Rainmeter is a desktop customization platform. Through Rainmeter, you can enhance your Windows computer at home or work with skins: handy, compact applets which float freely on your desktop, much like Windows Sidebar gagdgets, or dashboard widgets for the Mac.

# Rainmeter installer now asks to run Rainmeter when complete.
# Rainstaller: Added a sample .rmskin as a template for authors.
