Hey,
So im trying to put a logo next to some text but i can't seem to find it on my desktop so i guess i did something wrong.
The code that i was using to call upon the picture is this:
[MeterLaunchSteamImage]
Meter=Image
ImagePath=#@#Images\SteamIcon.png
W=32
h=32
X=5
Y=5
LeftMouseUpAction["C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe"]
Maybe anyone knows why i can't seem to find the picture on my desktop
Thanks in advance.

So you need to ensure that the image is where you think it is.Matosh wrote:Okay it seems like that is the piece of code i need to use but now i do get an error in the code saying it is unable to open the image.
Based on:
ImageName=#@#Images\SteamIcon.png
It will need to be in a folder called @Resources\Images that will be under the root config folder of your skin.
Go find the image in Windows Explorer, right-click it, and say "Copy as path". Paste that here.

Re: Putting a picture on desktop
Would it work if i would paste the whole path instead of only #@#Images\SteamIcon.png?
This it the path C:\Users\Matosh\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Tutorial\Launcher\@resources\Images\SteamIcon.png
This it the path C:\Users\Matosh\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Tutorial\Launcher\@resources\Images\SteamIcon.png

Re: Putting a picture on desktop
Glad to help. For future reference in this path:Matosh wrote:I got it!

C:\Users\Matosh\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Tutorial\Launcher\@resources\Images
The variable #@# will refer to
C:\Users\Matosh\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Tutorial\@resources
So you really should put the images in
C:\Users\Matosh\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Tutorial\@resources\Images
Root config folder is the highest level right below Skins where your skin lives.
So the config name would be
Tutorial\Launcher
The root config name would be
Totorial
and the root config folder would be
C:\Users\Matosh\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Tutorial
@Resources must be in the root config folder to work correctly.

Re: Putting a picture on desktop
Do you happen to still have the skin? I'd also like to have one but I don't know how to create one from scratch.
