Helen (Rats), I think I'll have to ban you from using my graphics..... you're making me look bad!!! Those are just TOO good!! and now I'll have to install Rainmeter as well so I can use them........................... Damn you!!

But... but...

Not bloody likely, lol.

Seriously though, I'm enjoying doing this Rainmeter. It's been fun to learn new things (I never would have thought about using a gradient on the stroke setting), and I'm loving the Parisienne theme. I'm picky when it comes to Blinds and stuff, but this ticks all the right boxes for me.

Oh, and I'm actually starting to like being called Rats...... so damn you too!

Edit: Thanks for telling me the Parisienne skin for Xion was done, you sod!!

Me too, I've just had verticals installed in every room in my house..... I just went for plain white though.

OK, then your full name can be Rats Can Die.................. (see what I did there?)

Erm, am I missing something?

Nope. That's my screen after getting almost everything put back into place. Regular acts of insanity shall proceed apace as usual.

I'm gonna stand on top of the gallery with my net. As soon as it gets there ....... BANG!!    Mine.

Thanks sViz. Couldn't have done it without BoXXi's PSD's though. And it's been a good learning experience for me. First time using vector masks, and oh boy were they helpful. Plus I've done a few more readings and features on this Rainmeter, so it's been a nice advancement from my first one. Still so much to learn though.

@Uvah - Silly sod, lol

Very good for resizing stuff without any distortion. Select one of the path/shape creating tools (U) (rectangle, rounded rectangle, Elipse, Polygon, etc) Make sure you have paths selected up in the top left, not shape layers. Create your rectangle or whatever, press A to switch to Path Selection Tool, right click path and select add vector mask. Press Shift and F5 to fill with a colour, apply layer effects or whatever. You can resize down nice and easy using the Path Selection Tool and again right clicking on the path (make sure the path thumbnail is selected) and select Free Transform Path.

Couldn't use them on the inner gold layers, they still distorted for some reason, but for the background frame and Carbon pattern layers they were invaluable.

No problems. And keep in mind you can do that with any path, including ones made with the pen tool.

@Uvah- I totally suck with the pen tool, lol. I really should practice more with it.
