GLaDOS looks the most out of place on that theme, IMO




Link to original wallpaper?

In blue?

I can upload the one I have on my hard-drive. I found it deep in the theme section of DeviantART. I didn't even know it came in green, let alone blue.

It'll take a few minutes to sift through my pictures, I'll see if I can find it.

EDIT: I must have stuck it in some obscure or wrong folder, I have no clue where it is

Alright.  Here's what I used...
Stardock Fences - I just moved them around a bit.  Most of it at the top.
Rainmeter - Default Theme and Skins (You can see it at the very right of my desktop.)
Rainmeter Weather Skin (I think it's Large Clean or Circuitous Weather, not sure. :c)
This wallpaper.

Also, Rocket Dock is good too.  I don't have it on my desktop though.

Edit: I meant to say right, not left.  Oh well, I fixed it now.

Enjoy. c:

I have 4 more wallpapers which shuffle each hour :3


I'll need to clean it up before I can post it. It's so messy.

hot
how do i put the weather skin thing on though?
Open the zip folder you downloaded, there will be a folder named 'Weather'.  Drag that into the Rainmeter folder in My Documents.  Restart rainmeter.  Then, right click on the Rainmeter icon in your task bar (I'm assuming you know how to use a computer.)  And go to Configs > Weather > White Weather.ini.  You should now have the Weather on your desktop.  But you aren't done.  Right click on the weather thingy on the desktop and press Edit Skin.  You should see something in the config like this...
Code: [Select]
[Variables]
Location=USGA0013
;Location=INXX0012
Metric=f
Font=Century Gothic
FontColor=255, 255, 255, 255
FontInactive=255, 255, 255, 200
UpdateFreq=1800
YGap=55

(You can just google 'how to find weather code rainmeter.' and skip these poorly written guide, or you can continue on.)
Go to weather.com and search for your city and state.  Up in the URL bar, you should see something like USGA0053, copy and paste that into the Location=blah.  So it should now read
Quote
Location =codegoeshere.
You can also change the format from metric to Fahrenheit by changing
Code: [Select]
Metric=mto
Code: [Select]
Metric=fThen, save and exit.  Finally, right click on the skin and press 'refresh skin.'

And it should work. :D



It took me forever to find a good place to get wallpapers big enough like these that didn't suck. :U
