Functioning Halo 3 HUD desktop is redonkulous

Lifehacker reader rykennedyan's desktop is an impressive recreation of a first-person view from the popular Halo FPS shooter-with system stats and information completely blended into the desktop.

The desktop is created entirely with customized Rainmeter configurations sitting on top of a Halo 3 wallpaper.

If you want to download, the creator's flickr account is at http://www.flickr.com/photos/rykennedyan/3642112110/in/pool-lifehacker-desktop-showandtell. He is still putting the finishing touched on the final version.

Seems nice, but I don't want my desktop blowned up with it. I got the real thing on my TV. :D

I wouldn't use the Halo desktop specifically, but I like the idea. I wish I could find a nice Mass Effect theme though.

And + 1 for shutupandgame just in spite.

It may not have been "comedy at it's best," but it did make me chuckle.

Haha the novelty will wear thin quickly.

Maybe I'm just being dense, but where's the download link?

[peeps]

it's a v cool idea but i bet after a while you'd miss the usability of windows (even though i know some would beg to differ lol)

[General Jewels]

how do you download it?

[MiloGarret]

first you must become an uuuuuuuuuuuberNERD. Only then will the download button magically appear on the site.

Q: How do I get this? Where do I get this? When do I get this?
A: End of June. Follow me on Twitter to get up to date information and to participate in development. As you can see, some features are still missing, the font isn't finalized, I haven't had the time to find a good screenshot, etc... If you do have the time and would like to help, read the update below.
