Introducing......"Mechanism Advanced Appliance!" Or "MAA". Some of you are familiar with the Mechanism theme. This is a custom color that is not included in the original theme! Enjoy!

This Rainmeter skin has many HIDDEN features. This skin is "FULLY ANIMATED" and includes HIDDEN "HOT SPOTS"!

This Rainmeter Skin Suite is designed for a desktop resolution of 1920x1080. Download the latest version of Rainmeter HERE: https://rainmeter.net/cms/
