The calendar is Lua Calendar by Smurfier which can be found here - http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/88672
Once it is installed navigate to xxxx\Rainmeter\Skins\LuaCalendar\@Resource\Styles. It needs the two .inc files - Styles.inc & Variables.inc (both are plain text files) in a new folder called Cobolt, I have put them here - it's a 6kb zip file which also includes the two required image files. Extract them to the folder xxxx\Rainmeter\Skins\LuaCalendar\@Resource\Styles. So you end up with xxxx\Rainmeter\Skins\LuaCalendar\@Resource\Styles\Cobolt with the two .inc files and two .pngs in it.
Finally, open Settings.Inc in xxxx\Rainmeter\Skins\LuaCalendar\@Resource\ and change Style=Default to Style=Cobolt. Then refresh Rainmeter.
