![[Review] Nokia Lumia 520: The Best Budget Smart Phone in India?](http://cdn.techsplurge.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/lumia-520-thumb.jpg)
Rainmeter is the ultimate desktop enhancement application. With over thousands of skins available, one can style their desktop as they want to. I generally use it to monitor my gmail account, browse through RSS feeds, quickly launch apps and save notes (which is snyc-ed with Kunal using Dropbox, so we can collaborate together on posts efficiently).
In this post, I’m sharing 18 Rainmeter skins (or themes) that I’ve used and think that they’re the best available around:
How to Install a Rainmeter theme?
- Right-click and Extract the contents of the file (.zip or .rar)
- Copy it to Rainmeter’s Skins folders present at:
X:\Users\<your username>\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\- Open Rainmeter (or restart it if its already open). Right click on its tray icon and from the “Config” menu, choose your Skin/Theme.
- Congrats you did it!
(If it doesn’t work, lemme know about it by leaving a comment after this post.)
