Wallpaper Engine

• Get wallpaper engine on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/431960/Wallpaper_Engine/
• Download (by subscribing to) the Holy Wallpaper Batman! workshop item: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2235527612
  • This includes the background image as well as the shine, fog, and embers effects

Rainmeter

• Install Rainmeter (v4.3.1): https://www.rainmeter.net/
• Install VisBubble (v3.4.1): https://www.deviantart.com/undefinist/art/VisBubble-Round-Visualizer-for-Rainmeter-488601501
  • Disable Draggable and Keep on screen
  • Enable Click through
  • Set coordinates to 361, -120 and position to On desktop
  • Copy Settings.inc file through explorer
  • Mirror patch: see visbubble_mirror_patch.md
• Install IsFullScreen (v3.0): https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=28305
  • The goal is to completely disable VisBubble when inside a fullscreen window (to save on system resources)
  • Note that this only triggers for fullscreen windows, not simply maximized windows
  • Copy IsFullScreen.ini settings
  • Set skin transparency to ~100%
• Install IconHider (v1.0): https://www.deviantart.com/bman8444/art/Icon-Hider-Button-1-0-593796963
  • The goal is to show/hide desktop icons by clicking the top right corner of the screen
  • Setup with batmanbutton.png (24px by 24px), it should be invisible against the black background
  • Set coordinates to 1898, 0

Taskbar

• CenterTaskbar (v1.3): https://github.com/mdhiggins/CenterTaskbar
  • Right click the tray icon and enable Start with Windows
• TransluscentTB (v2020.2): https://github.com/TranslucentTB/TranslucentTB
  • Install from the Microsoft Store
  • Right click the tray icon and enable Open at boot
  • Set: Regular -> Clear, Maximized window -> Opaque, Start Menu opened -> Clear, Cortana/Search opened -> Clear, Timeline opened -> Clear
  • The goal here is to hide the wallpaper when in a maximized window because Wallpaper Engine will be paused and we will have embers and fog suspended in time that we don't want to see

Start Button

• Install Open-Shell (v4.4.152): https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu
• Enable Replace start button and browse to batlogo.png
• Keep the default start menu by going into Basic Settings tab and disabling Open-Shell Menu

Cmder

• Download cmder: https://cmder.net/
• Install Rusty theme to ConEmu config: https://github.com/joonro/ConEmu-Color-Themes/blob/master/screenshots.org#rusty
• Enable Quake Mode and Auto Tab Bar in ConEmu config
• Disable Auto minimize to TSA
• Pin cmder to taskbar
• Remember: Win + Alt + P to open settings, Ctrl + T to open a new tab

Windows General

• Right click on the deskop background and disable View > Show desktop icons
• Set Windows' accent color to Default blue
• Pin important programs to the taskbar
• Remove unnecessary items from the taskbar
• Remove unnecessary items from the start menu
• Remove unnecessary items from the context menu
• Remove unnecessary items from the lock screen
• Set lock screen background to holy_wallpaper_batman.png
• Apply custom icons to pinned taskbar items

Information=Demonstrates IsFullScreen Plugin.
; This plugin will check to see if the "foreground" window, the window that currently has
; "focus", is full screen. The measure will return 1 as the number value if so, and
; 0 as the number value if not. The name of the process for the currently focused window will
; be returned as the string value. An empty string will be returned if the Desktop has focus.

; Note that this is not about "maximized", but rather "full screen".
; Note that this applies to full screen windows on the "primary" monitor only.
; Note that this will be unable to detect any process run "As administrator" unless Rainmeter itself is run "As administrator".

; General FAQ:
; - HAVING PROBLEMS WITH AUDIO FREEZING?
; --- Reduce the FFTDecay value below.
; - USING TOO MUCH CPU?
; --- Reduce the NumOfItems, or FFTSize & FFTOverlap, or even increase the Update rate in individual files
