  • Layouts : If the author has added a layout to the package it will be installed in the RainmeterLayouts folder. If Apply included layout is selected, the layout will be applied to Rainmeter following installation.
  • Plugins : If the author has added custom plugins to the package the appropriate 32bit/64bit architecture version of the plugin .dll files will be installed to the RainmeterPlugins folder.

Before Rainmeter 1.3, most skins had to be unzipped and moved to the Skins folder by hand. All versions of Rainmeter are 100% backwards-compatible, so these older skins will still work just fine. Here is how to install them:

Rmskin Installer Download Free

First of all, if a skin comes in an archive, such as a ZIP, RAR or 7Z file, software is needed to 'extract' them. 7-Zip is one of the popular choices, since it can handle almost any archive type. After installing the software, right-click the archive in Explorer to extract it.

The archive may include a readme.txt file with further instructions. If not, look for a folder with the same name as the skin - it might be inside another folder that is actually called 'Skins'. Move the folder to the Rainmeter 'Skins' folder:

C:UsersYourNameDocumentsRainmeterSkins1

1. 'YourName' is an example.
