Not sure what skin are you talking about, but I suppose you're using some specific skin (at least starting from the posted variables: m2Item1Item1Ico, m2Item1Item2Ico, m2Item1Item3Ico, m2Item1Item1Icohigh, m2Item1Item2Icohigh, m2Item1Item3Icohigh, m2Item1Item1String, m2Item1Item2String, m2Item1Item3String, m2Item1Item1Action, m2Item1Item2Action and m2Item1Item3Action).
To open a website, you have to add its URL to a, let's say, LeftMouseUpAction:

Code: Select all

[MeterStart]
Meter=String
...
LeftMouseUpAction=["https://www.youtube.com/"]

For more specific help, please give us some details about what, when and how would you like to open.

And just mention that probably in the posted m2Item1Item1Action variable a bracket is missing: m2Item1Item1Action=#sound#[color=#FF0000][[/color]!HideMeterGroup mnItemn]["C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"].

I'm actually having a similar issue with one of my skins.

I have a browser icon that was preset to open google on whatever my default browser is. There is currently a music Icon that initially tried to access the D:\ Drive for a CD or something. SO it looked like

[MusicIcon]
Meter=IMAGE
X=570
Y=80
w=55
h=50
ImageName=Music.png
LeftMouseUpAction=!execute ["D:\"]
AntiAlias=1




I changed the portion after !execute, to ["play.google.com/music"] but it still opens the D drive and i don't know why.

Sorry if posting here is an issue, just didn't want to make a new thread for a related problem.

it should be:

LeftMouseUpAction=["https://play.google.com/music"]

A link to a web resource must always be a fully qualified URL.

Be sure you save the change and refresh the skin from Manage.

Don't use the !Execute keyword, that has long ago been deprecated and it not needed at any time.

The step I was forgetting was the refreshing.

Thanks, that helped a lot.
