What you see here is ~DanteWontDie's digital art for an Alice Madness Returns FanArt book [link] with an overlay of rainmeter skins to add a little movement and display information on the desktop . I used some graphics from OrmiKoresh's AMA Icon Set [link] when making the skins so thanks *OmriKoresh.
You will need the latest beta version of Rainmeter to run these skins. Get it from here [link]

The skins have the same functionality as those in the Cogs, Tubes and Gauges collection [link] , I have simply modified the surrounds and added a few props to help them blend a little better with ~DanteWontDie's artwork.
The skins in the package are:

- Analog clock (left-click to change the clock face but you won't get rid of Alice) - watch for the steam emission every minute.
- System info with a gauge showing overall CPU usage, individual bars for up to 8 cores and smaller gauges for RAM and SWAP memory usage.
- Network activity showing upload and download speeds along with the ping return time and wifi signal strength.
- Volume control - trumpet and skull to the right of 5-Clubs. Use the mouse scroll wheel to adjust the system volume or left-click to mute.
- Gauges for used space on 1-4 hard drives (gratuitous pendulum thingamebob for one or two disks).
- Weather skin with analog gauges for temperature, barometric pressure and wind direction. Click the forecast icon for a 72-hour forecast from the Weather Channel.
- uTorrent tracker using Lua script adapted from LuaTorrent3.1 by Jeffrey Morley [link]
- RSS/Atom feedreader built around Kaelri's Reader.lua script [link] .Feed items are sorted by date/time and anything less than an hour old is bulleted. The selector animation uses Kaelri's Universal Transitions script [link]. The crawling ants are there to let you know that you've changed page or the feeds have been refreshed.
- Music Player using Poiru's NowPlaying plugin [link] that works with a variety of media players. The list of supported players and the PlayerName codes are here [link]
- Skin Launcher for the FeedReader, Weather, Network, Music Player and uTorrent skins.

NOTE: The Skin Launcher is just below the Day/Date playing card on the right. Clicking the settings icon on the far right will open a text file (UserVariables.inc) where user settings like the weather code, the type of music player and the RSS feed URLs can be changed.

I've included wallpaper for a 1920x1080 screen. If you have a different screen resolution I recommend you download the original 2079 x 1404 version from DanteWontDie's post [link] and re-size it using a 'constrain proportions' setting to fit your screen.

If you have any suggestions or questions concerning the skins, you can contact me on the Rainmeter forums [link].

UPDATE 10th February 2013 - Fixed the problem with the Music Player skin disappearing if you clicked on the progress tube.
