I am having trouble with the Honeycomb skin. Honeycomb is a skin that provides neat looking desktop shortcuts to many commonly used applications and websites. All of the provided icons seem to work for me, except for googledrive. After some digging, I found that the author didn't include an image for the icon. I downloaded this png, placed it in the appropriate directory and renamed it correctly. Yet still, loading the skin does nothing, and the icon does not appear anywhere on the desktop, nor can I interact with it by clicking where it would be located (as if it were invisible).
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Where have you placed the image? How have you renamed it?eddie1101 wrote: ↑December 7th, 2019, 8:11 pm I downloaded this png, placed it in the appropriate directory and renamed it correctly.

It has to be in the Honeycomb\@Resources\Images folder and have to be named as googledrive.png. I suppose one of these (or both) doesn't match, because if they do, the icon is shown correctly. Just tried it and it is shown indeed.

It is indeed in the correct folder and it is renamed correctly, but loading the skin still yields no results.

Ok, please pack the whole Honeycomb config as you have it now and upload the package, to can take a look. It does work for me.

It works for me too.
Try restarting Rainmeter.
Right click the Rainmeter icon in the Notification Area and click Exit, then restart from the Start Menu.

Although trying it doesn't cost, I doubt this would help.

Re: Help W/ Honeycomb, google drive icon doesn't appear on desktop
Think I have found the reason, check the skin for this line
LeftMouseUpAction=["googledrive.exe"]
If you see that change it to
LeftMouseUpAction=["https://www.google.com/drive/"]
LeftMouseUpAction=["googledrive.exe"]
If you see that change it to
LeftMouseUpAction=["https://www.google.com/drive/"]

Restarting both Rainmeter and my computer didn't help. I did change the LeftMouseUpAction line, and while that would probably help if the icon were working in the first place, it still doesn't appear and there is no way to click on it anyways.
