Trainer Card Dashboard
A custom Pokémon-inspired Rainmeter desktop dashboard I use daily as a playful replacement for the standard Windows taskbar.
I built this because I wanted my desktop to feel more visual, interactive, and personal while still being genuinely useful. The dashboard acts as a launcher and workflow hub for my most-used tools and personal shortcuts.
Features
- Interactive Pokémon trainer card interface
- Custom app launchers hidden inside sprites, badges, and UI elements
- Hover tooltips explaining each shortcut
- Left-click and right-click actions for different workflows
- Personalized launcher categories for development, media, finance, utilities, and emulators
- Daily-use desktop replacement designed around my actual workflow
