			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://lifehacker.com/">Lifehacker</a> reader rykennedyan created this customised desktop based on <em>Halo</em>, and even if you&#8217;re not a gamer, you&#8217;ve got to appreciate the workmanship that went into this. Check out what it can do after the jump. [<a href="http://lifehacker.com/5297193/the-halo-3-hud-desktop">Lifehacker</a>]<span id="more-338843"></span></p>
<p>The desktop is made from a string of custom Rainmeter configurations on a <em>Halo 3</em> background image. Rykennedyan&#8217;s list of features:</p>
<blockquote><p>• Grenades &#8211; Each grenade launches a specific application. I currently have them set to, from left to right, Pidgin, Steam, Foobar, and Firefox.<br />
• Power Drainer &#8211; Opens a Shutdown menu. You can choose Shutdown, Restart, and Sleep<br />
• Health Bar &#8211; Displays current track progress, with artist and title above it.<br />
• Battle Rifle and Ammo Count &#8211; Displays current unread message count from Gmail and the Battlerifle opens Gmail.<br />
• Ammo Clip &#8211; Top clip is download traffic; bottom clip is upload traffic.<br />
• Radar &#8211; As of now, all this does is download and save an image for the local radar from Weather Underground. I&#8217;m currently editing a GIMP script which will automatically crop and edit the picture to display properly upon download. What you see here is the intended look. It also displays the current temperature.<br />
• Time and Game Type &#8211; Display current time and date.<br />
• Blue Score and Red Score &#8211; Display current CPU and RAM usage.<br />
• Player Callsigns &#8211; These behave just like my TweetScanner skin.<br />
• Battlerifle Ammo Count &#8211; Displays current battery status; it displays 0 in this picture because I&#8217;m using my desktop which is not on a battery.<br />
• Also, the visor outline is done in Rainmeter as well.</p>
