Here is a wallpaper and complimenting Rainmeter configuration based off of the game Defcon (Developed by Introversion Software).
I developed the wallpaper in large through Adobe AfterEffects. Icons of on-screen units were extracted directly from the game.
Rainmeter:
-Enigma: Notes, Two app launchers
-HUD.Vision: All four CPU, two HDD, Clock.Vision, Network.zOOm, & RAM monitors ( customize.org/rainmeter/skins/58074 )
-OnionCake: Date ( customize.org/rainmeter/skins/66292 )
-Pie R Round: iTunes media display
( customize.org/rainmeter/skins/66585 )
Fonts used were "Battlefield", "Battlefield Condensed", and "GF Ordner Inverted"

Las Vegas, often known simply as Vegas, is the 26th-most populous city in the United States, the most populous city in the state of Nevada, and the county seat of Clark County. The city anchors the Las Vegas Valley metropolitan area and is the largest city within the greater Mojave Desert. Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city, known primarily for its gambling, shopping, fine dining, entertainment, and nightlife. The Las Vegas Valley as a whole serves as the leading financial, commercial, and cultural center for Nevada.
The city bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World, and is famous for its mega casino-hotels and associated activities. It is a top three destination in the United States for business conventions and a global leader in the hospitality industry, claiming more AAA Five Diamond hotels than any other city in the world. Today, Las Vegas annually ranks as one of the world's most visited tourist destinations. The city's tolerance for numerous forms of adult entertainment earned it the title of "Sin City", and has made Las Vegas a popular setting for literature, films, television programs, and music videos.
Las Vegas was settled in 1905 and officially incorporated in 1911. At the close of the 20th century, it was the most populated North American city founded within that century (a similar distinction was earned by Chicago in the 19th century). Population growth has accelerated since the 1960s, and between 1990 and 2000 the population nearly doubled, increasing by 85.2%. Rapid growth has continued into the 21st century, and according to the United States Census Bureau, the city had 641,903 residents in 2020, with a metropolitan population of 2,227,053.
As with most major metropolitan areas, the name of the primary city ("Las Vegas" in this case) is often used to describe areas beyond official city limits. In the case of Las Vegas, this especially applies to the areas on and near the Las Vegas Strip, which are actually located within the unincorporated communities of Paradise and Winchester.

DEF CON (also written as DEFCON, Defcon or DC) is one of the world's largest and most notable hacker conventions, held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. The first DEF CON took place in June 1993 and today many attendees at DEF CON include computer security professionals, journalists, lawyers, federal government employees, security researchers, students, and hackers with a general interest in software, computer architecture, hardware modification, conference badges, and anything else that can be "hacked". The event consists of several tracks of speakers about computer- and hacking-related subjects, as well as cyber-security challenges and competitions (known as hacking wargames). Contests held during the event are extremely varied, and can range from creating the longest Wi-Fi connection (aircrack-ng) to finding the most effective way to cool a beer in the Nevada heat.
Other contests, past and present, include lockpicking, robotics-related contests, art, slogan, coffee wars, scavenger hunt and Capture the Flag. Capture the Flag (CTF) is perhaps the best known of these contests and is a hacking competition where teams of hackers attempt to attack and defend computers and networks using software and network structures. CTF has been emulated at other hacking conferences as well as in academic and military contexts (as red team exercises).
Federal law enforcement agents from the FBI, DoD, United States Postal Inspection Service, DHS via us-cert.gov and other agencies regularly attend DEF CON.
One of the first full-blown rainmeter configs was a Defcon game tribute. Last night I decided to go gung-ho and remake a Defcon theme! This project spanned from about 10:45 pm to 2:30 am the continuing morning! Anyways, here is what I did and used:
The wallpaper is the actual game menu background. I used Simple Sentence for the weather and Sun Cycle, 10-Foot HUD for the date and time, and the Three configs for the system Up Time. The CPU, RAM, and HDD bars are my custom skins (as seen in my Mech HUD desktop).
And for lack of nice color matching icons, I used the Devine Icon pack.
The invisible taskbar hack can be found here.
