Options now has a few new colouring options. All the options mean:

  • Account name: Your steam gifts name e.g "kennyist" your exact name!
  • Refresh time: This is for the featured part, Don't go below 60 if you have slow internet or a cap!
  • RSS refresh time: Self explanatory
  • Menu colour: The colour of all menu text's
  • RSS colour: Colour off all text in RSS part
  • XP colour: Colour of the XP text and ring in RGBa format E.G 0,0,0,255 for black (4th number is alpha 0- invisible, 255- full colour)
  • Lever colour: Colour of the level text - RGBa same as above.
  • Toggle tooltip: 1 is off 0 is on

Dark theme: (images)

This is the view of the new theme. Light theme will be coming soon as well as other theme. I am look for help for new theme designs or artists.


Xp system:

I have made a XP system to go with the skin which is based on your comments, Give away entries and giveaway wins based in this formula, *(wins 2) + (Comments + entries / 2)**. There are 11 ranks before an highly unbeatable rank f 50,000xp.


Version Check:

I have added a version check, This appears at the bottom of the menu. If your version is out of date red text will appear saying so, Just come here and the latest version will be on here ready for download.


More:

Both RSSfeed and Featured panel are separate from the main panel now, can be freely moved around saving space. They can all be toggled from the main panel just like options panel can.


Download link:

YOU NEED LATEST VERSION OF RAINMETER - Else you get errors!

First you need Rainmeter

And then the skin: Download v2.24 Automatic installer now

To change options from the menu itself, Click your avatar. That will Toggle the options panel.


This is only V2.0, I have more things planned and I am taking suggestions!

The changes are very good. Very compact, and still gives access to practically everything on the site. Now with gamification!

yeah they are a little tricky, i have only dabbled with RM myself, but there's groups of people who will be able to give you advice and such. Rainmeter can do pretty much anything, so there must be a way

It would take me a heck of a load more pages of code to get a search feature. Also I cant do anything that requires account info, thats why is cant even display your points.

If they ever update the Webparse plugin, then its possible to include a search later on.

Also, nice desktop.
