Skins won't intall

Post by Jaski »

I'm new to Rainmeter so I'm trying to install skins. It is taking forever to install (I assume it wont stop) and I can't find any fixes. Please help

Can you please describe what you're doing to install those skins?

If you want (or don't know how to) read this from Rainmeter documentation:

I am installing it automatically. I can't find any manual downloads for the skins I want (Honeycomb and TranslucentTaskbar 1.2)

and start sample.ini in rainmeter manage
I can't find the Rainmeter manage thing you are talking about and I do have TranslucentTaskbar.dll tagged

I found a manual download for the TranslucentTaskbar skin ( https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=24879 ) but when I put it in the Skin folder it didn't show up in Rainmeter

Then you do not have the Rainmeter program installed. Installation info

The program is available from this link.

When you install the Rainmeter program and run it for the first time, illustro default skins will load, and you will have a raindrop icon in the notification area of your task bar. Click that to access Manage, a window that let's you load/unload/edit installed skins and manage other settings.

Now you can download skins (.rmskin files) and double-click the files to automatically install them in your Skins folder.

The Rainmeter program takes less than a minute to install.
Skins usually install in a few seconds.

Do clean uninstall and re-install.

You should see ... these skins
