The Desk ‘Top’ As A Desktop

4:00AM March 7, 2009 | Lifehacker US Edition


Reader Design Hobo’s desktop was made to look like the top of an actual desk—complete with coffee stained paper and sticky notes.


This desktop is also based on skins for Rainmeter, including:

The notes app is by ~Kaelri
The system app is also by ~Kaelri
These have been slightly edited to my liking.
The Calendar is by ~Limpet
Weather by Momax
RocketDock
Clock by Cho_7, skin is Trans.Rounded.
The pens, and notes vectors are by ~masseva.
The cell phone vector is by ~rembrandt83.
The notebook paper, Coffee, and Icons (for rocket dock) I made myself, all in Photoshop, as well as the background which was made using the Fibers and Noise.

Hit the link for a full download of the Rainmeter skins—including the INI files, icons, and even a set of wallpaper files to fit almost any resolution. Great job, Design Hobo!

    Hi!

    I just downloaded your beautifull desktop. And I got a ziped file. Now – I’m a total idiot when it comes to these things. So I simply wonder what I need to do, to get your work as my desktop background? What do I do with my downloaded file?

    Thanks!

    :)
