Description
My first try at a Rainmeter Desktop. I liked the layout because it felt like I was sitting at a spaceship's control console.Nothing in it is my creation, but I included all the Rainmeter skins I used to make it and the background is an animated background of a slowly flowing strand of colors. When combined with the skins, it looks and feels very cool.

Eve Online Skin\Large Targeter - Selected\Small Targeter
Eve online Skin\Scan\Scan

MClock\ZXY\Rotx2

What about the background/wallpaper? Anyone know what that is, or have a link to it?

Idk what the exact background is, but you can normally find a space themed wallpaper that will go with it.

I found it, and have instructions!
1) The background is a short animation called "Surreal". Download it here -->Β www.dreamsceneseven.com/animatβ¦
2) To put up the file as a background, you have to install Dreamscene Seven. It's free, download from here -->Β www.dreamsceneseven.com/
3) Install Dreamscene Seven.
4) Right click on the icon on your desktop (for Dreamscene Seven) and click on "Run as Administrator." It will not work otherwise (unless you have your alerts turned off).
5) In the little window that pops up, click on the button that says "Install DreamScene". It will cause the screen to blink a couple of times and your desktop icons may become hidden. Mine did.
6) Find the file you downloaded for the background (The animated wallpaper page I linked for Surreal has a lot to choose from, so choose the one you downloaded). Right click on it, and click on "Set as Desktop Background".
That should do it.

What does it mean the "My version of Windows is not supported by this version"? sorry, kinda new here.
π: 0 β©: 0
for some reason the "Scan" in the eve section causes it to freeze up and then the entire rainmeter program shuts down. o.0... might just be my computer but id like to see if anyone else is getting the same result.

PC - hit the button Print Screen and past it to paint (Or other program that accepts images) [might be shorten to prtscrn or something)
Mac - Shift+Control+4 then highlight what you want to copy

Sorry for the late reply. I just used the standard Windows Print Screen function.

I feel like I'm missing something.
The pogs are remaining circles and don't actually expand to show any info or anything. Nothing happens when you click them. I'm getting a lot of errors and whatnot, and it's really frustrating :/ I followed all the instructions on page 2 of the comments.
Is there any way anyone can walk me through this step-by-step? I'd really appreciate it.

If the pogs aren't working right, I don't know how to fix that. The original creator would be a better person to ask. I have loaded the same download on 3 separate computers with 3 different resolution and screen sizes and haven't had a single problem. I don't know why anyone else is. Here is a link to the original creator's RM page.

Do you know where in the weather circle text (in edit notepad) I need to insert my weather code? I have it but I'm not sure where I need to paste it into.
π: 0 β©: 1
I just clicked on the weather icon in the pog and it gave me the option of "Get Weather Code" and I click on that and it automatically applied it for me.

Seriously, it wants me to have 4.0.6, and there's only a 4 beta out now.

I don't know, I just downloaded the one off the website, nothing special.

Re-updated the skin package, should have everything in it now.

I would most appreciate it if you could explain what goes where and how you put it together. It's fantastic!

Could you be a little more thorough please? I am new to rainmeter and would really like to have this as my background.

My main question is how you got the circles on the outside to extend? Mine just stay in circle form. I got mainly all of it installed just need help figuring that out.
π: 0 β©: 2
I am having this same problem. But first I want to make sure you know I LOVE this skin, please keep up the great work! Anyway, I wanted to ask if perhaps the problem might be that I don't have Rocketdock?

The pogs extend when you click their outer shell line.
Sorry about the missing skins, I swore they were there when I made the rmskin. I will replace with full list again.
π: 0 β©: 2
The pogs will not extend no matter what I seem to try. They stay as circles, with no icons inside. (like the screenshot i posted)
Any suggestions. This is the only theme i haven't been able to figure out. I have a good amount working.
