# Layout and Skins

Once you have installed and started Rainmeter you will find its icon in the Windows task bar. Right-click it to open its context menu.

A “Layout” is a combination of several skins positioned on your desktop. Grayhound comes with two layouts.

1. Grauhound 2560×1440
2. Grayhound 3840×1260

These layouts are examples for the two screen sizes indicated by their names.

## Changing a Layout

Once a Layout is loaded, you can click and drag each skin anywhere else on the desktop.

## Saving your Layout

Once you are happy with the positioning, you can save your layout. Right-click the Rainmeter taskbar, then select Manage.

Select the Layouts tab. Selct the options you want to save, enter a new name for your current layout and click Save.

## Loading additional Skins

You can add more skins onto your desktop individually. Right-click the Rainmeter taskbar, then select Skins => Grayhound (or any other package you might have).

See the following screenshot (don’t be confused, I put the Windows task bar at the top of my screen).
