My desktop has 3GB and it runs perfectly. You don't need much. Only like 1GB.

How does Rainmeter work? I've been trying to get my weather onto it but I don't know how. It's really confusing D:

Sorry I'm late. When you run it, you should see a raindrop icon dooey in your daskbar, just right click that and you'll see some gadgets running already. If there is already a theme running, if it's not yours you might as well close the gadgets it's running. Just click them and hit "close skin". This may take a long time.

After you've got a new rainmeter skin, just go to the little raindrop dooey, go to Configs, find your new skin, and choose the part of it you want to have on the desktop (usually an Ini file.)

You should look at http://www.sharpe-shell.org
It's a desktop shell replacement for Windows XP, Vista, and 7.

I'm running XP, and my desktop looks similar to Windows 7. Only thing is, the effect only applies to the "toolbars"

Here's my desktop: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=104836.0
I have used Rainmeter in the past, it is awesome.

My Linux Ubuntu 9.10 desktop looks like Vista! :O
