Link to the awesome background here.
Edit: I also have no idea what I’m supposed to flair this but I think “First Suite” is correct.
Rather than using any images, you can just use a shape. That means you're able to customise the border thickness and colour whenever you want. I've made one here. Make sure to set it to "Click Through" and "On Desktop" (if you don't want it overlaying on the rest of your programs).
Some Background Info:
This could reduce eyeball murder. That is too incredible and beautiful to not use, just because of the eyeball murder. You could also change the white to a dark grey, and the black to white if you wanted to make it look like a darker theme version of it.
I have this problem where I can never decide on one desktop, especially for my HTPC, so I compromised by layering desktops and rotating them every 10 minutes!
I couldn't get the wisp file to load properly, so I borrowed some pieces from the Before Dawn Bar, made a few custom buttons, and modified everything to work with this background.
Here's a google drive link to the modified skin, wallpapers, and even the photoshop files for the buttons and the wallpapers. All but the .rmskin file will need to be unzipped.
Skins used can be found here

Also check out my actually good skin that I put time and effort into instead of stealing a gif from a website
UPDATE
New Version now available via the same link. Changes include:
Here's a skin I made with the new actionTimer, perfect to use when you want to add some extra functionality to your skin with a clean look without making it a mess. It's not a completely finished product, that's why I'm asking you guys what you would like to see added!
Quite a few icons are included, credit for those icons go to https://www.deviantart.com/art/Circle-Icons-Pack-371172325
The skin can be found here!
Hey, I recommend using a lightweight program that i personally use called TransluscentTB. It can be found here, and works with both monitors with multiple settings. https://github.com/TranslucentTB/TranslucentTB
Yes, you can totally release your own remix of it. Rabra's work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
Everything is an application which indexes and searches your PC for files, folders, keywords, etc. This search bar inputs any text and executes everything.exe with that input. Basically yes it is google for the pc.
If you download it from Rainmeter.net, yes it's absolutely safe. If you got it from another site, it could be dodgy.
And it's not CPU intensive unless you have a LOT of graphic skins open.
You should have paid more attention to the image name :P The artist's name is Mikael Gustafsson, and he has made quite a few of such similarly styled wallpapers, using Unity. You can find his works on dribbble.
Umm NXT OS does not use a spotify password, it uses the spotify plugin which does not even touch your password and uses the spotify API.
The only place maybe would be if you used the password as your login screen as the same as your spotify password. But those are all correctly secured on the disk, something else managed to get access to your spotify account.
Edit: Also it looks like your password has leaked multiple times in the past I am guessing it has nothing to do with NXT-OS https://haveibeenpwned.com/
The auto hide the taskbar didn't work like I wanted it too, as every time I moused over it pops back up. To me it sounds like you want what I wanted. To be able to actually disable the taskbar. I found a program that allowed me to do just that.Taskbar Eliminator hides my taskbar when I press Alt+T. And I do mean hide, as in you can't mouse over it and have it come back up.
I'm guessing for you this stuff is actually useful and not just window dressing. Thats pretty interesting.
reminds me of this htop screenshot of a machine with 128 cores! http://hisham.hm/htop/128.png

I used to, back in Win7, ninja the taskbar away with RunAndHide. When linking this .exe file to a skin, for instance when you click your clock, it would completely remove the taskbar, even the few pixels left with 'Auto Hide Task bar'.
Thats 2.0, when it came out it was free anf the free version is 1.0 & 1.0.1 ~~http://www.afterdawn.com/software/desktop/misc_desktop_tools/stardock_fences.cfm~~ thats the dl but it includes a download helpper adware thing
boom - http://www.filepuma.com/download/fences_1.01-121/download/
run your images through an image resizing app.
something like this might help (i haven't used it personally but my web dev friends like it)
the images themselves are 'acceptable' by todays standards but i'm a minimalist and think individual images should be smaller as well. But many will probably tell you that the individual skin pages are fine.. i'd still try to shrink them down while preserving quality best you can.
for the skin list page, create separate thumbnails instead of using CSS or whatever to resize the pictures dimensions. Even though the display area is smaller the size is still there. so create a thumbnail and compress them. I didn't try but i think you could realistically get them under 50k each (some are well over 1MB)
the benefits of doing so is you speed up load time, reduce the burden for those with metered internet connections and reduce the bandwidth needed for your web host which is especially important if your hosting account is also metered.

