Стандартные гаджеты безоговорочно ушли из современных версий Windows OC. Но пользователи не привыкли терять что-то хорошее и поэтому активно используют аналоги. Еще задолго до появления Windows 10/11 одной из самых популярных программ среди кастомайзеров была Rainmeter. Она открывает доступ к огромному количеству функций и выше на голову стандартных гаджетов для Windows 7. Rainmeter можно использовать практически на любой версии операционной системы. Будь то 10, 8, 7, Vista или даже XP. Она Вам не откажет. Но не только в своей работе, но и в скинах. Скины для Rainmeter — это варианты гаджетов (виджетов), которые помещаются на рабочий стол. Они имеют совершенно разный функционал и могут выполнять любое предназначение. Одни призваны показать время или погоду, другие помогут узнать нагрузку на оперативную память или CPU, а третьи и вовсе будут играть исключительно косметическую роль — покажут какую-нибудь галерею изображений или красивую анимацию. Возможности программы безграничны и количество готовых скинов тоже сложно посчитать. Используйте ее, ведь она классная!

Along with the Minecraft font this makes it the best Minecraft experience that you can have on your desktop.

The FLHUD skin amazed me with its simplicity, clean-looking design, and the widgets that it offered. The main bar of the widget is completely customizable with hyperlinks so that you can check Reddit or whatever website you want with a simple click from your desktop. The visualizer had a great feel to it, was connected with Spotify, and looked amazing as you can see.
There weren’t a lot of variations for the widgets other than having two choices for the clock but still, it was enough and it did the job.

The date and time are displayed in a cool minimalistic way that don’t gain attention. The sidebar is the biggest feature and there you can find everything you would need.

Download Moderate
One of the best things that I liked about this theme was the simplicity and the robust design elements. However, not everyone might like its design since it’s made to replace the taskbar with all the features and functionality that it offers. I’m going to say that if you don’t have a touch screen then this widget might seem a bit redundant for you.
You can control the music, open specific files, look at disk usage and other system information, empty the recycle bin and open the games directly from the bottom bar.

There’s a recurring theme when going through these skins and that is the minimalism style that most of them follow.

If you wanted the classic neon look to your clock then this is the perfect rainmeter skin for you. Neoclock does exactly what you would think it does. It’s going to make your desktop a lot more stylish and compared with a background image that makes it pop this is going to be perfect.
The only thing that it’s lacking is the color customizability but overall is a great solid choice.

