When Sebastian submitted his desktop, we were ready to share it as-is, but then he linked to the project at Behance, which included this lovely video of the whole thing in action. It’s a beautifully custom take on a system UI, and he’s included many of the components so you can make it yourself. Here’s how.
First, of course, you’ll need to understand Rainmeter and how it works, and if you need help getting started, our guide here can give you the basics.
Once you’re through that, here’s what you’ll need:
- This wallpaper for the lock screen and this wallpaper for the desktop
- The Rainmeter system tweaking and monitoring tool for Windows
- The Simple Clean skin for the time display in the center
- The Rusa Jantan suite that Sebastian used for the dock
- The Minimal Volume Control skin to, well, control the volume
- The Modern UI Icon pack to replace the system icons
A number of the specific elements here have been customised and tweaked specifically by Sebastian to match the look and feel he’s going for, so if you’re not sure how to get yours to look or work quite the same way, feel free to hit up the Behance or Flickr links below to read more — and let him know we sent you, and love his work!
