Oh crap. My bad. I didn't include the RunCommand plugin with my .rmskin. I have had it / used it for so long I just didn't even think about it.

Hang on...

There is nothing before "Mumble" in the title, so ".* - Mumble" isn't going to work.

Try just "Mumble -- 1.2.8" and see if that works.

However, not sure I would include the version in it. Why have to chase that when it changes...

I would just use "^Mumble -- .*$" or even just "^Mumble" myself.

Not in order to determine if a "window" is minimized or maximized. A window is identified by either the "title" or "class", neither of which has anything more than an indirect relationship to the "process" that created it.

You wouldn't use this addon at all just to determine if a "process" is running. That is a different animal than determining if a "window" is minimized or maximized. For a process, you would use:

yeah that what I use at this moment but that'll be cool if a skin hide itself (or at least be in the background) when a process lost a focus. But thanks for the help ! :D

js, what would be the simplest way for Rainmeter to return just the name of the focused window?

Not sure those errors have anything to do with the plugin. "Invalid Token" is generally an error you get when you have a problem with the clock or clock settings on your PC, and you try to access some websites, in this case probably with WebParser. I think it can also happen if you have some corrupted cache in Internet Explorer and use WebParser.

We would need to see the code for the skin to get much further.
