Screen shot of the current iteration of my Home Theater PC Windows Vista desktop (1920×1080) along with some of the tools I used to implement it.
1. Dark Wood wallpaper from Deviant Art.
2. Stardock Objectdock to implement the Mac OSX like dock.
3. Rainmeter (now aka Rainlendar) with the HUD.Vision skin to embed live updating system parameters on the desktop. These are slightly customized versions by myself to change some sizes and alignment and to use the SpeedFan plugin to display temperatures with some of the items.
The network meter isn’t quite accurate and I couldn’t get the Windows Performance Monitor plugin version working correctly. If you have experience with this please let me know. The instance name for my network interface was ridiculously long and didn’t seem to take correctly in the ini file.
