Power to four-hundred percent c`pacity.
The cool, and of course free, Iron Man J.A.R.V.I.S Windows 7 theme that every Iron Man fanatic has been dreaming of.
S.H.I.E.L.D?: As you can see from the screenshot above, this theme is based on the SHIELD operating system that's seen in the Avengers movie. It's also designed to give it the J.A.R.V.I.S hud feel making it a personalized design for all Iron Man/Tony Stark fans.
What to expect: This theme will change the way your desktop and shortcuts function. It'll make everything running applications and multi-tasking more efficient. Of course, all this as a bonus to a slick look.
A Word of Caution: This method is fairly simple, takes about 15-30 minutes to set up and can be considered mid-level desktop customization. However it is advised you follow my instructions carefully.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Background: Let's start by getting the great wallpaper put together by edreyes. Just save the image and set is as your background.
Rainmeter: Next thing you need to do is get Rainmeter, the perfect customization tool. Download and install it. Make sure you choose the 'run on startup' option during installation.
Once you've installed it and have it running you should have several default illustro skins showing up on your desktop.

Rainmeter has many such skins and we are going to download and install one particular SHIELD skin to bring together that Iron Man look. You can move any Rainmeter skin around by simply clicking and draggin. Right clicking a skin gives you several options. But more on that later. For now, let's move on to getting our SHIELD skin.
S.H.I.E.L.D OS skin by Daelnz:
This will be the base skin around which we'll build our theme. Download the skin and you'll have a .rmskin file. Run it and hit install. After installation, go to your desktop and right click on any of the skins and do the following on the menu that pops up.
Rainmeter -> Themes -> S.H.I.E.L.D. OS
Right click -> Rainmeter -> Themes -> Shield OS |
Once you select S.H.I.E.L.D OS, you'll have something like this.

On a side note, you can disable all desktop icons by right clicking on the desktop and selecting and View -> Show Desktop Icons.
The easy part is over. Now it's only a matter of editing things to your preference. For starters, if you right click on any skin, you'll have an option called Avengers in the menu. The sub-options in this menu, control toggling on and off of all the skins.
Right click on a skin -> Avengers -> Toggle skins. |
