Metro Home brings a little Windows Phone 7 style to your desktop
Metro Home is a portable, customizable desktop widget (remixed from HTC Home) which can display the date and time, local weather conditions, and a short range forecast. It's also got a small picture display window like the one you can utilize on the Windows Phone 7 homescreen. Right now, if you want to change the default path you'll need to do some manual hacking as described by the developer -- or you can drop some files into the Metro_Home\Widgets\WeatherClock\Pictures folder.
The .Net 4.0 framework is required, so make sure you've got it installed prior to launching Metro Home.

I can't help but to feel like an idiot because I can't get this app to run.

@Grease Ball Make sure you've got the .Net 4.0 framework installed first, as instructed on the download page... http://www.filehippo.com/download_dotnet_framework_4/

Its a cool idea but not executed very well. There's not much customization at all.

Rainmeter version of this has been out for ages, with customizations and tons more panels:

A metro theme on the desktop could be fun (at least for a while) Microsoft should release an official "Metro" theme for Windows 7 as part of the Windows 7 SP1
