My first ever rainmeter project.
Try it out, tell me what you think.
Still not 100% complete but very usable.
This will turn your computer desktop into a working Pipboy.
Recommended for screen resolutions of 1366 x 768, laptop size.
It is a working pipboy from Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, buttons work and change screens.
Items and data provide links to programs while stats shows weather, power and gmail.
Click download to download all files.
Without power buttons: ianmelbourne93.deviantart.com/…
Please read the read me file before asking questions.
Development files to help with customization and editing ianmelbourne93.deviantart.com/…
Clean wallpaper ianmelbourne93.deviantart.com/…

I Dled one that looks like just the Pip Boy screen found here: i.pinimg.com/originals/2e/5d/1…
I had to do some editing to get all 3 yellow buttons to show so i could switch between the different screens but it works

There is a link in the description to the wallpaper I used. The skin displays the green overlay of the screen and the little rad meter on the top left.
Please note that the skin and wallpaper were created for a laptop resolution screen and may not look as good on a 1080p monitor.
If you are using it for a different resolution then that might explain your display issues. If thats the case, you may need a different wallpaper

Probably not, I made it for a screen size of a laptop.
You may be able to use it for a 1080p monitor, but definitely not as a duel screen display.
Here is a link to the original screen I used which is 1680 x 1050
You may be able to edit this in a way that looks appealing to you to fit your screen and the skin.

You need to go and install a program called 'rainmeter'.
This program will allow you to put customized 'skins' onto your desktop.
After you install rainmeter, you will get a rainmeter folder in your "my documents" folder. In this rainmeter folder you will find all of the skins you have installed.
Once you have rainmeter installed, you can download the .rmskin file from this page. Open that file with rainmeter and it will prompt you to install it. click install and you have it.

lets do some basic debug
1. Make sure you have some form of internet connection
2. Make sure you have entered your correct weather code
3. If you have changed anything in the file, make sure you havent accidentally deleted anything. You can download a fresh copy and compare your files.
4. Worst comes to worst, re-install. If you do this, would be a good idea to have a backup of all your other files and just replace the weather files.

After about an hour of customizing my tabs, locations, etc., it works perfectly for me! The *only* issue I have is both the Items and Data sections use the same pictures, and it would be cool if you could set the scroll wheel to either click & drag or scroll and have more items on each screen.
Nice coding work, everything was nicely labeled and organized. Very easy to change settings, and it's great to find something specifically designed for 1366x768.

Cheers, you can customize the images that each individual link uses.
There is a bunch of images in the resources folder if you are interested.
Otherwise if you are really keen, there is developer files linked in the description which you can use for a bunch more customization.
I may make a fallout 4 version with variable screen resolutions after exams, but there is no guarantee about that. You can watch this account if you would like to know what is happening with that.

Ok, now that I know how to get to the resource folder I can take care of that, thanks for including those. I'll check out the dev file tomorrow, looks like it has a bunch of nice stuff in it.
I'm new to Lua and Rainmeter, just got it yesterday, but it's close enough to C++ its not too difficult, but different enough that I'm still muddling through some things.
