Question about Win+D and Rainmeter

Post by Icedragon »

When I use Win+D to get onto my desktop rainmter works fine, but if I exit the previous application (Such as X-ing out Chrome) my MouseOverAction/MouseLeaveAction commands don't work.

The MouseOver/MouseLeave:

Code: Select all

MouseOverAction=[!ActivateConfig "Honeycomb\genericgameicon\Background" "background.ini"]
MouseLeaveAction=[!DeactivateConfig "Honeycomb\genericgameicon\Background" "background.ini"]
Background.ini in it's entirity:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
AlwaysOnTop=-2
LoadOrder=3
OnRefreshAction=[!ZPos "-2"]

[Wallpaper]
Meter = Image
ImageName = 1.png
Edit: This may be because the Meter that I want my background.ini to overlap gets updated and doesn't move to the back?

'Win+D' will hide any Rainmeter skins that are set as 'On Desktop'... you cannot interact with them when they are hidden.

'Win+M' will minimize all open Windows to show your Desktop, but NOT hide Rainmeter skins that are on your desktop.

Not sure if there are any other options. :-(

Win-D doesn't hide Rainmeter skins for me...

Hmm, I misspoke :( ... it hides skins that are set to 'Bottom' on my Win10 desktop; not ones that are set to 'On Desktop'.
