Welcome to the SkySlate, a simple yet feature-full rainmeter skin for you.

To begin with, you must have Rainmeter installed.  If you do not, download it from here:  http://rainmeter.net/cms/

Assuming you have Rainmeter installed and know something of the software, you would have already clicked on the .rmskin package and Rainmeter would have installed 
this skin.

Now here is how to set it up:

1. Open the file UserVariables.inc in Notepad.  The file should be in the same folder as this file.
2. Enter all the variables as instructed.
3. Load the skin.  It is still not complete.
4. Right Click on the skin and scroll down to the Applications and Folders sections.  You should see something like this:
   [App1]
   Meter=Image
   ImageName=
   x=1050
   y=48
   leftmouseupaction=!execute ["#App1Link#"]

   This would be the case with 6 Apps and 6 Folders.  For each of them, the ImageName= is empty.  The .png icons are given in the same folder as this file.  Here is 
   a list of the Applications and Folders for which I have provided icons:
   
Apps:
Avast Antivirus
Bittorrent
CCleaner
Chrome
DC++
Dropbox
Evernote
Excel
FileZilla
Firefox
FLStudio
Foobar
GIMP
GOM Player
Google Music
Groove Shark
iTunes
Opera
Outlook
Paint
Photoshop
Powerpoint
Rainmeter
Tune Up Utilities
uTorrent
VirtualBox
Visual Studio
VLC Player
Winamp
Word

Folders:
Documents
Downloads
Explorer
Images
Libraries
Music
Videos

   For each of your selected apps and folders, find the respective icon and add that after the ImageName=.  So for example, if my App1 is Photoshop, it will look like this:
   [App1]
   Meter=Image 
   Imagename=Photoshop.png
   x=1050
   y=48
   leftmouseupaction=!execute ["#App1Link#"]

   And so on.  If your app or folder is not in this list, you can use the file _Blank_.png

That's it, now your skin is all set.  Hit refresh and enjoy.  Please look to my comments page on DeviantArt for the list of credits.  The fonts, images and icons used
in this skin are not mine.
