Virtual Customs Animated Flames Rainmeter..

[HammerJack]

This set may be too hot for some viewers. Ask your parents before viewing the video, lol...
Each time I open up rainmeter I find something cool, or new to do with it.
This skin pack started awhile back, made some updates, plus added a bunch of cool new stuff as well.
There's lots of fire, lot's of animation. Actually it may not be suitable for some CPU's, hehe..
-----
What's new is the animated flames that I added behind the Logo, and in the selection of backgrounds for the framed skins.
Plus I added the animated Logo to the selection of backgrounds for the framed style skins.

This set is called 'Virtual Customs Animated Flames Rainmeter'.

** Introducing the 'Xtreme Team'.. Many thanks guys.. **
We have to thank Mark (Mr Grim) for an awesome forum. After all, this skin pack is named after it, hehe..
Special Thanks to Anthony ( ONE MAN ARMY ) for creating the .gif that was used to make the animated Logo. Awesome work bud..
Credit goes out to Greg (gsw953) & Donald (deviantdon) for all the input & inspiration which got me started using Rainmeter in the first place.
And thank you John (cybacreep) for a very cool wallpaper.

What we have is a skin pack with 5 skins included..
Animated Logo, CPU, Network, Weather, & RSS Feeds.
The feature skin is an animated skin that displays a series of images as if it were an actual .gif file.
2 of the skins are a horizontal frame style, and 2 more are a vertical frame style..
And all of the skins feature a pop up 'Config Tool' that allows you to edit the variables directly from the desktop.

Don't let my color scheme that you see above, fool ya.
These are so - so customizable to match your own color setup.

Just a fews of the main features. (Complete details, instructions & screens are included in the download....)
- All skins have the Config tool feature which allows you to make edits from an easy to use pop up window instead of making edits to the .ini file. Just click somewhere on the frame and when you see the cursor change to a hand, double click. (Sometimes there is a delay before the config tool pops up.) From this window you will see many options to choose from. This allows you to change variables directly from the desktop. Variables such as the animated logo color, animated flames color & opacity, frame colors, background, background colors, font, font size, font color, font case, font style, plus many more options to choose from. Just play with all the options in the 'Config tool' until you break something, lol..

-Each skin pack is now available in an easy to install 'Skin Packager'. Installing a skin in the Rainmeter Skin Installer (.rmskin) format is easy. Just double-click the '.rmskin' file (green Rainmeter icon if Rainmeter is already installed) to open the package with Rainmeter's built-in Skin Installer, and follow the instructions like you did when you installed Rainmeter. The skins and the wallpaper seen in the video will be loaded automatically after installing. **NOTE** You have to have Rainmeter already installed for the skin pack to load/run. The pack contents are typically unpacked here: Windows 8/7/Vista: C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins folder..

Ya man, it's hot alright, lol.
Don't let the screen shots fool ya though. You can color these skins to match any desktop you have going at the moment. You don't necessarily have to change your setup to my color scheme shown above..
Thanks for the feedback, enjoy.

[HammerJack]

Man you been busy just outstanding giving this a go now thanks jack

:tu:




Thanks John, didn't know you were a RM fan.. Cool..
Now did you see your wallpaper in the video?

[Lamia]

Interesting... my pc will be completly gleechy if i apply this kind of settings! :ashamed:

[razorsedge]

this is some really cool stuff bud I usually like a clean desktop but watching the vid has made me really consider this and looking into more lol

I do have one question for ya cause I read through the whole post and you show me all I needed to know and who did everything except one thing who is singing those tunes your playin cause I want em who is the singer and what album is that lol

really good work bud I have to say thats a cool lookin desktop :)

LMAO, wouldn't you know it. I tried hard not to forget someone and every time it happens lol.. It's by accident, not on purpose.
Good eye my friend, or should I say "good ear"?
The tunes are by Richie Sambora, of the Bon Jovi clan. He was/is the lead guitarist I believe. Some of his most notable work is done solo in my opinion.. I have most of his stuff saved so if your interested, I can attach them here, or in a PM. You probably know very well how to find stuff on the web as well.
Thanks for the comments, glad you posted. And ya, I don't like too much clutter on the desk also. Nice thing about this kind of RM is you can mix & match. Sometimes I just want 1, or 2 skins running at a time.

[cybacreep]

Thanks John, didn't know you were a RM fan.. Cool..
Now did you see your wallpaper in the video?


You made the wallpaper look outstanding thanks hammer
Your video i could put on video hits would send some rep but have to spread around

again great work bud lol

[HammerJack]

You made the wallpaper look outstanding thanks hammer

I made one of the two walls in the video. You made the other one. Maybe you didn't watch till the end, dunno
Your is in there, but towards the end of the video..
Thanks again for the comments. Much appreciated.

[HammerJack]

Man, you sound alot like me. You must be of the elder clan also, lol

Dang, 300 gb of music is alot. Maybe I'll just hit you up next time I'm looking for an old classic.. As a matter of fact there is one drummer I'd love to find on digital again. My old disk's are ruined.. You ever heard of Joe Vitalie? (Might be spelled 'Vitaly') He was a drummer for Joe Walsh way back, did some of his own stuff..
Anyways thanks again for the comeback..
