Thanks, didn't try it, but looked through the code, it seems fine. Just curious though, all those Remote-Active-....ini are older and newer variants of the code or just stuff you load depending on the button pressed or the like? I liked the images / icons, very consistent design inspired from Stargate and adapted to a remote layout, and the code is of course adjusted to your specific objectives.
Where I would have proceeded differently (if I was you, which I'm not, as it's the author's prerogative) is trying to create less shorcuts / use less scripts and avoid writing to the registry, plus enclosing all bangs between square brackets just to be consistent all around. It's not that it isn't safe, or the code is faulty, it's just that generally, many of the actions there could have been replicated from within Rainmeter (yes, I know you're ATM more comfortable with scripts until you fully get the pulse of Rainmeter code, it's just a personal preference). Plus, if you're going to distribute it someday, users will be expecting such an approach and things to preferably happen with as few system adjustments as possible, in an environment they can easily control and adjust themselves via a code they already know how to handle. Obviously, as a personal skin is perfectly fine, since you know best how you'd prefer stuff to happen.
So, it's a special design and a special approach. Certainly very good for just starting out with skins!
P.S. Oh,and one other thing: you don't need to pack things into a .zip, Rainmeter has its own (also .zip based) skin packager that does the same thing with the added benefit of simply having to double click on the .rmskin file to install the skin in a "standard" fashion. In general, folks here resort to plain archives when a skin doesn't fit the 10 MB upload limit of an attachement on the forum, otherwise they go with the skin packager variant.
