There are no 'Layers' in Rainmeter...

For Meters:
All meters in a skin are drawn in the order they appear in the file.

For Skins:
ZPos can position skins (not meters) when they are loaded.
LoadOrder can arrange skins with the same ZPos, but not skins with different ZPos values.

Depending on what you are experiencing, you may need to modify your approach. :???:

How I want It to load

vs. how It loads

Is there a way to set the order that It loads? I am using this as a simple example.I am trying to create something different that I will share when done.I am still learning and may seem like a knucklehead, but the skin that I am actually working on requires this.Of course, I haven't added meters etc. yet that you will see, and I am not sharing till done.Never underestimate a noob :twisted:
