Rainmeter double Skins

Post by LoginDaten »

Hello,

I have a question and I would like to have a skin that is on my 1st screen also on my 2nd screen. So my question is how can I open the same skin twice.

Greetings,

Install it once. Don't load the skin (or unload it if it loads automatically) and rename its config (for example add a 2 to the end of the config's name). Make a refresh all. Install the skin second time. Now you can load both instances of the skin.

To be clear, you need to make a second copy of the config folder that the skin is in. Don't just make a copy of the skin .ini file.

..Rainmeter\Skins\LeftClock\Clock.ini
..Rainmeter\Skins\RightClock\Clock.ini
