The Presidium of the Citadel bustled about as it had for centuries. Beings of many races moved with purpose across the arching bridges that spanned manicured parks. Few gave the armored, blond haired human more than a glance as they went about their various tasks. Military personal rarely had free range on the Presidium.

Escape A green and blue armored figure smashed through the upper portion of the large glass windows of the forty-sixth floor offices of the Myers & Myers Accounting Firm. Catching the edge of the concrete slab that divided the forty-sixth and forty-seventh floors had sent the figure cart-wheeling toward the unforgiving floor. Clipping the edge of Juliette Harrison's cubicle wall sent the report she had just printed off flying about the office. After bouncing once on the floor and destroying the floor-to-ceiling glass wall of the conference room the uncontrolled path of the man came to a halt on top of the mahogany veneered table that dominat

Mass Effect Colonist Rainmeter Skinby ~RickF7666

Customization / Skins & Themes / System Monitoring / Rainmeter

This is my modified version of UrulokiBurning Mass Effect Rainmeter skin [link] although obviously green. My nephew liked my Mass Effect skin, but wanted it green. He also suggested suggested giving it the name "Colonist" as apposed to just "green".

His is very cool, but there were a few things I wanted to change, and one change led to another and three weeks later I've taught myself how to make Rainmeter skins, well as a beginner I suppose.

While his and mine do look very similar there are a lot of code changes. I also changed a lot of the graphics files, I even went back to the Mass Effect game and took a lot of screenshots of the interface to hopefully improve some of the elements. I guess you'll be the judge of that.

I have not included all of the pieces that come with his skin as I thought they were redundant or I consolidated them. The only skin I included but did not touch was the Media Player. I don't play music on my gaming PC, but maybe someone else would. All credit goes to UrulokiBurning for that one.

A few notes on what I added.

CPU Monitor: It should detect how many processor cores your PC has and display the correct number of gauges. Also it "should" detect if you have an Intel or AMD processor and display the correct icon to the left of the gauges. As I don't have an PC with an AMD processor I can't exactly test that.

Hard Drive Monitor: Is set to monitor drives C: and D:, although you can change that. Click on the icon for the drive and it will change which drives stats show up. I also created some icons to represent four common hard drive manufacturers and you can set a different one for each drive by clicking on the icon. It will cycle though the four possibilities.

I want to thank UrulokiBurning and anyone who's work went into his skins as well as the people on the Rainmeter forums for helping me with learning Rainmeter.

As this is my second try at a Rainmeter skin please let me know if something isn't working. As I did this with the latest release of Rainmeter, if you are having problems check to make sure you have the most recent buildl 2.1 [link]

By the way the tabs at the top of the screenshot are the skin I created for sTabLauncher [link]

For those who want the wallpaper here is the link [link]

You need SpeedFan, which is needed for the monitoring things like the temp of the CPU and Hard Drives. So here it is. [link]

Edit: I've uploaded a new version of the skin to correct the pathing problem that Qwaftzefoni74 pointing out.

Hey The best part is missing, The top bar!!

~RickF7666 Mar 23, 2013

If you read the description it has a link to the sTabLauncher skin I created to go with both of my Mass Effect Rainmeter skins.

~chopperrino Mar 23, 2013

Oh never mind, I gotta read descriptions :s

Both of your Mass Effect skins are really great!
The only problem I am having is with the Hard Drive Monitor. I want to change it to monitor the F drive instead of D. My D drive is my disk drive and changing the letter and path of the drives will cause too many issues with other programs.

~RickF7666 Mar 14, 2013

All the monitor information is provided to Rainmeter by SpeedFan. SpeedFan doesn't use drive letters to identify the drive, it uses a number. So take a look at SpeedFan to try to determine what number you have to use.

~Markorix Feb 4, 2013

Wow, It is just amazing. Great work! I will try this and see how it looks

~RickF7666 Feb 4, 2013

Thanks and please read the instructions. Changing things to your local settings can be confusing if you don't read the instructions.

~TelonPryde Dec 21, 2012
