Is there a way to fix the desktop thing because it thinks my desktop is a fullscreen window?

I don't know, but you can probably exclude your desktop.

I actually tried it and I don't get the desktop as fullscreen.... so this works normally:
Code: Select all
[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
AccurateText=1
[MeasureQuickBang]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=QuickBang
InfoType=ActiveProcess
InfoType=IsFullScreen
HandleUpdate=1
Showlog=1
[MeasureFullScreenAction]
Measure=String
String=[MeasureQuickBang:]
IfMatch=1
IfMatchAction=[!ShowMeter MeterIs][!HideMeter MeterIsNot][!Update]
IfNotMatchAction=[!ShowMeter MeterIsNot][!HideMeter MeterIs][!Update]
DynamicVariables=1
[MeterIs]
Meter=String
Text="Something is full screen"
FontColor=255,255,0
FontSize=20
AntiAlias=1
Hidden=1
[MeterIsNot]
Meter=String
Text="Nothing is full screen."
FontColor=255,255,0
FontSize=20
AntiAlias=1
Hidden=1

Now when I use it it doesn't think the desktop is a full screen app after a restart? That's weird and not very consistent.

Tested it and it does not work with full screen games. Only desktop applications

My plugin will detect any full-screen window on the primary screen that has "focus", and I have found it to be reliable with desktop apps and games, and it specifically ignores the window created by the Windows Desktop.
It doesn't, and can't really, know what "program" owns this window, as it is strictly based on the window "handle". It's just asking "Is the window that currently has focus running in full-screen mode?" In general, "programs" aren't full-screen, "windows" are. It could probably be done, and anyone that wants to is welcome to track back through the breadcrumbs to retrieve the PID and thus the name of the program that started the window, but I'd rather not bulk up this plugin with that. It's free to change and distribute as you see fit though.
