How To Download Rainmeter Skins From Deviantart

I think the all-time link to get to new Rainmeter skins is:

https://www.deviantart.com/search/deviations/visual-art/resources/digital-art?guild=almost-recent&q=rainmeter

This assumes that the author either created a "search tag" of "rainmeter" on the submission, or has "rainmeter" somewhere in the description of the peel.

The "categories" that the new Eclipse theme uses for existing Rainmeter skins is in the following tree:

visual-art / resource / digital-fine art

So if you put your skin there, and "tag" information technology with "rainmeter", that seems like the best style to get visibility for your skin in the new setup. Using "tags" is going to be super-important going forward, unless you lot want your skin lost in the vast sea of degenerate furry art.

I would tag anything new I submitted with at least "rainmeter" and "skin", and so any other tags that zero in on the functionality of the skin.

Stuff like "clock" or "conditions" or whatever...

This is inevitable. There is no point in fighting it, equally although Y'all tin can stay on the former theme if you have an existing deviantART account, NONE of the audience yous are trying to accomplish will exist able to. I would suggest just biting the bullet and switching to the new Eclipse theme, and then you lot tin start getting used to how to alive in this environment.

As of this writing, the "Rainmeter Group" page and functionality has non been inverse to the new Eclipse theme. The current link of https://www.deviantart.com/rainmeter still works, and hopefully fifty-fifty when the "fashion" changes before long, the link and functionality volition remain the same. This makes it even more important that you submit your skins to the Rainmeter Group, as that may be the all-time way to get them the right kind of visibility in the future.

I will be changing the Rainmeter main site to reverberate the new theme in whatever links to deviantART for Rainmeter, and you should go far the habit of using the new link I posted above when asked how to find Rainmeter stuff on deviantART going forward. At that place literally is no point in using the old "category-based" links from earlier, every bit they just won't piece of work. The user will just be dumped on the deviantART chief page, and.. run across vast bounding main of degenerate furry fine art above...

A direct link directly to your specific skin submission however works, and presumably will keep to work, as information technology always has. That is non impacted by this change.

This is what you desire to end up with:

1) The link for your audience to "download" your .rmskin.
2) The "category tree" your skin lives in.
3) The "search tags" assigned to your submission. The more of these the better...
