Opening Skins

Post by roan420 »

I'm using the CogsTubesGauges skin. The skin launcher has two open buttons. I'm trying to get the open buttons to launch the ToDo and Google_search from the CTGauges_extension_pack. I have copied the CTGauges_extension_pack into the CogsTubesGauges folder. I have tried the following codes but it will not open. The Icons I have assigned to the launcher show up. What am I doing wrong?

; --- 7
ItemText-7=To Do
ItemAction-7=[!ToggleConfig "#Layout#\ToDo" "ToDo.ini"]
ItemIcon-7=#@#Icons\10.png


; --- 7
ItemText-7=To Do
ItemAction-7=[!ToggleConfig "#Layout#\CTGauges_extension_pack\ToDo" "ToDo.ini"]
ItemIcon-7=#@#Icons\10.png

Very hard to say this way, but have you made a Refresh all? When you're moving skins, a such operation is absolutely needed, because without it, Rainmeter doesn't see the newly moved / created skins.

Yes I've done the refresh all. I had it working about 9 months ago. Then computer crashed and had to reinstall Windows. I can't remember the code or what I did to make it open the CTGauges_extension_pack from the CogsTubesGauges launcher.

This means that the @Resources\Configs\CommonStyles.inc file is missing. This can be the cause. But because I don't know the skin you're talking about, I can't say more. Check to see if you can find the missing file.

What is this? Do you see this in the log, as well?

Yes all of this is in the log. I'll look at the files and see what is missing. Thanks for your help. I'll let you know what I find out.

If you don't succeed, pack the whole config and upload it, to can check.
