Re: [Feature Request] [Bangs] Game Mode
We talked about this and decided not to do it. We believe Game mode should be entirely under the control of the end-user.

Re: [Feature Request] [Bangs] Game Mode
Then what about an automatic game mode that detects full screen applications?

No, we really think it needs to be controlled by the end-user, by using the Rainmeter tray icon.

This has been discussed more times before. For instance: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=129&t=33882&start=10#p167763

Re: [Feature Request] [Bangs] Game Mode
I understand fully, but we have a certain philosophy about how Rainmeter behaves, starting with the open-source nature of it, and how we manage the community here, and what we think should be in the control of skin "authors" vs. what we think should be in the control of skin "users". In this case, we just don't think it is appropriate that a skin "author" ever be able to force a user into Game mode. We think this should be an explicit action by the end-user, part of controlling the "application", not part of controlling a "skin".

Code: Select all
CONFIGS := []

FileRead, OUT, C:\Users\Charlotte\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.ini
OUT := RegExReplace(OUT, "s).*?(\[[^\n]*?\])..Active=[^0]", "$1")
OUT := RegExReplace(OUT, "s)([^\n]*]).*", "$1")
OUT := RegExReplace(OUT, "\[(.*?)]", "$1]")
CONFIGS := StrSplit(OUT, "]")
Loop % CONFIGS.MaxIndex() {
CurrentConfig := CONFIGS[A_Index]
run, C:/Program Files/Rainmeter/Rainmeter.exe !DeactivateConfig %CurrentConfig%
}
}
OpenClosedConfigs(){
global CONFIGS
Loop % CONFIGS.MaxIndex() {
CurrentConfig := CONFIGS[A_Index]
run, C:/Program Files/Rainmeter/Rainmeter.exe !ActivateConfig %CurrentConfig%
}
