Hi,
I am trying to edit the launcher but I don't really know if it's even possible what I'm trying to do. I would like to edit it in such a way that when I hover over the game's name and it displays the wallpaper, to hide the other skins or some of them as it ruin's the wallpaper. I am wondering if it is possible to make a skin dissapear with the actions of another skin, not modifying directly. Second, but not that important, which also I think I can make it work myself after some searching, I don't reallly like the "PCMasterRace" logo displaying whenever I click the desktop. I hope you get what I am trying to say.
Thank you.

Re: Help with glorious game launcher
While I'm not going to dig into that big suite, I can give some high-level advice.
If you find the MouseOverAction options on the links that cause the wallpaper(s) to appear, you can add a bang to those which can make transparent or hide other skins. To do that, you will need to add Group=Something to each of the "other" skins. You can add that in the [Rainmeter] section of each skin.
Then use [!HideGroup Something] to hide those skins in that MouseOverAction.
Be sure to also find the MouseLeaveAction which will be on the same meters. To that, add [!ShowGroup Something] to show the skins you hid before.
"Something" is just a name to give your group, it can be anything you want.

I suppose we're still talking about the Glorious Launcher package, right?mike_steel wrote:the notepad editing stuff...I am so confused on what to add to which skin...

If so, load the launcher (probably already done), right click it, then click --- LXX Settings --- (where XX is the appropriate number). This will open the LauncherVariablesXX file, which has to be edited. You have there detailed description of what and how to edit. Read those descriptions and follow them.
Neither me don't use this package, so practically I'm not too familiar with it, but if you can't get it working well neither after following the description, please come back with the specific question you have.
