When you have highlighted the skin.ini in the manage window as you have shown in the second screenshot,
You can click the load button to 'activate' a skin.

Alternativly, you can right click the Rainmeter icon in the system tray and choose skins and then the skin you want.

Well, when you create a new skin using Manage, it's just an empty template of a skin, measures nothing and displays nothing.

It will look something like this:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
AccurateText=1

[Metadata]
Name=
Author=
Information=
Version=
License=Creative Commons Attribution - Non - Commercial - Share Alike 3.0

[Variables]

[MeterString]
Meter=String
You need to edit the skin and add some code, some measures to get values and some meters to display them, then refresh the skin, and voila, it will show up.
