Updated my desktop for December! (yes I know it's still November. Shhh. I'm getting ahead of schedule)
I tried to make it both holiday & Life Series themed, which is a hilarious premise that I think turned out pretty well.
Backgrounds are made within Canva, using watercolor art and abstract color backgrounds. Last year I had a very strict design style, which is why my choices this year are a lot more loose. Next year's backgrounds I expect I'll switch back to a slightly stricter format, as it's easier to quickly update month to month.
The desktop clock and picture frame display (which switches between a bunch of poetry & art I have saved) are the Widgets app from the Microsoft store.
The pretty post-it notes are the Simple Sticky Notes app! My fave part of them is the ability to set opacity, as I like things a little see-through.
The circle clock is added using the Atome skin within Rainmeter, which allows for the addition of many custom desktop reskins/widgets.
My favorite part of my customization is the tiny sun in the middle of the clock- if I scroll up or down on it, it raises and lowers my screen brightness! That's the Backlight skin, also in Rainmeter.
