Windows Phone 7 Desktop - Pimping Desktop using Rainmeter!


First of all, let me tell you Windows Sidebar, Rocket Dock, etc.... these all things have become pretty old.

The new and latest buzz is pimping up your desktop using different enhancing tools available online, one of them is RAINMETER. Rainmeter is a desktop customization platform. Through Rainmeter, you can enhance your Windows computer at home or work with skins: handy, compact applets which float freely on your desktop, much like Windows Sidebar gagdgets, or dashboard widgets for the Mac. Rainmeter skins provide you with useful information at a glance. It's easy to keep an eye on your system resources, like memory and battery power, or your online data streams, including email, RSS feeds, and weather forecasts. Many skins are even functional: they can record your notes and to-do lists, launch your favorite applications, and send your tweets to Twitter - all in a clean, unobtrusive interface that you can rearrange and customize to your liking.

Download Rainmeter from: HERE

You can find some great skins on that website itself and also HERE .

After installing rainmeter, find out the installed directory and extract the following file contents to skin folder:
