and it's just white with no color changing, I'm not sure what version rainmeter I have on this laptop, I installed it a few months ago so I doubt it's fully updated since I only use it when at work

Yeah, you must have the latest beta installed for that code to work. It's currently Release Candidate 1 of version 4.1

AWESOME!!!

THANK YOU!

[jsmorley]

Groovy...

[Cellinarac]

yup, and when I get home on my main computer, I'll download that audio plugin you mentioned earlier and see about getting a playlist of sorts worked out for it. basically doing this for the media computer in the living room to get a Holiday theme. right now it has a Halloween Theme I made on it, that I am also going to redo things on now lol

[Cellinarac]

well, it's a boring day at work today so I am playing with this. now, the quote plugin thing is bugging me. I looked at the example for it, but not having any luck getting it to play anything at all. I am using the file path where the audio files are, but does it need to be in another format, or am I doing this all wrong as well?

Code: Select all

[MeasureQuote]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=QuotePlugin
PathName="#@#Sounds\"
Subfolders=1
FileFilter=*.wav

and how do I go about adding the activation command for the button? I tried it with the [LeftMouseUpAction] as I had it previously but it didn't work.

this is what I have at the moment with button actions deactivated
