Here it is, the second announced release of The Dunes skin set for Rainmeter!

The Rainmeter that thinks it's a wallpaper!

Features:
- Foreground and background that respond to time, weather (only some weather at the moment...)
- Live sun and moon
- A giant freaking clock
- Tons of settings!

Click the upper colon dot to access the setting window, where you can fiddle with all sorts of things!



Changes for the next version, Release 8:
[FIXED BUG] Plays relatively nice with non-widescreen (4:3, 5:4) aspect ratios
[FIXED BUG] Clock no longer contains an old context menu item
[FIXED BUG] Edges of some sky gradients were not fully opaque
[FIXED BUG] Sky Vignette was not displaying properly
[FIXED BUG] Aurora Forecast would time out occasionally

[ADDED] Version checking in the About tab of Settings window [link]
[ADDED] "Open Foreground Folder" button near Foreground changer in Foreground tab of Settings window [link]
[ADDED] Two new Foregrounds: Mars-related
[ADDED] 1 New Font: Mathlete Bulky [link]
[ADDED] Toggles for each config (Background, Clock, Foreground) in their respective Settings window tab
[ADDED] Shut down option for lower colon dot (instead of sleep) [link]
[ADDED] Rotating Starfield option [link]
[ADDED] Text Opacity and text color options [link]
[ADDED] Smooth blending between color states (still buggy)

[TWEAKED] Lua Script fade.lua now contains author info
[TWEAKED] Colon button opacity (200 instead of 255)
[TWEAKED] Background/Sky naming consistency (trying to call it just "Background" from now on)
[TWEAKED] Reduced memory usage of certain measures/meters (UpdateDivider=-1 when applicable)
[TWEAKED] New methods of hiding unused meters/measures (which would otherwise still be loaded in memory) means using Config Variants [link]

True. There is no way (as of yet) to get Rainmeter skins UNDER the desktop icons. It's a paradigm I have had a hard time getting used to. There are many of us that have been waiting (for some, years) for that ability. It might never come. You're welcome to unload the foreground/background and just use the clock. Let me ask you this: if I were to supplement the suite with some sort of "dock" that was actually a clear window to the desktop, would you use that? If so, where/how would you use that? Thanks for the feedback!

I think yes. If not I might just do some "shortcuts" as rainmeter skin and put them above ur suite :D

It should work relatively nicely with any resolution. It's a slow process upgrading the images, but it's in the works anyhow :)
