skin downloaded but not showing up when i select it

Post by pokemondodo1 »

So I just got Rainmeter 4.0 and installed a Splatoon skin. But whenever I select the skin to use it, nothing shows up. The basic Illustro still shows up. I don't know what to do.

What you mean by "select the skin"? And please post a link where we can download the incriminated skin, to can check it.

The Layout that that guy includes with his suite is wrong. It has all the wrong [ConfigName] names for the sections, as he installs the skins to a root config folder of "Splatoon", but doesn't include that in the config names.

What you can do PokemonDodo1 is to go to Layouts in Manage.

Save a new Layout, call it MyLayout or something.
When you save it, check the box "Exclude unloaded skins"
Then load that new Layout.
When you first load MyLayout, it's just an empty layout. Nothing will be on the screen.
Now using Manage go find and load the skins from his suite you want.
Position them by dragging to where you want them.
When you are happy, save that MyLayout again, so you can get back to it if you mess with things.

People who upload .rmskins without testing them first are the lowest form of humanity... ;-)
