A Rainlender skin to look just like Active Desktop Calendar

from Stardock Forums

I'm new to Rainlender, but I was wondering if there is any skin that looks like Active Desktop Calendar (or even just a skin that will fit nicely on the right side of my laptop screen (15"), all the way from top to bottom?)

 

Oh, and if this is in the wrong category then I apologize

while Rainmeter is awesome, i think the op is looking for a Rainlendar skin like this:

hard to tell though, "active desktop calendar" could mean anything. a screenshot would help.

Years ago, sounds strange right, I made a rainy that looked like a door. Had all twelve months on it but the only one that would change was the current one. I forget what happened to it. that went from top to bottom.

I edit mine. There might be on the skin you are using a place for height on the window you are using. Turn on advanced when choosing a skin. The skin I'm using most recent I'm using the calendar widened a tad and the events widened to match it and made 500 long. I put them one under the other.

If the file is a modern one, it uses the same trick as Wincustomize files - it is a zip file in disguise. This way you can tinker with it yourself.

 

 

I use about 20 ics files, both active and static. I'm using the 64-bit version of Pro and this skin is called Chromophore. Not all skins use the cute little pictures as shown here, and fixing a skin so it uses them is possible but I'm not very great at it.
