Is it possible to open a browse window?

Post by kyriakos876 »

I want to give the user of my skin the ability to change the background image of my skin by browsing on one of their own images. Is there a way to open a window to browse the PC and copy the path of the image that the user selects?

Thanks in advance.

I think to do this you would have to completely design the window with window size and text entries, using https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/plugins/fileview/ for the actual text of the file path names
