Firefly for Rainmeter

Description

By some accident, I have discovered the Rainmeter program and I was excited about it that I had to make my own skin suite. Also, it was finally a reason to clean my desktop:) It is my first rainmeter creation so those skins are mostly just altered skins of other people that I wanted to have on my computer. It isn't anything extra... but it is shiny, ain't it?:)
If you don't know Rainmeter, go to visit their pages (link bellow); in a shortcut, it is a software that allows you to display many interresting data about your PC on your desktop (CPU and Ram usage, uploaded and downloaded data...) and some other stuff.

So, what does this Skin suite do?
- Shows actual time and date
- Shows how much CPU (for 4 cores) and RAM you are using
- Shows you how much energy is there in your battery and if you are using it or are plugged in.
- Shows you how full your two disks are (I have two disks, so you know...)
- Shows you your IP address, if you are connected to a WIFI, how much data are you uploading and downloading and how many unread e-mails do you have (however, you have to be using some e-mail client on your PC, like Thunderbird or Microsof Outlook)
- The little moon works as a music player with the basic command buttons.
- And every few minutes shows you some random Chinese from Firefly and Serenity!:) (However, there is only a Czech translation, so unless you know Chinese very well, you will not enjoy this if you are English)

What you need to do to use it?
- Obviously, you need the Rainmeter and to download this skin suite.
- You will also need to set up your e-mail address in the network.ini, your media player in the music.ini (if you are using something else than Windows Media Player) and set up your location in the weather.ini. However, don't be affraid, it is pretty simlpe:)
(- If you want that thing at the top, that is a different program - RocketDock, with my little "skin" so it fits to the rest of my desktop).
- And the wallpaper which you can get here:)

Credits and links:
- Rainmeter - rainmeter.net/cms/
- Some of the skins are altered verision of basic Illustro skins made by Poiru
- The weather skin is based on Simply Weather skin made by :iconsiesie:, however, the icons are my own.
- Firefly and Serenity belongs to Joss Whedon, Fox, Universal and Browncoats:)
