How to edit Rainmeter after disable displaying it

Post by AloisD »

Hello,
I think there is a simple answer to this question but I didn't find any help online. I set up Rainmeter and everything was nice so I disabled its icon in the taskbar.
Now I want to make changes and ran it manually, but nothing happens. It does start with windows boot but there is no window to make any configurations. So if nothing shows where can I make changes? I hoped to find a config file to let the icon show up again to open up the window again, but I couldn't find anything like this..
Sorry for being so dumb :handtohead:

Thanks for any help,
AloisD

Not sure what Windows version you have.

In Windows 10 you can define which icons should appear (or not) under Start - Settings - Personalization - Taskbar. In the Notification area you can "Select which icons appear on the taskbar".

Assuming you have some skin running on the screen, you can simply right-click the skin and select Rainmeter then Manage.

Thanks for the fast reply and sorry for no giving more information.. ^^"
Yes I'm running a skin on my Win10 desktop.

@Matth I tried that, but cannot find rainmeter there. I see every other program but not rainmeter.. I don't know why.

@ jsmorley I activated "click-through" so I cannot grab it or something like that :(

Hehe.. the perfect storm.

Just hold down CTRL while you right-click any skin.

You are trying really hard to lock yourself out, but we won't let you... ;-)
