Need help making changes to a skin..

Yes you understand.

Ok, then you have to edit the @Resources\Applist.inc file. Identify the icon you want to use to close Spotify and deactivate the Elegant Music Player. Do you know which icon do you want to use?
If you do, first you have to add a RunCommand plugin measure to the end of the same @Resources\Applist.inc file (after the Gamedir12 variable). Add it:

Code: Select all

[MeasureRun]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=RunCommand
Parameter=taskkill /im Spotify.exe
State=Hide
OutputType=ANSI

Take care that here you have to add to the Parameter option, the name of the appropriate process, which you want to close when you run this measure. I just supposed the name of the process of Spotify, is Spotify.exe (as said, I'm not using this program, so I'm not sure how the proces is called). If it is not, you have to replace Spotify.exe in the Parameter option, with the appropriate name.
Now replace the GamedirXX variable (the previously identified variable) within the mentioned @Resources\Applist.inc file with the following one: Gamedir4=[!CommandMeasure "MeasureRun" "Run"][!ToggleConfig "Elegant Music Player\Elegant Music Player" "Elegant Music Player.ini"].
Does this work?

I believe the process of Spotify, is Spotify.exe, but how can i check to make sure?

This is the code i have now. At 1st this was not working but after a restart of Rainmeter it is. So i guess on to the last step.

Code: Select all

Well, extremely simple: launch Spotify then click Spotify icon in your skin. If Spotify closes, that's it, otherwise you have to look for another name. Does the icon closes Spotify?

[Springchiken]

yes

[balala]

yes

Ok, in this case it indeed is Spotify.exe. Found it.

[Springchiken]

I was thinking since im doing everything else with this code

Code: Select all

Gamecover2=Spotify.png
Gamedir2=[!CommandMeasure "MeasureRun" "Run"][!ToggleConfig "Elegant Music Player\Elegant Music Player" "Elegant Music Player.ini"]

can i also just add a command to start Spotify?

You mean, to another icon of the skin?

[Springchiken]

I can do that if that way it needs to be. But are you able to get one icon on the dock to do all of it. Run=spotify and Elegant Music Player,
Then with same icon kill=spotify and Elegant Music Player. It already does all but run spotify.

Can be done, but you you need to apply a trick.
Add a Process plugin measure to the code (can be added after the [MeasureRun] measure, into the @Resources\Applist.inc file):

Code: Select all

[MeasureSpotify]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Process
ProcessName=Spotify.exe
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#>0)
IfTrueAction=[!SetVariable Gamedir4 """[!CommandMeasure "MeasureRun" "Run"][!ToggleConfig "Elegant Music Player\Elegant Music Player" "Elegant Music Player.ini"][!Delay "1000"][!Update]"""][!UpdateMeter "Icon4"]
IfFalseAction=[!SetVariable Gamedir4 """["ADD-COMPLETE-PATH\Spotify.exe"][!ToggleConfig "Elegant Music Player\Elegant Music Player" "Elegant Music Player.ini"][!Delay "1000"][!Update]"""][!UpdateMeter "Icon4"]

Take care to add to the IfFalseAction option the complete and exact path of the Spotify.exe file.
If you encounter issues and Spotify isn't closed when it should be, increase the delay period within the !Delay bang of the IfFalseAction option. The update should happen right after Spotify starts up, but I'm not sure how long takes to start it up.

IfFalseAction=[!SetVariable Gamedir4 """["C:\Users\Jason Stacey\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Spotify.exe"][!ToggleConfig "Elegant Music Player\Elegant Music Player" "Elegant Music Player.ini"][!Delay "1000"][!Update]"""][!UpdateMeter "Icon4"]

And what spot was it meant to go in?