Hi, I can't find any .gif version of the pokemon RSE credits, but would it be possible to use the video as source ? Just the riding guy going up and down (and with the music it would make it perfect).
I realy want to use it with this amazing background set =D
Hey! Just figured to post this light setup.
If you're interested in theming and ricing, we have a discord called partum that is full of people from Rainmeter, Unixporn, and Android Themes.
Invite: https://discord.gg/bFYeqhH
I've compiled the skins as best I can
There are a couple things you need to do to make it work, though:
If you want the Discord Controller to work, you're going to need to install AutoHotKey, set keybindings within the discord app, and then put those keybindings into the settings file within the Discord Controller Folder.
You're going to need to customize the launcher to make it work for you, and also so you have the stuff you want in the launcher. If you can't figure it out, just go ahead and message me and I'll try to get back to you (though I'll be relatively busy the next few days).
If anything isn't working, again, just hit me up.
I didn't want to require the use of any external dependencies (i.e. HWINFO) for this release, but it's something that's on the table for future updates.
Right now, I'm leaning towards making a "Power User Pack" so the original widgets can stay simple, while still giving power users the details they need (like temperature). It'll take some time to get it ready, but it's on the list now for upcoming updates!
If you want to play with the code, feel free! In fact, it's encouraged!
If you want to release something that uses my code, I just ask these three things:
1) Do not solicit donations using my work or profit from it in any way. This is against the law and I will exercise my legal rights if necessary. I worked very hard to make Win10 Widgets, it's not fair for others to profit off of someone else's hard work.
2) Please provide credit where credit is due. You can do this by simply providing a link to the Win10 Widgets website: http://win10widgets.com
3) Please do not "hijack" the "Win10 Widgets" name. If you release something that uses code from Win10 Widgets, it should have the word "unofficial" in the title.
So, for example, if you wanted to make a CPU meter that had temp info from HWINFO, a name like "CPU HWINFO mod for Win10 Widgets (Unofficial)" would be perfect. Calling it "Win10 Widgets CPU temp Update" would not be okay, and I would not be a happy camper if I saw that.
Follow those simple rules, and the code is open for you to play with :)
If you want to read more about the licence Win10 Widgets uses, check out this link: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/
Most people just use auto-hide. Personally, I need more, so I use Taskbar Hider. It sometimes stops working, but it's pretty helpful.
https://github.com/TranslucentTB/TranslucentTB/releases
This might be better, you can make it fully transparent on desktop (in-programs and stuff are transparent) and atleast to me it uses a lot less RAM
Fences. With a double-click on the desktop, anything in a Fence will toggle between being visible or hidden.
Free (older version): http://downloads.tomsguide.com/Fences,0301-32532.html
Current version (not free) http://www.stardock.com/products/fences/
stardock fences. v1.0? was free and you may still be able to dl it somewhere. I think I have it somewhere i may just install it right now that you brought it to my memory.
I spent a while just using google search with terms like: "Spotify black logo transparent". And most of them I got from this site: https://icons8.com/windows-icons/ and for the converting I used this site: https://www.icoconverter.com/
here's the gif if you want to download it to get it playable as a wallpaper.
there are 3 things to note.
1) 1 gear isn't textured (it's kinda buried, but i see it).
2) this doesn't loop properly because it's short. iirc i only rendered 100 frames so in order to make it a perfect loop, it'll need to be maybe 3x's longer. if your computer can handle it, then i'll do it.
3) if the image doesn't display just click the down arrow on the upper left and you can download it. the image showed in chrome for me, but not in firefox.
ill update this later today since it takes a bit to render out the gears.

