What is this project?

It’s a Windows Phone 7 inspired multifunctional interactive desktop information center


based on rainmeter. This suite will turn your desktop into a productive and attractive
workarea , delivering only the information you need. Every interactive tile gives you
information at a glance, and can be easily customized to your needs. Unlike the initial Metro design,
Omnimo gives you limitless customization potential, you can customize just about every aspect of it!

Installation
Step 1: Make sure you have Rainmeter 1.3 installed. To download it, click here
Step 2: Double click on the Omnimo.rmskin file, it should install everything automatically.

It’s VERY important that fonts have been installed correctly, after installation, close this
manual and reopen and see if the fonts match in the following table:

Segoe UI Segoe UI Light Segoe WP Segoe WP Semibold Segoe WP Light

After installation, select your settings and then the resolution to apply the optimum theme.

The Basics
Here are some of the basic things you may need to know while using Omnimo. All panels are
resizable individually as well as all-at-once using the Color Gallery. You can access the color gallery
by clicking the icon under the gallery arrow on your desktop. Make sure to click apply after any
changes you’ve made. The vast majority of Omnimo items can be closed by middle clicking.
Everything else you’ll discover while using Omnimo :)

Tip for wallpapers


It’s recommended to use either a Solid color wallpaper, something very dark, or a tinted normal
wallpaper. However you can just enable the background and use any wallpaper you like. To enable
the background – right click any Panel, select WP7\Background\bg.ini. If the background overlaps
everything, right click it, go to settings, position, bottom. There is a customizable background which
you can modify by middle clicking it.

Tip for desktop icons


The fact that you will not be able to access your
desktop icons might be a deciding factor whether
using Omnimo or not. Still, there is a possible
workaround for this issue:

1. Download Stardock Fences and install it.

2. Right click any empty space on the desktop and


close the background

3. Customize fences to your liking and drag icons from your desktop to it.

4. New icons will appear on top left corner, you can drag them to fences

Freequently asked questions


1. I downloaded Omnimo 3 but I don’t know what to do next.
Download rainmeter 1.3 from www.rainmeter.net, install rainmeter, and after that you can install
Omnimo 3 by doubleclicking the skin file. Alternativelly you can install the standalone version.

2. How do I ad/remove panels from my desktop?


Click the + button on the desktop and click on the panel you want to ad. Click the arrow button near
the Gallery text to see the next pages of the gallery items. Middle click to close any panel.

3. How to change color skins?


Open the color gallery by clicking the paint brush icon which appears under the Arrow when you
hover it. You can change many aspects of the skins from this window.

4. How to close stuff manually?


Almost all configs in omnimo can be closed by middle clicking. You can close stuff manualy by right
clicking it and selecting close skin too. Additionally if you need to close things like the background,
right click the rainmeter tray icon, select your config from the menu and click close skin.

5. How to open stuff manually?


Right click either the tray icon or any skin on the desktop, select Configs, WP7 and further folders
and then open the skin.

6. Omnimo overwrote my theme which took me hours to set up


No worries, go to RainThemes, and load rainstaller backup.

7. I made a nice desktop layout and I don’t want to lose it.


You can save rainmeter themes by right clicking the tray icon, themes, manage themes and save
your theme.

8. How to get my city weather code?


Go to weather.com. Search your city.
You’ll see something like this in your addressbar:
http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Klaipeda+Lithuania+LHXX0008?
lswe=klaipeda&from=searchbox_localwx
The highlighted part is your weather code.
Click the settings icon which appears on the top right of the panel on mouseover, and in the settings
paste the weather code, click set, change the unit if you need, and click set again. Then close the
settings box and the panel should refresh automatically. If it didn’t, right click it and select refresh
skin.

9. My mail isn’t working


You can use only Gmail with rainmeter right now. If Gmail doesn’t work means you typed something
incorrect, check it and refresh the panel, wait up to 10 seconds for it to gather information. Same
thing applies for all panels which require login. Due to a bug in rainmeter, passwords with odd
symbols may not work.

10. I closed the +/arrow button and I cant access the gallery any more.
Right click any omnimo item on your desktop, go to WP7 and select galleryarrow or galleryplus. You
can access all configs from that menu.

11. My userpicture doesn't show


Go to control panel, accounts and set your userpicture again

12. Why is my Installed Panels gallery empty?


You need to download some items from omnimo.co.cc

13. The website is down, where can I download addons?


Visit http://omnimoaddons.deviantart.com

14. My clock is in military time, how to change it?


Most clock items either provide a Variant or can be changed in the settings by typing a different
format.

15. Weather forecast is in Celsius, how to change it to Fahrenheit?


Right click it and select Weather4daysfarenheit.ini

16. I’m worried about the security of my password


Normal users have nothing to worry about, rainmeter uses atom feed authentication from google to
parse new emails. However be advised that it’s not recommended if your computer is used by
anyone other than you.

17. My antivirus detects there might be a Trojan in this suite.


Again, not to worry! This is a false positive triggered by the UPX compression used in our
configuration utilities. Also your antivirus probably isn’t the best one on the market if it detected
THAT as a Trojan…

18. What’s the secunotes/seculock password and can I change it? 7942, and no…
