noob creating skin unable to get image

Post by onehotday »

I'm trying to start an image for a skin however the image will not appear and can not get it to work.
this is the code I used....
[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[Airline cockpit]
Meter=Image
ImageName="C:\Users\oneho_000\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Airline Cockpit\@Resources\Images\png"
H=100
W=100
What I'm I doing wrong?

Correction as the path folder is "C:\Users\oneho_000\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Airline Cockpit\@Resources\Images\3.png"

Probably the image name is wrong. I think the name of the image should be Images[color=#FF0000].[/color]png, instead of the posted Images[color=#FF0000]\[/color]png.

Tip: Never, but never, don't use the @Resources folder as you did. Instead use the #@# variable, which refers to the proper @Resources folder. Details: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/skins/resources-folder/.
So, I think your code should look like:

Code: Select all

[code][Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[Airline cockpit]
Meter=Image
ImageName=#@#Images.png
H=100
W=100
[/code]
Sorry, I read your last post a bit late, right after I posted my reply.
First replace the ImageName option, as I wrote above. Make sure the image is there and has the proper format.
