Now it's time to install Omnimo UI If you don't already have the Segue UI Light font installed on your computer, you'll need to install the included font file via the right-click menu, or by dragging it into the Fonts folder. On my Windows 7 test machine, this font was already there, but it doesn't hurt to double-check, or just re-install it to make sure. Windows will warn you if it's already installed, so you can just stop the installation if you get that warning. Now that you have all of that out of the way, you can launch the Rainstaller utility included in the Omnimo download; it will add the skins and themes to the appropriate Rainmeter folders. You'll want to make sure you have Rainmeter closed before running through this process.<img src="http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/17/2010/03/340x_sshot-2010-03-29-_02-48-49_-_1_.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />When it fires up, click on the Custom Install button if you need to adjust where it installs the skins; the Express Install should work for most people (if you installed Rainmeter with all the defaults, for example, you should be fine choosing the Express Install). When the installation is done, keep the Launch Rainmeter on exit checkbox ticked and click Finish (well, there's a typo, so technically you're clicking Finnish).Rainmeter will fire back up, and this time you're looking at your newly installed Omnimo desktop—which should look very similar to the screenshot below:<img src="http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/17/2010/03/500x_welcome.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Tweaking OmnimoOnce you've launched Rainmeter with the Omnimo skin, you'll be presented with the welcome screen (above), and then the Gallery view (below), where you can choose between loads of different panels, skins, and backgrounds.<img src="http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/17/2010/03/500x_sshot-2010-03-29-_02-55-26_-_1_.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Simply click the icons to add the widgets to the screen, and then drag them wherever you'd like; the skins change the background color of the squares, and the backgrounds put an overlay over your wallpaper, if you have one. If you want to get back to the gallery later, you can just click the little plus symbol to open it again.<img src="http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/17/2010/03/340x_sshot-2010-03-29-_02-15-00_-_1_.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Now that you have the widgets on the desktop, it's time to configure them by hovering over the widget until the tiny icons appear in the upper right-hand corner, and then using the wrench to open the configuration screen. Not all widgets have configuration, and you should note that if you use the X to close a widget, you can always add it back from the gallery.Using the wrench icon launches you into the EnigmaConfigure utility built into Rainmeter-each widget will have separate configuration parameters that you can set, like this one for choosing your Yahoo! Weather location.<img src="http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/17/2010/03/340x_sshot-2010-03-29-_02-15-39_-_1_.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Some of the widgets don't have configuration at all, but instead have an arrow that will let you rotate between views or functions. For instance, on the web browser widget, you can use the arrow to switch the default from Internet Explorer to a browser that isn't quite as lame—or on the calendar widget, using the arrow switches between views.<img src="http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/17/2010/03/340x_sshot-2010-03-29-_02-56-16_-_1_.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Readers should note that using the Win+D shortcut key combination to show the desktop will also hide Rainmeter, and all of your widgets, so you'll probably want to resort to using the Win+M shortcut key combination to minimize all windows. Omnimo is a free download for Windows, requires Rainmeter 1.1 or higher.</blockquote>
