I have on the screen a “NASA photo of the day”, “Quote of the day” by paperquotes.com., weather @ Woodlands from the National Environment Agency of Singapore (the town I live), and day and time displayed to my liking 😊.

All these were “programmed” with rainmeter.net.

The one I wish to highlight is the left corner (on my desktop screen) rainmeter skin.