I got this from a mod of MiniWeather, which had a nice resource in it by xxenium. It's a file that uses RegEx to parse a weather.com page and pull the data off it.
I'm looking at switching to https://openweathermap.org/api in the hopes of getting a cleaner code.
Nope! I used TranslucentTB for transparency and I used This for taskbar icons :)
use TaskbarX instead of TranslucentTB, it lets you autocenter icons as well as make it transparent and has more customization than TranslucentTB (also has its own rainmeter skin made by the dev) https://chrisandriessen.nl/taskbarx
There are launchers/docks available for rainmeter. Some people also just hide their icons using Windows built in feature or a program like Fences. You can also use the Windows taskbar. I use Fences to hide the majority of my icons, and pin the stuff I use the most to the taskbar.
I use displayfusion!
https://www.displayfusion.com/
I actually have the steam version and picked it up for $10 the first time I saw it go on sale.
The free version is also good, it'll definitely handle two monitors and everything I've got going on here.
Tor emove the recycle bin, type 'recycle bin' into windows search, 'show or hide common icons on desktop' should come up, click that, and uncheck the box next to the recycle bin, and hit apply.
For the visualizer, right click on it and click on "- Open Variables" And find the section that has this:
>Color=255,255,255 ; Color of the visualizer bars/monstercat cover in RGB(a). ; Here are the values for the different genres (and black/white): ; ================================== ; EDM=193,193,193 (Default) ; Electro=230,206,0 ; Future Bass=154,152,252 ; Trap=140,15,39 ; House=234,140,0 ; Drumstep=243,33,136 ; Drum & Bass=242,25,4 ; GlitchHop=11,151,87 ; NuDisco=28,171,179 ; HardDance=1,151,0 ; Trance=0,126,231 ; White=255,255,255 ; Black=0,0,0 ; ==================================
Change Color= to whatever you want. I'd recommend using Adobe Kuler to find what color you want, rather than spend time guessing what color.

This is assuming you have a folder named "Images" in the same folder you put the cutout.ini
in. This is my .ini that I made and use.
I have Windows 7 too. Here I'll link you a tutorial for it and a good place to start looking for start buttons.
Here is my Dual folder in my dropbox
Edit: Fixed the link
I don't delete original when I resize or crop, so it looks like there are duplicates
Edit 2: Full dropbox wall paper folder 7400 images... have fun.
I keep getting all of these requests for my black and white Honeycomb icons, so I compiled four sets of icons just for you guys! One of each set it represented in the picture. The sets include: Gray (#333333, matches Deshou VS/Steam) with white details, white with black details, black with white details, and light gray with dark gray details. Here is the download link, equipped with a readme! Thanks and enjoy!
I think something like this will work.
[Rainmeter] Update=1000 LeftMouseUpAction=[!Toggle "illustro\Clock"] (as an example)
[meter] Meter=Image ImageName=<image_name_here>.png W=<insert_width_here> H=<inser_height_here>
If you want to toggle more than one skin use
LeftMouseUpAction=[!Toggle "illustro\Clock"][!Toggle "some_other_skin\something"]
The skin must be loaded for it to disappear and reappear.
FOUND IT!!! https://m1.behance.net/rendition/modules/124408875/disp/7be72cb40ceab612d49f276975eb3f9d.jpg
Apart of a "Futurama 3D" project that I did not know existed. Fucking Awesome!!
I'm using Taskbar Eliminator. It's... not great, but after 5 minutes of digging it's the best solution I could find. I do have to punch alt-T regularly to re-hide it when something triggers the start menu, but it's a minor enough inconvenience.
Here is the link to the skins I made! Unfortunately I had some issues that forced me to use image links for now. When I rotated text, only the text would rotate but the actual link area would not. No idea if that's fixable. :/
Oh, sorry. Bit of a misunderstanding on how AHK works. The .exe is a compiled form of the .ahk. That means you have to install AutohotKey, edit the .ahk, then right-click the .ahk and compile it into a new .exe. Here's a video. Hope that helps!

