Rainmeter Skin for the Steampunk Orrery and Clockby ~yereverluvinuncleber

Customization / Skins & Themes / System Monitoring / Rainmeter

Is this a piece of Space 1899 high tech? - perhaps the Martian attack has failed and the humans are returning to Mars for their revenge? Is it a piece of the Victorian space technology that human space farers might use in their quest for conquest of Mars?

Nope! It is simply a Rainmeter version of my previous Steampunk Orrery Widget. The Rainmeter skin is a straight conversion of the original steampunk orrery using my graphics for the front end. The clock is working, the cogs rotate and the clock tells the time. At the moment the advanced functions of the original Yahoo widget Orerry have not yet been transferred but this may yet occur... give me time.

You can download the Rainmeter widget here: [link]

(DA in their wisdom are hiding the download button, it is now beneath the "more like this" module, on the right...)

The hard work in converting the orerry was performed by a dedicated DA-er by the name of Mordasius: [link] His skills in converting the YWE! widget graphics to rainmeter have been heavily relied upon. I have a lot of learning to do for the next stage. Mordasius has also used the moon shade images from from Visions+ by sgtevmckay [link] in this conversion, so credit where credit is due.

The original YWE! widget was created by myself using my graphics and the javascript code of Harry Whitfield. Harry's hard work isn't in the latest version but we worked so long and hard on the original that he needs to be credited too. The original orrery widget for the yahoo widget engine can be found here: [link]

Mordasius' inspiration was founded upon my steampunk widget but in turn my own inspiration was based upon a superb blog navigation device on Ian Tregillis' site created by Richard Mueller of 3232 design. His superb bit of Adobe Flash was really inspirational and it made me want to complete it (the original only shows 50% of the device and was limited to running on flash only web-pages within the browser). My version will add functionality and will run on your Mac or Windows desktop. See the original here: [link] - This link won't work well on ipads or other devices that don't support flash.

Don't want to bore you with too many links but you do need to note - This widget requires Rainmeter 2.5 to operate. Download Rainmeter from here:

Thanks

~Mistikfantasy May 11, 2013

i've tried it out it's fantastic, usually i like techonlogic skins like "Blue Vision" but this is something amazing. thanks again

~yereverluvinuncleber May 12, 2013

Thankyou.

I was already impressed by the yahoo widget, but don't use the yahoo widget engine anymore. Now of course I am happy that you have developed this widget with Mordasius for Rainmeter and look forward to your further cooperation. Two excellent artists have found each other and there is much to do

Thank you very much.

Hope to do so more - time available and God willing...

In practical terms, it is difficult to find the time to redevelop something for another engine when the original is still working perfectly on yahoo widgets. I receive no benefit from redeveloping onto a new platform. Unless I can find a way of making it pay for itself then redevelopment of them all is unlikely. In total I have received £15 in donations from over 1,000,000 downloads. These days people want something for nothing and very few are willing to pay.

Think of the engine as that, merely an engine. you can rainmnter and YWE! at the same time, just hide the consoles.

All programs require a runtime engine. .NET is bundled with windows as is the VB6 runtime. Your programs would not run without these engines. So, you are already running more than one engine - It does not really matter.

I hope you have not misunderstood me. "There is so much to do" was a quote from Agatha Christie's Poirot, not really meant seriously and no shoving.

~yereverluvinuncleber May 10, 2013

I don't think you were shoving, don't worry.

I was merely telling it how it is. A down-trodden house-husband with a web and graphics business, three kids and a demanding wife. Washing machine and car to fix &c &c. The steampunk stuff is what I'd like to do, I have just found no way to make it pay...
