This little addon will let you to bring any active skin into focus.
Command line option also supported

Examples:

in this case it will bring focus for current skin (under the pointer)

Code: Select all

[Example1]
Meter=IMAGE
SolidColor=1,1,1,240
X=0
Y=0
W=100
H=50
MouseOverAction=#CURRENTPATH#RainFocus.exe
If you pass a skin's Name as command line option it will bring focus for illustro\Google

Code: Select all

[Example2]
Meter=IMAGE
SolidColor=1,1,1,240
X=0
Y=0
W=100
H=50
MouseOverAction=#CURRENTPATH#RainFocus.exe "illustro\Google"

I am thinking of ways to bring better experience when changing settings through configuration skin. RainFocus might help it in some ways :)

This is actually another idea I had in mind. But I think I already can get that kind of info from rainmeter.ini

Back to my idea. I wanted to bring defined skins to the foreground and blur everything on the background. I wanted to use it with "welcome tutorial" in my skin.

@~Faradey~

I have been using this tool in several of my skins suites since you created it several years ago. :great:

It is an "must-have" tool to control menus created with the FileView plugin; with this tool, controlling the hidden/visible states of menu systems becomes extremely simplified an reliable!

I will consider mods, but at the moment, it does everything I need.

Thanks!

Is there any way you could post the method or the source code so that I can implement this in one of my plugins. I really dislike shipping .exes with my skins because they cause too much issues with user's antivirus programs. I really need this for one of my plugins. I tried making something like this myself but failed.
