I would love to see a Rainlendar section on this site.
I find this little programme or piece of eye candy (however you view it) as a great addition to any desktop.
I know you can get them from other sites but lets face it vertually all the best skinners in the world are on this site and it is most probably the most visited site in the world for skinning.
I have seen some great Rainlendar skins over the time that i have been a member here and most have been made from artists that are members of this site.
Whats more - just take a look at a lot of peoples screenshots and desktops and you will see how popular it is.
I bet it would be far popular than some of the other libraries like Cool Player to name just one.
I would like to know what you other guys and gels think of this and perhaps if there is sufficient support than we can ask this to be considered at staff level by Wincustomize.

i too would love to see a rainlendar section on this site..it would be great..it wouldnt add a lot of traffic to the network because the files are small..and there are a lot of great skins that rainys can be made for. And we also have DX Object looking rainys..that would be cool to have them on the rainy section too. Thanks for starting this section and i hope that with all the inputs..the rainy section could be added on the wonderful wincustomize library. thank you....PhrozenMenace

I too would like to see a rainlendar section. That way I would not have to include them along my sysmetrix skins.
Thanks LoneCactus

Look at post #2.
Yes I do know what Object Desktop is. However that has nothing to do with my opinion that a lot of people use Rainlender and therefore it would be nice to have a library for it. This thread is about what people think about it and I don't think you have to use it to make a comment.

You can count me in too It's a hassle sometimes to include them with the SysMetrix....which by the way I started 
But it would be great to have a rainlendar section!

Alot of people seem to be having problems moving the Rainy skin to the appropriate folder as stated on this board. Designating its own section would alleviate this problem for both enduser and designer.

Don't need it myself.... HoverDesk takes care of that.

neither the HoverDesk nor the DesktopX calendars have the same functionality as Rainlendar. Rainlendar exists as a LiteStep module and standalone app since three and a half years and is doing well. personally i´d rather like to see it to be continued the same way as before than having Rainy (and not "the people who make Rainlendar") providing support for thousands of idiots who are too dumb to read the documentation.
"Alot of people seem to be having problems moving the Rainy skin to the appropriate folder". that´s because the skinners are doing it wrong and use hard-coded paths in their INI files.

| #21 by Leo the Lion - 9/25/2003 2:33:12 PM KG........i do not wish to appear a "smart alec" but the largest library that i can find is more than you have stated. DA has around 200 Rainlendar skins. |
I stand corrected. I had looked at their "official" library, which points to skinbase. Skinbase has 71 skins for it. I gave up long ago trying to find anything on DA, so I never look there anymore.

I like and have used Rainlendar for years both on low end W98 boxes and new XP boxes. I've found it a trouble-free and undemanding product to use which I could not say of DX on older w98 PC's. (In my experience, that is, and I'm not suggesting that it was a fault of the program; clearly it was due to the the limitations of the older systems I used, hardware and OS wise).
At any rate, DX is undoubtedly cool, but there are reasons I may not want it running, whereas Rainlendar just sits there giving me what I want. Having one product is not always or necessarily a substitute for another.
Anyway, thanks up above for the tips regarding Rainlendar skins on DA. DA's ususally got way too much content for me to slog through but I'll see if a search will do.
(BTW, a recent WC poll showed the majority of respondents wanted bootscreens and two news articles/threads resulted from that poll. Despite the poll's results, no bootscreen library here as far as I'm aware. Not a problem for me since I didn't choose that anyway and walls can be used for bootscreens. The second runner up app I don't believe has yet gotten a library either. Rainlendar, although often requested on the messageboard, was not a choice in the poll. So polls, wiedespread use of a genre/app and popular demand alone clearly does not result in the creation of a library here if the man (and or others) behind the curtain don't want it or aren't prepared to provide more libraries for other reasons.)

I like Rainlendar and would be nice to see a single gallery for this, bisides i think it's too simple to skin and can see problems to pic it with other application skin like Sysmetrix
...and why not do a pool to see what people think?

I would like the idea of a Rainlender section. This is all about customizing and Rainlender adds that finishing touch nicely. Plus, it's a stand-alone app that has WAY more features than anything like it. You can't really compare a DX calendar to it, they are 2 different things.

I have wondered about this also, I love Rainlendar and have to search all of the other sites for them. I see some on the screenshots and think, now where did they find that one. I always have one on my desktop and was glad to see pinchecl and Don5318 start to include them with their SysMetrix skins. I don't know what Desktop X is exactly, and if I need it with WindowBlinds or if it is to complicated for me. I would also like to see it in the libraries section.

Darco you don't need it with Windowsblind but they can certainly co-exist. It *can* be really complicated, just depends on what you want to do.
I would like to see a Rainlender section as well. I just started using it a couple of weeks ago and I really love it. I'm not really fond of any of the DesktopX calendars, not saying they're no good or anything, I just liked Rain better.
So far I haven't found a real great place for Rain skins so it would be nice. I really cannot stand trying to manuever through DA. This is the best skinning site around, let's bring the Rain...

There is no doubt about most people prefering rainlendar over other calendars just look at all the screenshots posted here at WC...and the best of all that is free. I've been using it and porting my own skins for a while and would definately like to see a rainy libray on this site.

I totally agree with the idea of having a librairy for rainlendar (i'm always in search of skins uploded on other webstites and don't find always what i'm looking for)
And in another way i was going to ask the stardock team if it was possible to add applications in WinStyles theme applications list and how !!!! Rainlendar should be one ...

Why is it rainy's are included in sysmetrix packets? It started because lots of people asked for it. I myself started by adding links to other sites where a rainy section was available but ended up including them. So, to keep things neat for everybody, shouldn't that be a reason to start a section?
