a good day!
