Update: Enigma 2.1 (21 March 09)

A small update - a very small update - based on common problems and criticisms from 2.0.
- Setup program now obeys your computer's unique Program Files directory, so those of you having problems on non-English systems should be fine now.
- NET Icon finally fixed. Turns out I just had to add a MaxValue setting. I can't remember who reminded me of this, but thank you very much.
- Reader now clears stuck links on mouseover, so you don't have to click it anymore. Thanks to moosatov for this idea.
- MoxaWeather's easier to switch to dark icons now; you can just change a number.
- Revised instructions in various places.

Update: Wow. (25 February 09)

The DD, of course. It's quite a thing to check your account one morning and see 68 new messages. 'Tis an honor. :)

On a related note, thanks once again to Lifehacker for their continued support for this project. Quite frankly, it wouldn't be here without them.

Update: Enigma 2.0 (20 February 09)

Action shot here.

As promised, this release is focused on making the theme cleaner, faster and easier on both the user and the system. :)

Major features:
- .EXE Installer
- GUI widget manager.
- Template configs - usable right out of the box.
- Black & white variants for every widget.
- Individual story links for the RSS Reader.
- Show/hide button for Sidebar.
- New mail indicator for Gmail Icon.
The download includes a complete changelog.

Update: Thankses (6 January 09)

Thanks to Lifehacker for, I believe, the sixth feature of my work. And, since the favorites have stacked up faster than I can realistically reply to them all, thank you all very much for your approval and support. :)

Update: Enigma 1.1 (3 January 09)

Action shot here.

I've added an RSS reader, Gmail notifier, a Calendar by ~limpet, graphical system/battery widgets using ecqlipse 2 icons, a tray clock replacement, a quick-edit button for Notes, and an app launcher that's way too much fun to play with.

I also reorganized everything that was here before. Hopefully it's a little more intuitive and easier to access.

All the instructions/credits are updated accordingly. (They also reflect the Creative Commons license.)

Finally, I removed most of the wallpapers, which cuts the download size in half.

Hope you like it. Feel free to cannibalize. :)

As seen on Lifehacker.

The suite includes the following materials:

- ENIGMA
A complete config for Rainmeter. Embeds a variety of useful tools in your Windows desktop - clocks, notes, battery monitors, weather and email checkers, RSS readers, etc. The theme is organized for a complete "Taskbar" or "Sidebar" setup, or both together.

- TEMPLATES
A set of prearranged setups, in the form of replacements for Rainmeter.ini.

- CD ART DISPLAY STYLES
Because Rainmeter can't display iTunes song info, I modded a few substyles for ~Nevezen's Pure Adium to make it blend in as if it were just another Rainmeter skin.

- FONTS
All of these tend to look pretty ugly without the right fonts installed. So I've provided those.

- BONUS MATERIALS
Lastly, I've tossed in
- 1) a bonus config called "Arcs", which comes in both Rainmeter and Samurize flavors;
- 2) the original Samurize version of Enigma, as seen in the original "Lightning Sunset" setup;
- 3) a few Autohotkey scripts from the LS setup;
- 4) some wallpapers.

Instructions/troubleshooting included.

Preview wallpaper from daily dose of imagery.

Daily DeviationEnigma by ~Kaelri If it wasn't for spinegrinder, I wouldn't have seen this. I can't believe I missed it. If you don't have this awesome suite, then I can't believe you either :p (Suggested by $spinegrinder and Featured by ^mrrste)

Dude, ur work is awesome!

i noticed the pic on lifehacker, your notepad had a transparent background.

also some of my album names are too big to fit on one line so CD Art Display tries to make another line. but only the top half of the 2nd line shows up :[

any tips?
btw, thanks for introducing me to rainmeter i just cant stop writing little additions to the configs
My pleasure. :)

I made Notepad transparent via a very simple Autohotkey script, which is included in this package, actually.

As for your massive album titles, you can easily extend the width of the top line by going into CAD's skin editor's "Text area" tab.

I have a question: What did you do to get the weather into your config? I am having a really hard time getting through it all because I am fairly inexperienced with Samurize. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The weather meter is part of the Rainmeter config. Just select it from the "MoxaWeather" folder.
