Shortcut to rainmeter's system tray icon

[kendog819]

This is a built-in Rainmeter feature. You can create a Windows shortcut with the following target:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe" !TrayMenu

Ok, i did this, it created a rainmeter icon, but when opening the shortcut i get an error "Unknown !bang !TrayMenu"

I'm getting closer

Thanks,

You can either upgrade to Rainmeter 2.1 beta or use the !RainmeterTrayMenu bang instead.

Poiru,

I know this is a slightly old thread, but I have followed this exactly. It works great! But i would like to open the manage window when this is clicked. Currently it only opens the right click menu (like the right click menu when you right click a skin).

This is very nice, but as i said, i would love to have the "manage" window pop up instead.

I am currently useing RainMeter 2.2.0 r1116 64-bit.

Try the !Manage bang.

For example: In a skin you would use:
RightMouseUpAction=!Manage

If you are sending a command to Rainmeter, use this as the command:
"C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe" !Manage

The !TrayMenu bang is what you probably are looking for. You can execute "Path\to\Rainmeter.exe !TrayMenu" to open the menu.

I've been using this bang since I first found this thread, but why isn't it listed in the Docs?

Fixed. Thanks for letting us know about the oversight. :)
