Little Black Box Theme

I'm preparing for university beginning in September and with that comes Autumn, so I picked brownish-warm colors, and my university building is quite modern-looking, so I felt inspired to do a minimalistic Rainmeter setup to match my coming surroundings, so without further ado here are the skins that I've used to setup this "non-intrusive" theme (took me around 30 mins.):

Enigma [included with Rainmeter]:

- Launcher (under Taskbar) [tweaked via the "Enigma\Options" skin]

- Music (under Taskbar)

Macro Love's Obsidian skins:

- Drive

- Calender

- Clock

Omnimo:

- Taskbar (under TextItems\Topbar\BG) [and this one has been tweaked to not fill the entire screen = "Edit skin", bottom part "h" = 80 and "w" = 1100 for my 1080p resolution]

- Wireless signal indicator (under Topbar\Addons)

- Weather (under Topbar\Addons)

- RAM (under Topbar\Addons)

- CPU (under Topbar\Addons)

- Recycle Bin (under Topbar\Addons)

- joanake has been so kind to share a link to a 1680 x 1050 version of the wallpaper, which I had no link for originally - Thanks!

 

Also if anyone wondered how I would be launching programs without breaking the immersion and showing the Start menu, I use a brilliant app called Launchy which shows whenever I press Alt+Space and hides again after launching the app that I type in its search bar - Works flawlessly :)

 

Update 2

It seems I got featured on Lifehacker again with this theme so I just wanted to say thanks for that, I'm glad someone likes it ^_^
