Rainmeter

Before you download the free Rainmeter Skins for Windows, it’s important to know what this software is. If you are a fan of customization, the Rainmeter is the software you need. Rainmeter changes the entire look of your computer’s desktop. There are a few things that you need to have a clear idea about.

Rainmeter does not tweak or modify the system. It brings features on the top of your existing system instead. If you have ever used an Android phone, you must have an idea about the widgets that can change the look of your phone’s home screen. Back in the day, there used to be dedicated widgets apps, some of the apps still exist which can completely turn around the look of your phone. The Rainmeter does something similar, but for the desktop computers and Laptops powered by Windows.

Rainmeter adds widgets to your computer’s screen. These widgets, known as skins for Rainmeter, can be synced with your computer. For example, if you go for a skin that shows the information about the CPU and RAM, it will take that information from your system and show it on the screen in realtime.

You can install a visualizer skin and sync it with Spotify or Windows Media Player. The visualizer will animate on the Desktop with the songs played in your selected player. While doing this, Rainmeter will not interrupt any of your activities.
