Hello Everyone!

Post by T Hub22 »

Hey, I am new to this entire program and gotta say i love it. Kudos to PC World for mentioning you guys on there site for Top 5 ways to improve your computer.

Anyways, I have been tinkering around with this program for about a good week now and finally have created a desktop that I enjoy. Heres a photo of it:


Hmm, i cant get it to display ha....sorry

I have a few quick questions however. First, i cant figure out how to make the Launchers change. I put it new names and paths but when i would click on it, the old name (like "Firefox") would show back up for a second after i had it changed to "Chrome". Any idea why?

Also, when i put in a path to use Word or something, it doesnt open the application directly. It takes me to the file to where i have to then click the file to load Word. Same for my Internet Browser. How do i get it to directly open the application?

Thanks! Really enjoy and hope to get more involved with Rainmeter

I'm assuming you're using Enigma.
There's a Link meter, and a Link Active meter.
you have to change the Active one as well, or else it'll show the old text.

And for the shorcuts, add the filename.exe to it.
As in #SomePath#\Program Files\Mozilla\Firefox.exe
