Rainmeter.ini UTF-16
Posted: June 20th, 2018, 6:37 pm
Hi,
First i would like to say that I love the continued dedication the the future development of this program.
The issue I am having relates to the Rainmeter.ini's recent conversion to UTF-16. Lua is unable to read UTF-16 and thus it is impossible for scripts to read the Rainmeter.ini file anymore. This recent change has broken a large amount of my skins because they use scripts to check information from the Rainmeter.ini. I don't know if there is a way for me to fix my skins and I am worried for older skins that might have broken from this update as well. I know that the development team loves to retain backwards compatibility for older skins and this issue is notable.
