New support for @Vault folder
Posted: December 14th, 2017, 2:44 am
Rainmeter encourages people to create and distribute their own skins, either created from scratch or modified from other skins you may download and install. In order to facilitate this for authors, Rainmeter now supports an @Vault folder located in the Skins folder of your Rainmeter installation.
The purpose of the @Vault folder is to have a standard, central place to store things you might want to use when creating your own .rmskins for distribution. Primarily this will be 3rd-party plugins, but it can be fonts or sounds or images or anything else that you want to "keep handy" to help you create skin distributions.
By default, the Skin Installer for Rainmeter will automatically store both 32bit and 64bit versions of any plugins that are installed on your system by a .rmskin. These will be stored in @Vault\Plugins. The plugin will be stored there in a subfolder with the plugin version number (if there is one) and the name of the plugin .dll file.
See @Vault Folder for details on how this works and how to use it.
