How to disable About window on startup?

Post by lenticular »

Howdy, I have Rainmeter set to run on computer startup. I like that the skins appear right away, but I don't like that the About window automatically pops up at startup, as well. Is there an option I can set somewhere to disable this behavior by the About window, while still letting the skins appear on startup?

I've just been clicking the "Close" button on the About window every time, but just the unasked-for presence of the About window is bugging me.

The About dialog does not popup by default.

I suspect one of the skins that you are loading is calling the !About bang manually (possibly using the OnRefreshAction action).

Your best bet is to open up all the skins that are load when Rainmeter starts and disable the action that is calling: !About

Yep, that was it; the Modular Weather Parsing skin had a line in it that used !About Skins. I commented that line out, stopped and restarted Rainmeter, and it worked as I wanted it to. Thanks for the info! Consider this one solved.
