I really like the custom actions option. So much was possible with that and you used so few images
. There must be many more advanced things that could be done. Maybe I'm not thinking large enough
. Baby steps #1 priority though. Perhaps an Interface should be a thing. Kinda like the one you put in your original RE Suite which had to of taken you some time to create, as I'm having trouble understanding how it was put together.
When you made it, did you prioritize user options or graphics? Click a button - do stuff - rinse repeat? then group them into a type of batch file? Either way its something I would like to figure out later down the road. Most of the Ideas I came across for this were from - the Computers that Dr. Isaacs used in the films. Some of the others came from the games. It was brought to my attention that maybe other people would want it. So I've been trying to keep an open mind. Even going as far as putting hidden Zombies in the suite to add effect. Though a little humorous it isn't needed. Most computer users are of average knowledge about pc's. So putting things in that are too advanced may not be the best idea. Things that help the user organize or help them manage tasks is harder to accomplish. Everyone has something they like individually. So my focus just went to ultimate pc--- Do everything. Hide stuff on purpose, make things easy, allow for advanced usage and allow customization. To do all of this really is a challenge. Prolly why there are so few complete suites that have it all. J.A.R.V.I.S caught my eye as well... maybe I'll incorporate some similar ideas. If I could put Cortana's nerve center into rainmeter..
anyways.... I found an alternative. Its just a matter of looks at the moment. Hence the Red Queen. I'll keep grinding for now. Piecing together the look. PS: you have not minimized anything, you've made my life easier to deal with lol.
Seriously though:
Would it be difficult to make a little command box?
#Click - Bring up text box
#Type in command
#Bring up module/skin with button function?
#hide skin from rainmeter control
(Looking to make red queen a type of Parent object)
The Top bar houses many keys/functions but visually, If they are hidden.... It might give a whole new feel to rainmeter.
Or maybe do something like - Hover over red queen and graphically grow surrounding skins.
On a second note: I made some changes to the top Bar. (Still working on my Colored text problem and working in loaded feeds like Cam4 has issue)
I also made a new folder called Virus'
and put C,G,T, Plagas buttons inside to clean things up a bit.

How did you make a video thing of the vial in action in the post?
A gift for you. I have a real one with my real info on it and a real badge to go with it.
PSS: StringStyle=Resident Evil error shows up in Rainmeter. Dunno Why, I included it into a Fonts folder.
