Hi guys! I'm new to Rainmeter but I have been making my own icons.
I saw this kind of skin before on my friend's laptop and i have no contact with him anymore so I was wondering how do I make a pop up box or just a typical box containing my "documents" folder files?
If you know how the pop up thing works please include all the necessary codes I need for it to work
Thank you!

Re: How to make a pop up box for my "documents" folder
Let's start with a simple string, later we can furtherly develop it to have what you want. Start with the following code:aliceeeeee wrote:I saw this kind of skin before on my friend's laptop and i have no contact with him anymore so I was wondering how do I make a pop up box or just a typical box containing my "documents" folder files?
Code: Select all
[Rainmeter]
Update=-1
[MeterDocuments]
Meter=STRING
X=0
Y=0
Padding=15,5,15,5
FontColor=220,220,220
SolidColor=0,0,0,150
FontSize=14
FontFace=Segoe UI
StringStyle=BOLD
StringAlign=LEFT
AntiAlias=1
Text=Documents
LeftMouseUpAction=[Shell:::{A8CDFF1C-4878-43be-B5FD-F8091C1C60D0}]
If this works well let me know to furtherly assist you to create the "pop up box" (using the ActionTimer plugin).

Re: How to make a pop up box for my "documents" folder
Ahhh yes please I wanted my documents folder to have a design I can customize so that if I clicked it I won't be looking at a plain documents folder.
Would that be possible?

Re: How to make a pop up box for my "documents" folder
To be honest I don't understand. The icon should open what my previous code opens, or something else? I'm talking about an icon, because initially you've talked about one. And what you want to customize? The icon or the documents folder?aliceeeeee wrote:Ahhh yes please I wanted my documents folder to have a design I can customize so that if I clicked it I won't be looking at a plain documents folder.
Could you be a bit more precise, please?

Re: How to make a pop up box for my "documents" folder
Really really sorry if I'm confusing
The icon is okay it did what it was supposed to do which was open the documents folder.
But the thing is I was hoping i could also customize the folder itself like how the document folder would look like if I clicked the icon.
I hope that made it somewhat clear?
Thank you so much for your patience

Re: How to make a pop up box for my "documents" folder
But has this something to do with Rainmeter? I mean that customizing a folder is not something which could be done in Rainmeter. I think you should customize it, then, when you use Rainmeter to open it, it'll be opened customized.aliceeeeee wrote:But the thing is I was hoping i could also customize the folder itself like how the document folder would look like if I clicked the icon.

You're welcome. Sorry, but at least me I don't see a way to do what you'd like, in Rainmeter.
