Show / Hide desktop shortcut icon with Mouse Click

Post by the_metal_lord »

Is it possible to create a Rainmeter skin where clicking on image will show or hide all the desktop shortcuts?
OR is there already any skin does that?

Rather than showing or hiding, it can be, different too, like how android folders work.

Not really - only using Rainmeter alone.

But you can create your own icons using Bangs:

There are many ways to be different - there is only one way to be yourself - be amazing at it

The law of averages says what it means; even if you get everything right, you will get something wrong. Therefore; self managing error trapping initiates another set of averages - amongst the errors, some of them will not be errors, instead those instances will appear to be "luck". One cannot complain of the 'appearance' of 'infinite regress of causation', even if it does not have a predictable pattern, only that it requires luck to achieve.

Download and install this skin I made. You click on the red box and it hides/unhides the desktop icons.

You can modify it as you wish.

Thanks a lot! This is really awesome.

Is it possible to exclude any shortcut icons (like- recycle bin)?

I'm afraid this would only be possible only by rewriting the executable of which I do not have the original code to do so, or provide you with, in case you wanted to do it.