Nope, not at all. Downloaded a program called dual-monitor tools that has a few different applications in it. The one I used for the wallpaper is linked here.
I use this to hide the taskbar: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Other-Desktop-Enhancements/RunAndHide.shtml
Start menu is still accessible by pressing the windows key. I completely hide all my desktop icons. Right click, View, un check "Show Desktop Icons". I use the Enigma skin for my launcher icons for the most part.
Even autohide tends to leave a bit of taskbar peeking out. I'm assuming taskbar eliminator does the trick if you don't want any sort of taskbar at all (can't vouch since I personally don't use it). I use Object Dock for a mac-ish type taskbar that can be set to pop up when you mouse over whatever part of the screen you've placed it on (it's positioning and hide/show properties are pretty versatile). There is also an option to completely hide/eliminate the windows taskbar that comes with objectdock. If you're only looking to eliminate the taskbar and want no other dock-like programs, Taskbar Eliminator will probably work best for you, though.
Thanks! I used A program named StartIsBack. Go to the 2nd Tab, Make Transparency 100%, then go to the 3rd Tab, Make Both To "Show Start Screen" So it does the Win10, Instead of Win7! Also, You can use Classic Shell, but I don't like it.
If you want a terminal look, you'll want a monospaced font. Personally I'd recommend Roboto Mono but there's plenty out there. You could also use Consolas, which is the inbuilt monospaced font for Windows.
That aside, I don't think the material wallpaper fits well with a terminal theme. To be honest I think a terminal theme should have a solid colour background.
Fences is great for this, it isn't free though. I just double click to hide all my icons, and double click again to show them when I need them. You can also set it up to stay hidden until you mouse over it.
Try Launchy for your second point. I don't use foobar, and I can't think of anything for point one off the top of my head, sorry. That's all I got, hope it helps.
Also, what you using down the bottom left, cos it is looking fine?
You should honestly be using your keyboard media keys for player nav, because it doesn't matter what window you're currently have focus in.
If you have no Fn
/ media key combos that come default, check out the keyboard manager in MS powertoys.
The heart of this setup is the terminal in the middle, I used the 'Desktop Mode' setting of this cmd.
Everything around it is vanilla Enigma.
For showoff reasons I ran a apt-get update on my debian server which the terminal is connected to via SSH.
Detailed instructions below for anyone having troubles with the visualizer.
1. Download the Monstercat Visualizer
2. There should be a folder inside the zip folder with the same/similar name. Copy/cut this and paste it at the location: Documents->Rainmeter->Skins (unless you placed the Rainmeter folder elsewhere)
3. Open Rainmeter and click on the Rainmeter icon located on the system tray (the arrow symbol on the right of the taskbar)
4. There should be your downloaded folder on the Rainmeter window on the left side. If you don't see it, click the Refresh button on the top right. Now expand the folder, and click on the visualizer.ini file. Click on the Load button on the top right.
5. You should now be able to see the visualizer on the desktop. You can click and drag to re-position it (or if you can't, Right Click > Settings > Draggable). It also should move when you play audio.
6. To change the colour, size, and speed of the bars (+some extras), right click and click on Open settings.
Hope this helped?
E: Also, if you want to get a second set of bars, copy and paste the folder. If you want to rotate it to go on the sides/top of the screen, go to Open settings again and change the Rotation angle. Haven't tried or bothered using the Circle Launcher so I can't exactly help you there.
Rainmeter is perfectly safe as long as you are downloading from their official website.
If you end up using any of the visualisers they can be quite CPU intensive - depending on your CPU.

And of course Wallpaper Engine!
Apple's devs broke iTunes in version 12.7. Rainmeter devs acknowledge the problem here.
Quick note about terminology: visualisers are those things you see bouncing and dancing to music. Example. The things that show your song info are "media skins".
Some of you also wanted to know how you could get the same setup, ive uploaded all of my modified .ini files im using, and shown which ones specifically i used
You can download it here.
This is a skin that reads text files that use the todo.txt markup. If you don't know about it, you can check it out here.
You need to edit your skin, to set the path to your todo.txt and done.txt. (If you don't specify a done.txt, the line will just be deleted).
Tasks get sorted automatically, first by priority then by date. They also get colored according to Priority. So that (A) is fully red and all others get shaded inbetween white and red.
You can also search tasks by clicking the search icon and add new tasks by clicking the plus, if you dont specify a date, todays date will be added automatically.
Currently it only displays the first 10 Tasks, but it can be easily expanded, check the .ini file or ask here if you need help.
Make a backup of your text files to be sure. I tried to test everything, but I can't guarantee that it won't overwrite it, in some weird scenario.
Please let me know of any bugs. Suggestions for features are also welcome.
An alternative is a program that i wrote after working around with different approaches to control media players.
It uses an additional program to control the actions though, so you'll have to install it.
When done with that, place these files in Documents/Rainmeter/Skins
<strong>Download skin</strong>
The rest you can read in the "readme.txt"
Edit: Wrong path
This is the specific screen I'm using but I'm sure you could find plenty of other small LCDs on amazon/ebay/aliexpress/etc.
Slick and useful. I like it!
I've started playing with Omnimo too -- I like the "home screen" sort of look you can get with it.
My ideal setup is still in the future, though. An Omnimo (or omnimo-like) homescreen view that I interact with using this thing, on a desktop -- so no touch screen required.
About the taskbar, check out this post. I got the idea from there.
And here are the Nerv files
Recycle bin is located in "C:\$Recycle.Bin\%SID%". Folderinfo plugin can get the amount of files in a folder. That should be enough info to work with.
Edit: You can get your users SID by typing this command in cmd
"wmic useraccount where name='%username%' get sid"
Here's a copy of my config if you edit the .ini

