Customised Desktop User Interface

[MistaaMojoRisin]

>Dock, Icons, AND Taskbar on the same desktop

>Tons of bloat and unnecessary information everywhere

[ein1983]

@MistaaMojoRisin They are all optional. I like to know the date, time and CPU speeds etc and to have direct on click links.

[MrGaidamak]

I think without windows limitations I could be even better.

[ein1983]

@MrGaidamak There are not too many limitations. I have altered a lot of Windows 7 anyway.

Still rockin this rainmeter skin! Even made the weather one clickable so it opens up the 5 day forecast on the weather channel page. Added some others to it from another skin that include a CPU/RAM meter (made it clickable to open task manager) as well as two for email (one that shows my personal account, and another that shows my professional account). I'm even working on my own Windows theme to match this skin. You did great work on this.

[ein1983]

@matrix86 I changed mine to open a small window rather than open a browser and also made my own skins.

[ein1983]

@htmloracle look on Deviantart, someone made a copy of mine but you need to reconfigure it all.

[ein1983]

@iluv2dance2x You need to add the skin folder then refresh rainmeter.

[flyffLordArnold]

is there a way to get this working desktop on a vista pc?

[ein1983]

@flyffLordArnold I do not know I will not touch Vista, it's too laggy and glitchy for my liking.

[flyffLordArnold]

is there a way to get this working desktop on a vista pc?

[Protektorat7]

@ein1983 How do you do it ?

[ein1983]

@Protektorat7 make a skin then make the appropriate Java code for what you want it to do.

[4everCrysis1]

cool - when you click on the reactor in the middle - does the pc explode ??!!^^

[ein1983]

@4everCrysis1 If you set it to turn off the CPU fan then probably lol.

[bosty16]

where can i find it?

[ein1983]

@bosty16 I haven't released it but someone made a kind of copy but you need to reconfigure all the shortcuts.

so im new to this and i got the jarvis interface installed but i wanted to change some things like ofcourse the links(buttons) like images documents music and things like that also i want the music player to link to itunes and other things like that please if anyone can help me with this email me ferniemarquez90@gmail.com

Thanks.

[ein1983]

@FernieMarquez0000 You need to learn to use photoshop and JAVA to do that. I altered mine by editing in photoshop and also changing the Java code.

[crimsonheretic]

my dad was so pissed when I made my desktop into this....

[ein1983]

it is working but has changed a lot recently.

[jqet]

if you get it workin post it up, it looks coolz!!

[matrix86]

EDIT: ok, got it set to standard (Fahrenheit) by changing #Metric# to #Standard# but I still can't get it to the right temperature for my area. Weather Channel is telling me it's 93 degrees right now, but the weather part of your program is telling me it's 81 and it's not even close to being foggy :P I just still can't seem to get the location part down. I've tried several methods with no luck and have run out of ideas :P

[ein1983]

@matrix86

You need to get a weather code from weather dot com and enter it at the end of the link in the code.

[matrix86]

How do you set the weather to your location and temperature. I know how to change everything else (links, link names) but it's the weather one I can't figure out...i've done some trial and error but can't seem to figure this one out. I want it for my local temperature, and in Fahrenheit, not Celsius. It's bothering me that I can't figure it out, lol.

[ein1983]

Yes you can edit any of the java code to change the links, shortcuts and operations. I have change the setup and layout of this now to a more customised design and given it a more embedded feel into te desktop.
