@jsmorley: Yeah I completely forgot about other wallpaper positioning styles until after I released. I can probably add a percentage system, all I'd really need is to see if there's a '%' in there. I'll shoot for adding that in 1.5.1. It'd be nice if I could get the actual image Windows was displaying, and not the source file it's pulling it from, but barring that I'll need to look into "pre-cropping" and maybe scaling the image based on the actual Windows wallpaper settings. Just a shame to have to do all that work a second (and third and fourth and n-th) time when Windows has already done it.

I don't believe Windows "stores" a final, cropped and resized, image when it sets the wallpaper. I personally believe the work you would need to do to figure out what Fit / Fill / Stretch / Center / Tile / Span would transmogrify the original image into when displayed on the desktop (and with multiple monitors who even knows what that might mean) would be really difficult and resource intensive. I think supporting a percentage is about the closest you are going to reasonably get, although even that won't be perfect.
I'm reading up and it looks like it's ALMOST possible. Except it captures everything on the desktop, not just the background. Oh well. At least it's absurdly easy to get how Windows wants to treat backgrounds thanks to this function.

Looks like two users have made my wish come true for something I was looking for back in 2013 for my now playing skins. Thanks to both users for making these!
Edit: Is there a way of checking whether a user has the plugin installed or not and conditionally changing the skin to show/hide an option if so?

Hi,
Thank you Socks the Fox for your help. I found the solution (I mispelled a f**ck*ng [Meter] name...).
Now, I want to tint an image with the [aaBG1] color value, but even by taking some code from your example .rmskin, it doesn't want to work... ^^