Большинству пользователей знакомы гаджеты рабочего стола Windows 7, некоторые ищут, где скачать гаджеты для Windows 10, но не многим известна такая бесплатная программа для оформления Windows, добавления самых различных виджетов (часто красивых и полезных) на рабочий стол как Rainmeter. О ней сегодня и поговорим.
Итак, Rainmeter — небольшая бесплатная программа, позволяющая оформить ваш рабочий стол Windows 10, 8.1 и Windows 7 (впрочем, она работает и в XP, к тому же появилась как раз во времена этой ОС) с помощью «скинов» (skins), представляющих собой виджеты для рабочего стола (по аналогии с Android), такие как информация об использовании ресурсов системы, часы, оповещения о почте, погода, RSS-читалки и прочие.
Причем вариантов таких виджетов, их оформления, а также тем (тема содержит набор скинов или виджетов в одном стиле, а также параметры их конфигурации) исчисляется тысячами (ниже на скриншоте простой пример виджетов Rainmeter на рабочем столе Windows 10). Думаю, это может быть интересно как минимум в виде эксперимента, к тому же данный софт полностью безвредный, с открытым кодом, бесплатный и имеет интерфейс на русском языке.
Загрузка и установка Rainmeter
Скачать Rainmeter можно с официального сайта https://rainmeter.net, а установка происходит в несколько простых шагов — выбор языка, типа установки (рекомендую выбрать «стандартную»), а также места установки и версии (будет предложено установить x64 в поддерживаемых версиях Windows).
Сразу после установки, если не убрать соответствующую отметку, Rainmeter автоматически запускается и либо сразу открывает приветственное окно и несколько виджетов по умолчанию на рабочем столе, либо просто отображает иконку в области уведомлений, по двойному клику на которую открывается окно настроек.
Использование Rainmeter и добавление виджетов (скинов) на рабочий стол
Прежде всего, вы можете захотеть убрать половину виджетов, включая окно приветствия, которые были автоматически добавлены на рабочий стол Windows, чтобы сделать это просто кликните по ненужному элементу правой кнопкой мыши и выберите в меню «Закрыть скин». Также вы можете перемещать их мышью в удобные расположения.
А теперь об окне конфигурации (вызывается кликом по значку Rainmeter в области уведомлений).
- На вкладке «Скины» вы можете видеть список установленных скинов (виджетов), доступных для добавления на рабочий стол. При этом они размещены по папкам, где папка верхнего уровня обычно означает «тему», в которой содержатся скины, а в подпапках находятся они сами. Для добавления виджета на рабочий стол, выберите файл что-то.ini и либо нажмите кнопку «Загрузить», либо просто дважды кликните по нему мышью. Тут же вы сможете вручную настроить параметры виджета, а при необходимости и закрыть его соответствующей кнопкой вверху справа.
- На вкладке «Темы» находится список установленных в текущий момент тем. Также и вы можете сохранять настроенные вами темы Rainmeter с набором скинов и их расположений.
- Вкладка «Настройки» позволяет включить запись журнала, изменить некоторые параметры, выбрать язык интерфейса, а также редактор для виджетов (этого еще коснемся).
Итак, к примеру, выбираем виджет «Network» в теме «Illustro», присутствующей по умолчанию, дважды кликаем по файлу Network.ini и на рабочем столе появляется виджет сетевой активности компьютера с отображением внешнего IP-адреса (даже если вы используете роутер). В окне управления Rainmeter можно изменить некоторые параметры скина (координаты, прозрачность, сделать его поверх всех окон или «прилепленным» к рабочему столу и т.д).
Дополнительно, имеется возможность отредактировать скин (как раз для этого выбирался редактор) — для этого, нажмите кнопку «Изменить» или кликните по файлу .ini правой кнопкой мыши и выберите «Изменить» в меню.
Откроется текстовый редактор с информацией, касающейся работы и внешнего вида скина. Для кого-то это может показаться сложным, но для тех, кто хоть немного работал со скриптами, файлами конфигурации или языками разметки изменить виджет (или даже создать свой на его основе) не составит труда — во всяком случае цвета, размеры шрифтов и некоторые другие параметры можно поменять даже не особо вникая.
Думаю, немного поигравшись, любой быстро разберется пусть не с редактированием, но с включением, изменением расположения и настроек скинов и перейдет к следующему вопросу — как скачать и установить другие виджеты.
Загрузка и установка тем и скинов
Какого-то официального сайта для того, чтобы скачать темы и скины для Rainmeter нет, однако найти их можно на многих как российских, так и иностранных сайтах, один из самых популярных наборов (сайт на английском) находится на https://rainmeter.deviantart.com/. Также, уверен, без проблем можно найти и русские сайты с темами оформления для Rainmeter.
После скачивания любой темы, просто кликните по ее файлу дважды (обычно, это файл с расширением .rmskin) и установка темы запустится автоматически, после чего появятся новые скины (виджеты) для оформления рабочего стола Windows.
В некоторых случаях темы находятся в файле zip или rar и представляют собой папку с набором вложенных папок. Если в таком архиве вы видите не файл с расширением .rmskin, а файл rainstaller.cfg или rmskin.ini, то для установки такой темы следует поступить следующим образом:
- Если это ZIP архив, то просто измените расширение файла на .rmskin (предварительно потребуется включить отображение расширений файлов, если оно не включено в Windows).
- Если это RAR, то распакуйте его, запакуйте в ZIP (можно средствами Windows 7, 8.1 и Windows 10 — кликните правой кнопкой мыши по папке или группе файлов — отправить — сжатая ZIP-папка) и переименуйте в файл с расширением .rmskin.
- Если это папка, то упакуйте ее в ZIP и измените расширение на .rmskin.
Предполагаю, кого-то из моих читателей Rainmeter сможет заинтересовать: использование этой утилиты позволяет действительно очень сильно изменить оформление Windows, сделав интерфейс неузнаваемым (можете выполнить поиск по картинкам где-нибудь в Google, в качестве запроса введя «Rainmeter Desktop», чтобы представить возможные модификации).
