    How many of you guys tried this on your alienware and how does the system run? I know they take up more resources, but I've seen some people on here use them.

    Is rainmeter the best? Or do you guys just stick with the default desktops shipped from the factory on your alienware?

    I like it. Do you have to customize that using the rainmeter prog? I looked and they had sample packs on there site, i.e. "Enigma" but I wanted something less "happy " looking .

    Does it make the computer run slower?

    what about alienguise?
