How to fade a meter?

[Nilvarno]

have patience with me, i didn't manage to do a thing. i'm just THAT bad ç_ç

["#@#\Addons\TasKiller.exe" C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe]
This is the program that must be "gently" closed. The windows 10 app is "Files -Preview" an alternative to windows explorer. I really don't know where to begin to even search for the exe, and even then, i don't know what i have to write for the command line to work.

Ok, but why are you trying to use phone apps with Rainmeter? Unless I got this totally wrong, both TaskKiller and Files are phone apps mostly.

Anyway, using the taskkill command for MS Edge (similar approach for the other app, assuming you can find its executable - I can't help you with it since I don't know what app is that exactly, let alone have it installed on my computer), a RunCommand measure and a mouse action option attached to whatever meter you like would do the job:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[MeasureRun]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=RunCommand
Parameter=taskkill /IM "MicrosoftEdge.exe" 
State=Hide
OutputType=ANSI

[MeterRun]
Meter=String
FontSize=11
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1
Text=Click to Run
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureRun "Run"]

Of course, you can add other parameters to the command, see the links I mentioned earlier. As for doing this gently (as in not losing your opened tabs and all), it seems MS Edge is kind of bad at that, see here (and a bunch of other places as well) for similar issues (and typically poor solutions in MS software)...

thank you very much!
