Today is the 1 year anniversary since we released Omnimo. A humble project, which was intended to have no more than 12 blue panels turned out to be one of the most interactive and customizable Rainmeter suites ever! A little known fact, that Omnimo was originally supposed to be this fediafedia.deviantart.com/jour… journal CSS, not the Rainmeter suite. However after showcasing the CSS we got the idea of putting it on the desktop too, and as you can see, it was a pretty damn good idea. Our project is now much more than a mere imitation of WP7 (which was the initial goal). With the incredible amount of configs and configuration options it gave Rainmeter users a completely new way to stylize their desktop. What surprised us the most, is that most people using Omnimo don't go for the default WP7 look which comes as standard - they usually customize it to their liking, so almost no desktop is alike with Omnimo. The development was a great challenge for us, we tried to deliver innovative solutions and features for the users' convenience. A great deal of time was spent making those. And to this day Omnimo remains one of the most complex Rainmeter suites ever made. I wish to thank everybody for contributing to its successful reception and especially to the people who donated!

3.2 Update and Exams

Currently workflow has came to a complete halt due to the fact that I'm currently busy with my upcoming exams and my foreign university application. However after this is sorted we plan on continuing our projects as well as releasing the much awaited 3.2 update to Omnimo which fixes some minor bugs and annoyances gathered from our email support survey. The biggest feature we'll try to revive is going to be languages, and this time done right - we'll include it with the product instead of making you download it through the site. One feature I'm looking forward to including in Omnimo is Aero Blur behind every panel - yes you read it right, Poiru recently informed me that this feature is in the works and it might be included in the latest Rainmeter beta!

iShortcuts and other projects

Like I mentioned before, currently the time isn't quite right to work on these, but this doesn't mean we won't continue working on those as soon as possible. I'm also looking into completing a certain Mac related customization item in the near future.

That is all folks!

Good luck, finished my exams this week..

About the languages. Will Xyrfo/Poiru do the translations? Will they take much space, if so, do you have to compress something else? How will you implement them - like in Omnimo 2?
