[ORIGINAL]

My first rainmeter skin. Of course I'm aware this is not the first hexagon based skin, but I tried to improve user-friendliness compared to the others. I hope you like it.


FEATURES:

  • Easy style switching: You can switch between the different designs shown in the preview with a few clicks, so you can quickly adjust the colors to your new wallpaper. No text file editing necessary. I included 16 predefined colors taken from the Win 10 color palette (for some synergy with your Windows Metro design), but of course you can define your own palette.
  • A docking system: A problem of hexagon based skins is that you have to adjust every position pixel by pixel. The meters of this skin align to an invisible grid which makes positioning much easier. Dont worry, you can disable it e.g. if you want to use special positions of your wallpaper.
  • A uniform and a individual color theme: The colorful theme (displayed in the left of the preview) allows you to adjust the color of every button individually. I implemented it mainly to have the option for a more classic icon style.
  • Includes: Shortcuts, Clock, Weather, CPU, RAM, Battery, Network traffic, Music Player and a settings meter.
I included several program and game icons for the shortcuts, but of course I can't cover everything so if anything is missing: ask me or draw your own
Also check the Notes file in the skin folder for advice on some settings.
I developed&tested it on 1920x1080, so some font sizes may be too small for 4K, however, if you need it for 4K just ask in the comments and I'll try to adjust it.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
  • The wallpapers used in the preview can be found here , here and here .  The last one is included.
  • I used weather icons by Shakuro
  • And, of course, thanks to the rainmeter developers, especially jsmorley's forum posts

Hey - loving the pack so far. Was just wondering if it is possible to create more single icons? I've used all 5 and still have some space to fill. Thanks in advance!

Hi. This is super easy: just create copies of one of the single shortcut folders (in Documents/Rainmeter/Skins/Sigma/) and rename them (like "Shortcut 6" "Shortcut 7" and so on). Now refresh everything (e.g. the button down left in the Rainmeter main menu) and the additional shortcuts should be available.

Thanks so much! If you get a chance there are a few icons I would love for you to add (Discord, battle.net, utorrent, twitter) I've been messing around in paint trying to figure it out but I have no experience so I'm not getting very far You've been more than helpful thus far though so no sweat if you're too busy. Thanks again! Edit: Tinkered around and figured it out

Glad you did. Nevertheless, I appreciate it when you post which icons you need so I can include them too in future updates.
