ElementaryOS Luna in Windows 7

Description

A quick little update to keep things fresh. ElementaryOS style in Windows7.

Wallpaper is from ChromeOS's beautiful offical collection.

The majority of the Rainmeter skin is made up of bits of the Enigma skin. The Applications menu is a launcher connected to the start menu.
The app can be found here [link]
The music player widget is from here [link]
The power button is a very heavily modified version of this [link]
The theme is Uniko which is a great minimal theme and fits with the music player [link]
The dock is RocketDock with a custom background.

I used TaskBarHider to remove the taskbar too - [link]
I hope you enjoy!

EDIT: Here is the Visual style for anyone intrested: [link] The file includes the Elementary-0.1.rmskin file, this can be installed (assuming Rainmeter is already installed) to give the rainmeter look. I also included the Pantheon style dock background for RocketDock. This folder can just be copied to your RocketDockskins folder (for me this is under C:/Program Files (x86)/RocketDock/Skins). I couldn't remember where I got the Chrome wallpaper pack from so you'll have to find that yourself if you wanted, it is the best wallpaper pack I've seen in a long time and suits the Elementary visual style well. I also put in the startmenu.exe file. In windows 7 you need to right click > Properties > General and click Unblock at the bottom to stop it asking if you trust the file every time. Put this .exe file somewhere and either put a shortcut on your dock/desktop or, like I have, direct an RM launcher to it.

Disclaimer: I don't own rights to any of the rainmeter skins individually, I just packed them together. If you manage to somehow damage your computer by installing the skin or dock background it's entirely your own fault. I've tested the .rmskin, the startmenu shortcut and background and they both work fine for me and should for you too :)
