HELLO!
Thanks for trying out this Rainmeter skin! I must apologzize
profusely for the amount of time it took. Creating the entire
skin might have taken 30-40 hours (including teaching myself
how to even use Rainmeter. Even so, it took way too lont to
release. I posted a popular teaser of the skin a very long
time ago and it basically went silent after that. I don't want
to make excuses, but after having forgotten about the project,
I recently got a PM from another reddit user reminding me
about this, and so I hopped back on it.
I'd also like to thank you guys for giving me so many great
ideas about what things to put where. It was difficult deciding
what each meter would measure, but you guys came through with
some stellar ideas (haha).
So here is the product of my work. I hope you enjoy!

SET UP AND POSITIONING
For those of you first time users of Rainmeter, it's pretty
simple to set up. After installing the .rmskin to Rainmeter,
it will probably load up a preset layout. To change the
positions of the individual meters, just drag them into place.
I expect that FTL players will remember the appropriate
positions of the different meters. As long as you have the
"Snap to edges" option on in the bottom right of the "Manage
Rainmeter" window, repositioning should be a piece of cake.
CUSTOMIZING (BUT JUST A LITTLE)
I tried to include at least a bit of customizing in terms of
what the different meters measured. For example, you can
display 2 drives instead of 4 if you don't think all 4 slots are
necessary. If you don't have a laptop, your hull meter at the
top left can display RAM or HDD space instead of remaining
power.
CREW SHORTCUTS
All info you need about editing the crew shortcut paths, labels,
and images is all in the setup file in FTL\Crew\Setup.inc. It
can be opened with any text editor
WALLPAPERS
You can find a small collection of space wallpapers in the
FTL\@Resources\Images\Wallpapers folder, some of which are from
reddit. I am working on a "Jump" button so that you can go
through the wallpapers at the push of a button, but that's not
for this update quite yet. Best thing for now is to set one of
those wallpapers slideshows that switches to a new background
every hour or so.
FINISHING UP
Make sure you have all of your meters right where you want them.
Go through all of the meters you loaded, and change their
settings (bottom right) so that their position is on the
desktop, and they are not draggable.
