..NOW UPDATED!


Current version: 1.01b
- Changed the taskbar and removed the secondary option.
- Changed fonts and sizes. Also disabled AntiAliasing.
- Removed the dropdown !bang lists and added links instead.
- Removed the Start Button and Tasks functionality.
- Removed the clock from the taskbar and wrote a standalone skin for it.
- Added a Spotify control skin written for the taskbar.
- Added a Winamp control skin written for the taskbar.
- Added a Gmail notifier skin which displays new emails.

NOTE: Only tested on native 1920x1080p monitor but should work on any resolution.

History:
LoveKush is what I called a Rainmeter skin I wrote for myself whilst trying to clean up my desktop.
My roommate saw the skin and asked what it was called and who made it: I told him it's called LoveKush,
he laughed and asked if I was serious. For those of you who don't get it: ..really? - He tested the
skin for me and soon after I released a screenshot here on dA. I got some good feedback and after a little bit
more testing I released the skin. I abandoned the project long ago. I had great things in mind for LoveKush
but it got pushed aside for other projects. When I saw it's one of the 100 most popular Rainmeter skins of all
time on deviantART I decided to re-touch it and hopefully make it worthwhile having installed.

Features:
- Customizeable "taskbar" or "objectbar" for Rainmeter.
- Standalone clock skin with similar design as the taskbar.
- Standalone Spotify control skin which fits on the actual bar.
- Standalone Winamp control skin similar to the Spotify one.
- Standalone Gmail Notifier, displaying how many new mails you've got.
- A "menubar" with some graphics and extra shortcuts.
- Drop shadow effect beneath the bar, looks good on dark wallpapers.

Original post REMOVED.
Feel free to modify. But releasing a mod as your own is a douche move (:

So I really love this, but is there any way to change the color of the background bar? I have some basic knowledge but not very much and I cant seem to find a way to do it.

Yup, both are just static .png files. Go into the skins folder and find them, then just make a new document in Photoshop with the same dimensions. Should be fairly easy.

Alright, Thank you. I'm not sure why I think of that.

Same applies to the "start button" - Just remember to change the IMG=...png in the document, or name your files the same as I did in the skins folder. When I made this I didn't know about the user menu-thing where everything is easy to edit for the user. And it's been so long, opening and working on this again would just be a pain. So sorry about that.

Its no problem at all. I can manage all that myself I just had no clue where to find it. All the syntax is really the most confusing part for me. Thanks again for the advice and the skin.

Hey really liking the design on this one. Just curious for a beginner not sure how to set the text paths to 1. a program on my computer and 2. to a website. Even if you point me in the right direction of what to Google or look for because I cannot find anything. Thanks!

Great job, though I do have a little bit criticism, if you don't mind (maybe to improve on future revisions)

I love the grey taskbar, works perfect on my current build of Windows 8. Though I have to say, it would be a great idea for the drop out menus to fade away when you click on another link.

Great Job :) Thank you.
I have a question. How do I hide Windows 7 taskbar ?

Right-click the taskbar, properties and auto-hide taskbar.
