Rainmeter - Beautify your desktop

Rainmeter - Beautify your desktop

With the help of this program, you can place on your desktop various accessories such as a clock, calendar, weather forecast, various tools for monitoring computer resources, and much more.

The program itself weighs only a few megabytes, but the add-ons you want to place on the desktop can take up from a few kilobytes to over 10 MB.

The installation of the program itself is simple and common, as is the installation of add-ons. Except for some that come in folders so you have to put the whole folder in the "Masks" folder.

There are a lot of plugins, you can find them on sites like customize.org or deviantart.com, but also on google on various sites and forums. The best thing about Rainmeter is that all these plugins are created by the users themselves (which they upload to the internet for free) and you can edit them in a simple .txt file. Later, when you get a little practice, you can make your own plugins.

The latest stable version brings the label Rainmeter v2.2, where the Serbian language has also been added. You can download the program from THIS link, and skins and plugins from Google.

The program does not consume too much RAM memory, so 1GB will be quite enough.

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.
