Blue Overview

[PantherX]

I was recently introduced to Rainmeter and really love it. I decided to combine skins from different suites and tweaked them into a single suite. Hope you like it as this is my first attempt

Additional Applications:
Below is the list of applications that are needed to ensure that all components of the skin work properly. Do note that if any application is not installed, the skin will have missing data but will not cause any issues or system instabilities.

Core Temp ([link])
MSI Afterburner ([link]) for Nvidia/AMD GPUs
SpeedFan ([link]) On Windows 8, select compatibility for Windows 7 for installation ([link])


Instructions:
Manual tweaking for some of the skins are required due to the unique configuration of each system. Please note that I have marked those sections clearly and provided instructions where necessary. For further information, please read the easy-to-understand Rainmeter guide ([link]). I might be able to provide some help if possible, however, Google seems to know the answer to almost all questions if asked nicely


Skins Available:
Below is the list of available skins

Application
- 10 customizable shortcuts
- Left click central orb to hide/show shortcuts
- Middle click central orb to load/unload skins layout
NOTE: Once you have loaded all the required skins, you must save the new layout with the name "Blue Overview" which will overwrite the default layout (which has the same name) and you will have your desktop layout permanently saved [link]
