Editing Butons

[Lynkon]

Hey!,

I'm new to rainmeter and have spent the last three hours trying go get my head around editing buttons, creating pathways and all that good stuff. I've used the manual but i am still having trouble. The skin I'm using is Desktop +++ by FiftyNiner. If someone could help me out that would be appreciated.

Cheers, Lynkon

It seems the author has moved on...

Hey guys, starting with some new projects; Namely indie game development!
I'm not really doing things under Fiftyniner any more; Rather, you can find me now under JTemoshenko!

I'll mostly be keeping up to date here on Twitter:

You might want to try to contact the author on Twitter for help: https://twitter.com/JTemoshenko

The link to that skin is: Desktop+++

Perhaps a member who has this skin can help... I do not, and without seeing any code can't do much.

Some games require launching via Steam in order to run correctly.
For games like that, use the steam URI steam://run/<ID> where <ID> is the numeric ID of the game you're trying to run (for example Warframe has the ID of 230410 so to launch it you would use steam://run/230410 )

[Lynkon]

Would i put that after the leftmosuedown thing?

[Lynkon]

I have figured out how to launch a program but how do i replace the image? As in what it looks like. So change warframe to the warframe icon.

[Lynkon]

nevermind i messed it up

My only problem now is changing the icons. Here is the code:
ls1Name1= Warframe
ls1Icon1= #@#\shortcutIcons\temp.png
ls1Shortcut1= ["steam://run/230410"]
if someone could help me that would be great.

To change the icon you have yo find a new one. Once you have your icon browse to "Documents/Rainmeter/Skins/Desktop++++/#@#Resources/shortcutIcons" and place the icon in that folder. Now you can either delete the previous one named "temp.png" and rename your new icon to temp.png, or add yours with another name and go to the code and change the name. So if for example you name your icon "something.png " then you will have to change the code to:

Code: Select all

ls1Name1=                          Warframe
ls1Icon1=                          #@#\shortcutIcons\something.png
ls1Shortcut1=                      ["steam://run/230410"]
