[Feature Suggestion] Alternative aesthetical style #2

Open LinguaOccultus opened 1 year ago

LinguaOccultus commented 1 year ago

Hello!

First of all: compliments for the really good work and thanks for sharing it! =) This is by far one of the very best skin suites for Rainmeter I have seen so far (and I have seen A LOT of them).

That said, there are mostly two large groups of Rainmeter users: the more technical oriented and the more aestetical oriented (and a few poor souls like myself which try to get the best out of both worlds XD). So, most skins feature wether more features or better visuals.

This does not mean that your skin is not very well developed, but it has a very basic, very special and very technical look not everyone will favor. And this is a sad thing since this suite is THAT good! ;-)

I therefore would like to suggest adding wether an alternative version or at least variants of the widgets in a different visual style. To give you an idea of what I am talking about, let me point you at the also very good »Sonder« named suite, which has more of the visuals but less functionality: https://www.deviantart.com/michaelpurses/art/Sonder-Rainmeter-skin-838147223

I am especially missing an option for no backgrounds so being able to better embed the widgets to an existing desktop design. Also, an alternative light font would be much appreciated; best, some nice handwriting style (at least for the big clock digits, for example).

The best one can get currently is, setting opacity to 0%. But that results in massive issues everywhere and many minor visual glitches.

I would really like to see this great suite getting interesting to more users and hope, there will be active development and many new featured in the future! =)

Cheers!
