You can create a skin to use as a "hotspot" on the screen that will turn your skins on and off by just moving your mouse to it.
This does not "unload" the skins, and they keep working in the background, but are just "hidden".
The skin:
[Rainmeter]
Update=500
[MeterHotspot]
Meter=Image
W=5
H=5
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
MouseOverAction=!ToggleGroup MySkins
Then in Rainmeter.ini, (Edit settings from the context menu) in each [ConfigName] section, just add the line:
Group=MySkins
If there is already a Group= line there, like Group=Enigma, just add your group name with Group=Enigma | MySkins
Don't add this group name to the hotspot skin itself....
Stick this invisible hotspot in the corner of your monitor or wherever you like it, and when you move your mouse over it, all Rainmeter skins will be hidden. When you want to restore them, just move the mouse back up there again.
Hey, hello! Remember me? Eh, well, first I want to thank you again for helping everyone with the rainmeter projects, I'm happy that I am a part here with all of you. Second, I have a question to make, i'm working on a new project, and I created two opposite bars for desktop, a left and a right. With this toggle thingy, will I be able to have hidden them on the sides of the screen? Like, whenever the mouse is not pointing on them, they won't appear, and when the mouse moves on the sides they will appear. example ( moving on left side, the bar shows itself.)
I have the code ready, If you want to see it to get an idea, just tell me and I will paste it here.
