The plan so far is to have a one month nomination period after each quarter of the year. We will only be accepting nominations of skins that were submitted to DeviantArt within that quarter of the year. We're hoping this will encourage the creation of new skins. Because of a limitation to the number of items we can place on a single pole, we the moderators reserve the right to whittle down the competition before voting.

The short answer is that the gallery moderation is done entirely by volunteers, who have lives outside the internet... and we may have let the number of submissions get away from us a bit. We dropped the ball, so to speak.

Rather sorry about that, but what happened, happened.

A sizable pile of submission requests from mid-March have expired.  I'm going to try to get things caught up today, but if you submitted to the gallery earlier this month and your request expired, you'll need to resubmit if you haven't done so already.  Pleas ]]> http://rainmeter.deviantart.com/journal/Rainmeter-2-5-Final-Release-361293994 http://rainmeter.deviantart.com/journal/Rainmeter-2-5-Final-Release-361293994 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 09:31:18 PDT Rainmeter 2.5 Final Release nonadult journals/personal Rainmeter http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/a/rainmeter.png?15 Copyright 2013 #Rainmeter @Rainmeter

Through the use of a clever Lua script Rainsweeper is a clone of the classic Minesweeper game. The ingenious design allows for many features including a GUI options editor, saved high scores, and it has no images or other resource files making it light as it can be.

If it was a skin, it was probably because it was not packaged properly or contained things that should not be there.

Since time is short, reasons will not be given all the time, read our submission guidelines at http://rainmeter.deviantart.com/journal/Submission-Rules-226392215 and it should tell you why it was denied.

Your work will never be denied based on how it looks.

I must admit this group has really grown. And together with its growth, and the growth of its community, the people developing skins has increased. However all developers have once been new to coding in rainmeter. So all experienced rainmeter developers know how important it is to get help from other experienced users when problems arise during the coding of a skin. Therefore, obviously both new and experienced developers will sometimes go to the rainmeter community and seek help.

One of the more important features in this release is the changed behavior of the "Normal" (default) z-position. Until now, if you wanted a skin to stay visible when you clicked the "Show desktop" button (or pressed WIN + D), you had to manually set the skin position to "On desktop" either through the skin context menu or through the Manage dialog. And it had to be done for every single skin manually. As of the new beta, the default "Normal" position will stay on your desktop as well.

Wifi and Battery meters are a staple of laptop users and are incredibly easy to create.

ImageCrop, ImageTint, and all of the other Image related features are a very useful feature of Rainmeter opening a whole new method of creating dynamic images. We're also going to use some neat tricks with DyanamicVariables, Substitution, and Conditional Statements to make the battery indicator change color and blink when the battery is low.

Note: The big reason we're using ImageCrop instead of a Bar meter is that when using an Image with a Bar meter, the Image cannot be scaled.

We need to start by grabbing the image we're going to use.

The #Rainmeter deviantArt group was founded just over two years ago. We started small, but our fantastic team as well as the entire community have gone to great lengths to make us big. Today, many of us are busy -- be it with school, university, or work -- and the time has come to look for some new blood.

Do you want to be a part of all this? Do you want to manage the SOTM polls? Help moderate the gallery? Write blog posts? Enjoy our company :)?

If so, just send a note to us. Tell a little about yourself and what you'd like to do.

Feel free to ask any questions in the comments below.

With the release of Rainmeter 2.1 behind us, the team has been busy working on cool new things. Nothing has been set in stone at this point, but I have a few important questions for those of you that use Litestep and Rainmeter in combination. The answers here will affect our plans going forward, so please answer with care.

What are the advantages of using  Rainmeter as a Litestep module? What is different when Rainmeter is running as a Litestep module and when it is running as a "normal" Windows program?

Leave your answer in the comments. Thanks in advance :)

As you might have noticed, the Skin of the Month polls have been held rather irregularly this year. This madness will come to an end soon, but we'll have to go through one more combined poll to balance things out.

So, without further ado, the suggestions for the Skin of the Month May and June polls are now being accepted. Simply leave a comment below with the name and link to your favorite skin or suite -- we'll take care of the politics. The suggestion period is over and voting has begun.

The Orbital Clock displays the time in the circles as well as moves the circles around an orbit like the hands of a clock.

One of the awesome things about Rainmeter is the Calc measure.  It allows you to do some really cool things.  In this case, move meter around the skin based off of time.  The skin is a little heavy on algebra and trigonometry.

This isn't a math lesson, so I'm not going to go too terribly in depth on the equations used.