and StringAlign=Center
that's centering the text. It works because the background box has a width of (#size#*15)
and the strings have X=(#size#*7.5)
. which is half of the width. By setting X
to the middle of the box and having StringAlign=Center
, you get the text centered.

DesktopCoral is a pretty handy tool as well, you can use it to create a space on your desktop that wont be covered by something like your web browser. but i dont think it will work with a fill screen video game
Overused rainmeter skins:
Score: 25/100
Tip: You can hide the taskbar clock in windows settings, seeing as how you now have 2 clocks and 2 calendars.
This is a small thing but there's a bit of a bug with the clock. The day and the date sometimes overlaps. Here's a picture of what I mean: http://tinypic.com/r/2w74spc/8
If you get some free time, could you fix this? Thanks!
Okay, here it is, I think.
(Oh, there's a couple of changes in positioning and I added powerpoint, as I forgot that earlier, but nothing too major, and it is easily removable)
This wallpaper was tagged as web, so it's not a video. I did find the code it was based on, I think you can try to make a looped video wallpaper using this. Cheers!
I'm a bit frustrated with this, since I have several apps set up to snag XML feeds from the 30 calendars that affect me (work, volunteering, personal, school and several for each of my family).
The ideal way to address the issue is to use the Calendar API to essentially homebrew my own RSS feed for each calendar. It's not terribly hard to do, but it's more time consuming than I can manage at the moment, so I've got a preliminary workaround.
In short, I'm planning on using IFTTT's Google calendar support to push to another app that can handle notification passing or XML generation. At the moment, I suspect I'll end up using Pushbullet, but if that doesn't work well, there are many other options to use, even going so far as to create a private Twitter account and generate an RSS feed of that. The workflow would be Google Calendar > IFTTT > Private Twitter account > RSS generator (from link above).
In the long run, there are a bunch of ways to solve the problem with minor inconvenience. We'll see where everyone stands when Nov 18th rolls around, I suppose. Good luck!
This is all a of super-low concern for the average user. A project of this size likely doesn't have the necessary resources to follow through on anything.
He likely can't lock you out, Rainmeter has all of the code available, and it is possible to remove checks if he went through that extreme measure.
Most people only get arrested for distributing the material, not using it.
I would say its frowned upon, but with his licensing (on the DeviantArt page), it seems like it may be a grey area otherwise.
It's my guess the payment part of his Deviant Art setup is simply the best place to find the most recent updates. I'm sure he would appreciate the support, but otherwise, this may just be a side project whose experience was potentially worth more than the money he brings in. Supporting him will help you get updates when Rainmeters weaker integration with web APIs gets bonked every time a media player, weather app, or any other web-based pull changes. If you use the suite a lot, and its priced well you should consider supporting him. It helps EVERYONE using it when updates are needed, and he could go on to bigger and better things in the future! :D
I have a feeling you don't need all 48 icons - I think you can group them together somehow because I definitely don't have 48 wallpapers, although I did use the same picture with a different name for some of the more common conditions.
I think technically speaking you could get it to work off any of the values from the plugin though, you'd just change the StringIndex line.
Edit: Reviewing this: https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/docs?d=resources/icon-sets - You should only need 26 images, and if you combine a few of them, around 20 to cover every possibility.
Since Weather Underground started charging for their API use some time ago, I hope that this is not an indication that Weather.com (who owns Weather Underground) is going to be doing the same. Does anyone have a reference page for the Weather.com API? I was trying to find it so I could see if that was the problem now.
1) Thanks. I put a lot of work into it. Heavily modifying the Lines 2.0 skin and even making my own custom ones, like weather, ping, stopwatch timer, and a music player, all in the same style, but I don't use those latter 2 anymore because they were kind of buggy. A couple of them also turn red after going past a certain temp/%. Here's a pic from an earlier version: https://4.lithi.io/z7rke5.png
2) I'm down here in the nether-regions of Texas, https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/USTX0737:1:US - That's the way my city is, always extremely hot, never cool. I've actually never seen snow, unless sleet counts. Maybe it was over a decade ago that there was one night for a couple of hours where there was sleet, just some ice in the grass and whatnot. That was the first time anything like that happened in 40 years, and never again since. Our winters means having around 70 degree weather; Only a few times when it dips down to like 50 for a short time. Having your a/c break down in the dead middle of summer every year for weeks at a time in 115+ degree heat is also a huge pain in the ass.

