Rainmeter Skins For Windows 10

Win10 Widgets

Win10 Widgets

Win10 Widgets is the only Rainmeter skin in our list that was designed specifically for Windows 10. Windows 10 doesn’t contain any widgets so this skin seems to fill the gap. This skin can mimic the Windows 10 UI. Also, the widgets seem great besides if you have a dark or light background, and there are also few skins on the list that are in variable sizes for its widgets. You can also use it stand-alone, or you can combine it with other, more fun skins.

Obsidian

Obsidian

Obsidian is simple or plain skin that has a basic date, time, CPU, network, drive, and weather widgets. If you need a plain skin that seems good in Windows 10 but can’t copy the exact UI as Win10 Widgets does, this is it. It doesn’t contain lots of customization options as Win10 Widgets and you want to use it with other skins if you’re wondering to change your desktop. However, the widgets are bordered so they seem good on both a light or dark background.

P I L E U S Suite

P I L E U S Suite

It stands out from all the rest due to its look. Whenever we think about Windows 10, we think of translucent effects, solid color boxes, and flat design. This skin display that you don’t want to flatten and box everything to make it seems good on Windows 10. Also, it adds the best aesthetic to the flat UI. In widgets, the default font size used in a bit small, and it can’t look great on a dark background unless you edit the font color.

Galaxy Suite Rainmeter

Galaxy Suite Rainmeter

Galaxy Suite Rainmeter is best for darker backgrounds. Just like other skins, you can edit it but its default options make it more smooth for the dark desktop themed. The widgets are very large so unless you have a big monitor attached to your PC, they will take up storage space. Personally, I love this one as it provides the CPU temperature which not many skins can do.

B + W Rainmeter

B + W Rainmeter provides stylized widgets. Also, it provides you an easy to read information but if you are looking at the widgets won’t get irritating. No doubt this is an amazing skin to merge with others on this list.

Fog

Fog-Rainmeter Skins For Windows 10

Fog is another skin that wasn’t designed with Windows 10 but it ends up looking like it is a part of UI. It’s not trying to follow with the Windows 10 aesthetics. Rather than, it has its own take on a solid color, flat design, and a touch of transparency. You can also use it on a light background if you like but you will find it’s good on a dark background.

City Spaces

City Spaces

City Spaces is an amazing Rainmeter skin with visual elements that you can add to your display. We’re talking bars or dividers that help to organize or manage a desktop. It has few widgets so unless you want bare minimum information. So, here is a skin that you’ll be using with many other skins to make everything seems good and well put together.

Elementary

Elementary is the best balance between stylized icons or legible text-based widgets. If you don’t like anything too crazy on your PC desktop but would like something that is not packed, this is the best skin to work with.

Harmattan

Harmattan

Harmattan provides one widget but it also provides you the information you’d want. It seems good on Windows 10, the text isn’t quite small so that you’re blinking at your screen to get the time. The skin is best suited for a dark background. If you don’t want to customize a skin, this is the best choice.

Simplistic

Simplistic-Rainmeter Skins For Windows 10

Simplistic provides a white or black set of widgets. As it makes the skin brilliant for any type of background image. The widgets play with the effects of transparency and a box UI. Everything is present in a box and the icons or text play a bit with transparency. It has system, date, weather, time, drive, media player, Gmail, and uTorrent widgets. The wallpaper is not included.

Elegance 2

Elegance 2 is a very popular Rainmeter skin that we can’t add to this list. Mostly it’s the skin doesn’t seem good on either a dark or light background. Also, you can use it but you end up spending too much time looking for the right wallpaper to move with it. We are mentioning it because of all the skins we examined are listed here, this is the only one that provides a UI for modifying clock color. You can also use it to match your Windows 10 accent color.
