Samovar (a.k.a Arrow Overkill - at =AshenFox's suggestion) is finally finished, whee!

Included are:

- CPU/RAM/Battery power meters
- Uptime monitor
- Individual and general overviews of HDD status
- Weather (for now and the day in general)
- Time and date (12 or 24 hour clock)
- Log off/restart/shutdown controls - based on this.
- Volume Control - this will only work in Windows 7
- Folder launcher
- Recycle Bin Monitor (left/right click on the arrow for actions)
- Windows Media Player/Foobar/Winamp controls - sorry, still no iTunes controls.
-Samovar Configuration tool is included - this can be used to edit all the font colours, change the clock from 24 to 12hr and other things.
- Wallpaper used here (which is one of my photos from Munich - previously unreleased) and also the wallpaper from my previous WIP submission to the Rainmeter group are included in the download.

Rainmeter 1.3 beta is required for this skin to work properly and the WMP Info plugin by =poiru is required to get this skin working with Window Media Player (found here).

Thanks to ~Stafal-chan for beta testing this for me. :)

If there are any problems or questions with this skin let me know.

Version 1.1
- Fixed the errors I made in the .rmskin file (thanks, poiru! :p)
- Added configuration.ini file for easily bringing up the config tool
- Added some descriptions to some of the skins, haven't completed this yet, but most of the skins should be self-explanatory anyway
- Added config values for the background bar colour and height

09/10/10 Update

-Tided up some coding in skin and for the installer.

I suggest you have a look through Varelse's Rainmeter Workshop entries in the Rainmeter group, he goes through the process of creating some Rainmeter skins, might be useful to you - [link] (he links more at the bottom, and if you go through the archive of Rainmeter blog entries, there may be more he hasn't linked).
Other than that, start with someone's existing skin, look through the manual and start changing small bits and pieces so you know what they do and from there, you should be able to make variants of existing skins and then completely new skins. :)

That's nice. I love urban/architecture based desktops. Everything looks easily accessible in this shot, you've got your basics in eye shot when you need it.

Will deff give this a shot. Would you share the wallpaper too?