This took me hours but I finally figured it all out. Use this to get the frames from your GIF. http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Others/Animated-Gif-Frame-Extractor.shtml
Then in photoshop or another transparency-supportive image editor, make an image that is exactly long enough to fit all of your frame images. Put them all into that long strip and save it as spiderman.png
Then in the ini file, change the number after % to the number of frames you have, and change BitMapFrames to the same number.
It would be possible, yes.
And.. I ended up actually writing an example.
Shape meters are much more useful tbh.
I used up my free time on writing this, so i'll get back to you in a few hours with an explanation for it all.
Here it is, if you want to try it out though.
(Only works for spotify desktop client for now)
Have you looked at ActionTimer? It can execute set commands with a defined delay between each actionlist. I whipped up this using your code and actiontimer.
Well first of alk try to make a cutout from the people so that you are able to place the visualizer behind them. Second try to find a different clock which fits the theme of the wall paper better. Good blace for that would be deviantart Other than that it's going to be more difficult because there's much going on in your current wallpaper. If you still want to use this wallpaper and need more help just dm me and I will try to help you out.
It's a little too basic/plain for my tastes; why not try adding an image that shows the lyrics for the song or something like StickyPic to add the promo pics of the boys?
I know you're asking about other programs but I've actually used rainmeter to replace my taskbar- currently updating my theme so it's a work in progress. I haven't finished setting up everything obviously but it's not the first time I've straight up replaced the Windows taskbar. It's worked really well for me so far and I can still access the "real" taskbar anytime I need to- it's only minimized. But I don't have to look at it all the time and my desktop is a lot cleaner.
You can change the taskbar settings by right-clicking on it and selecting "properties". As for the Rainmeter one you'll replace it with, several themes come with their own preassembled ones as well as blank taskbars you can set up to your heart's content. I'm currently using Enigma and Gnometer icons docked on Enigma taskbars.
It's not exactly what you asked for, but I thought I might throw that one out there since it's worked well for me. Feel free to PM me with any questions if you do decide to give it a go!
EDIT: I just noticed the weird white bar running along the bottom and thought that I should mention that doesn't show up on my desktop IRL. Too lazy to crop screen prints after pasting them into Paint because I'm way too hungover for life. My bad
I just googled every proplem I encountered. Try to fail your way towards your goal when editing skins. For instance those tiny stat meters on Vulpix's screen: I just edited them 1-10 pixels at the time until they were as big as I wanted them to be. I also use ShareX to make quick pixelmessurements.
Does this one work? Spreading them out along the bottom and making more of a stack than a slant may look pretty baller, too! As long as you like it, you'll be ok. :)
Have you thought about adding a quote on the desktop. Make the Samurai wallpaper look kind of wise ;)
Plus who doesn't like a good changing quote.

Sorry for not listing these in the description, I'll add it in now. :D

What's up friend: I am the creator of the "WhiteNeon" skin. I have modified it to remove the dock. I leave you a link to download a rar file. You will only have to unzip it and paste the folder in the path "...\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins". It will ask you if you want to replace the folder, to which you must answer yes. That's it, hope it works for you. Regards my friend ;)
Here's a download link to a zip containing the icons I created and a template for each color.
When you want to create a new one use the magic want tool in photoshop to select the white space inside one of the other icons and paste it into the top "Layer 1"
When creating a new icon (one not included in the resources folder) just create the shape inside "Layer 1"
