Xtrem AppLauncher

Post by Marmalada »

If anyone has used Xtrem AppLauncher in rainmeter, I need some help modifying it. The launcher looks like this:

PLAY

MUSIC

MOVIES

PICTURES

COMPUTER

DOCUMENTS

When you hover your mouse over a heading or click one, a smaller sub menu appears to the right and down. My PLAY heading works with my game titles listed properly and when you click a title the game runs. The problem I ran into and can't get around is that for the other headings I want to list the stuff in them like my PLAY heading but not only with their titles. Like for my movie heading I want to display the thumbnails of the movies I have saved on my computer. For my pictures heading I want a small preview image of the pictures on my computer displayed. If anyone who has/uses this launcher and has maybe modified to something like I want here could help me out it would really help.

If you have seperate jpegs saved for thumbnails you can just replace the text with a image. Theres info on images in the manual.

Try it first, but if you get stuck post the original code so we can look at it and help you out.

Actually don't bother responding, I've found a better skin than this that I will use instead.
