Newbie with PDF Rainmeter Manual

[kirbycro]

Hi there,

my nickname is Kirby and I've been following Rainmeter's development for some time. Unfortunately I'm to busy to participate in more active manner, but there was one thing I've thought I could do.

As I was fumbling with Rainmeter I had to be online to access help (manual), and sometimes it was not possible, so I've decided to make pdf document for offline use.

I have tried to maintain all the links (inner and outer) as well as the original layout (and looks) with only exception of examples - these have been placed at the end of the document (links within the chapters are opening the corresponding example pages) and at the end of the examples there is "back" link - which will take you
back to the "calling" page.

I really don't know if this is of any interest to you people, but as I'm a newbie here, could you please tell me if I should upload the "Rainmeter Manual (beta).pdf" - and if so, how and where?

Greetings,
Kirby

Feel free to host it somewhere and post a link in a message here, but that is not something we want to commit to as a regular thing. Our manual (the beta for sure, and even the release one) is subject to change at any time and the last thing we want is something out of date by even one day floating around.

Yes, of course. It was ment as quickly accessible help for regular (but "how was it? ) moments. Anyhow, I'll host it somewhere and post the link here. It was done with the release 1229 out.
Thank you for your reply.

Hi I tried to use the link but its not working can u please fix it, I would really love to have it coz I don't access the web very often and i'm a big rainmeter fan and would like to be able to edit my skin easily

[kirbycro]

Sorry for the delay.
Here is the link for the latest version I've done.

Rainmeter Manual v2.4 beta r1623 (pdf)

https://server.backup.comodo.com/json/direct/default/Rainmeter/Rainmeter+Manual+v2.4+beta+r1623.pdf?key=5d8a4096-dbf8-4568-aa96-ce2024f913bd

There are many new things in the latest versions of Rainmeter, so maybe it would be better if you could download the html pages from site for offline reading. The basics are still ok though. Hope it would help a little.

Greetings.

I've been looking for an off line manual too. Just a thought, but can't you release a .chm file with all the manual info in it? I don't always have internet available so have to wait weeks to get the info I need to do something sometimes. It would be helpful to many others too I'm sure...
