just type dpi into the windows start search bar, choose adjust text etc. If that picture you showed is of your own taskbar than it is changed from default, which would be what is causing the aliasing problem at the least.Mechanical Snowman said:Yeah I saw the post before you edited and to test it out I downloaded some random ones I found on Google; same problem.
Here's an example of the artifacting round the edge:This is apparent on every custom orb I select, though the original Win7 orb is smoothly anti aliased as it should be.
Hmm, how do I check my DPI, is that the same as resolution? My monitor is 1080x1920 and that is the resolution I'm on according the the Appearance and Personalisation page.
By the way, thanks for trying to help so far, I really appreciate it.
Ok i changed the DPI on my computer and used the orb changer, that is definitely the issue at hand. You have two solutions:
1) Change the DPI to something like 124%. Fonts will be very, very slightly smaller (I don't even think it's noticeable). To do this, you go to the DPI config I told you about in my previous post, and then click "set custom size (DPI)" on the left. Then you can just drag the ruler one pixel so that it's 124% instead of 125%, click apply, then log off and on again. The orbs should work like normal then.
2) Use the new orb changer i linked in my previous post. Like I said buggy in my experience, but DPI scaling is one of the things it's noted to fix over the old version.

That's not a taskmanager, they're performance meters, but yes they are part of rainmeter. Looks to be the default Enigma theme too.Sheppard said:
e: just a tip to those of you who are on desktops and so don't have the battery meter shown, make sure you've set your power options to high performance. Windows sets it to power saver by default, in some sort of a terrible decision someone had.

I love you.Threi said:
Font size difference is negligible, and the start orb animation and graphics are perfect! Such an obscure solution, I would have never have discovered it.
Now to go and look for some nice orbs.
Edit: while I'm in here, how extensive are Rainmeter's hardware monitoring features? Can you monitor individual cores and GPU / CPU temperature etc?

I think it's easier to make something "cool" on a background with darker colors. I was going through the thread trying to get something that worked and came to the conclusion that the bright colors make it way too hard. I want to do more but that won't be happening with these wallpapers.
Adam Hughes's art is just awesome. :thumbs up

I took a spin on the Emma Stone desktop and edited the text a bit
I blacked out the tits on the pen just in case.

No kidding... the 3 wallpapers I wanted still haven't been posted. I guess reading the OP and/or the title of the thread is just too much work for some people.
