What Makes a Great Rainmeter Skin?

The best Rainmeter skins balance three things: visual design, useful information, and performance. A great skin looks good on your desktop without slowing your PC, displays data you actually want to see, and installs cleanly without requiring complex setup. Every skin in this collection has been reviewed for all three.
