Welcome to my first Rainmeter Suite! "Edge" is a powerful Rainmeter Suite that focuses on providing multiple User support for your different needs based on location, situation, or Windows machine, while delivering the latest Rainmeter features through a wide variety of skins. Furthermore, "Edge" is designed to provide a very easy environment for theming, making it the only suite that will be able to transform to match *any* Windows Visual Style (more about "Themes" in the future).

Skins included:

  • Actions
  • Chat
  • Clock (Digital/Analog)
  • ColorPicker
  • Date
  • Gmail
  • Google Reader
  • Launcher
  • Music Player
  • Notes
  • Quotes
  • Google Search
  • System
  • Wallpaper
  • Weather
  • Youtube


Rainmeter 2.4 beta r1598 is required. Get it from here.

General Guide

When you install "Edge", the Start skin will be loaded automatically. It is a wizard skin, which will guide you through the necessary steps to use the suite. Creating a User is mandatory. Even if you just want to use "Edge" without all the extra User features, you must create a new User.
Lastly, the wizard prompts you to enter some more variables, and explain how skins work. It will be expanded in the future.

Skin abilities

Most of the skins come with some shared abilities, to create a consistent suite experience. Some of them include:
  • The Edit button: This button launches a GUI which let you easily change User variables. RIGHT click opens the variables file in your default config editor.
  • MIDDLE click: Middle clicking on ANY skin background will close the skin. Personal Preference, so I would like your opinion about that.
  • Hover: Hovering many skins enables some buttons and options that weren't visible before.
  • Scroll wheel: Many skins support scrolling for changing pages and items. Make sure to check that out.


PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE visit the the forum thread, where a FAQ, detailed Instructions and help are waiting for you. Also, consider that this is a stable, but beta release, so there may be problems. Please try to contact me, to get them solved.

There's a problem: the launcher can't display more than 8 apps though I believe I have set app9 and app10 correctly

This is exactly what I have been looking for. I've always loved wallpapers but hated how big they looked on my 32" TV or even a monitor. The wallpaper skin is EXACTLY what I needed! On top of that, everything is nice, clean, semi-transparent, and has an easy interface! I do admit I was confused on everything at first, but I looked through the comments, support, FAQ, and used logic to piece everything together. I came through and am developing my most favorite desktop EVER! I've never been so happy. :) Suggestions from myself are possibly fixing the YouTube Thumbnails(I don't know if they work or not.), give us the option to stick with one quote that we like in the quote skin, a Twitter feed skin, a Facebook feed skin, fix the artwork in the music player(I don't know if this even works either.), give us the ability to change/have more music programs compatible with the music player skin(if it's not already available, let us make the Gmail feed skin use other mail website such as Hotmail, and I think that about does it for me. I really want to thank you for this awesome skin and all it has to offer! I'm very picky with my skins, well, anything really, and yours was picked as the best! I'd really like my suggestions to be implemented as well. I saw on the forum thread that you are dealing with school and completely understand that, but I just want you to know that I absolutely love this skin! :) Thanks again!

Do you refer to the wallpaper skin? Or the preview's wallpaper? If you have a problem with a skin, please open the Log and send me a note with the issue that appears. :)
