Have a nice day!

Oh, ok! Thank you so much!! I will try that then and let you know!!

EDIT : OMG! IT REALLY WORKS! And also just the way I needed it, simple but still good looking! I do not know how to thank you, I really wish for the best, and now I can just keep finishing whatever else I need on my own, without issues! Thank you so much!!! Really!!! I have still 10 days left from now, this is way more than enough to wrap things up and make the skin look better. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Good luck then!

[Ao Nuu Shin]

Good luck then!

Thanks! I think I'll need it. haha

I hope she likes it. She's a programmer, so, this would seem like a "very cute" try from my end to her.

Uh, I added a discord executable in the launcher, too, as a 6th item, it works like a charm! I can do more things and even add more, I am in the process of finishing touches now, all thanks to you!

Yeah, the skin is meant to be flexible. Apart from the already existing MouseActions of the button and the [MT_Launcher_Button:X-Y-W-H] formulas determining the X,Y,W and H in the meters, everything can be changed or added on. You could, for example, set different colors to each of the items, by changing each SolidColor option on the items, change fonts or their size, increase or decrease the distance between items by modifying the Y=5R lines to, say, Y=2R or Y=10R, and so on. The other parameters should adapt to your modifications accordingly (hence the formulas).

Dude, like, you are awesome!! I wanted to make a big tooltip text icon, like a tutorial, every time you click it, it will show you another tip. I'll like put 3 tips in it, so she can see and knows/remember what to do and how to drag with ctrl some of the skins. But I settled down with a tooltip text on the launcher on how to move it around the desktop. Man, you are amazing!

Honestly, thank you all, especially Yincognito and Balala! I am in your debt.
