I think that Description= and Instructions= are deprecated options, and we should use Information= instead, but I didn't find about it in documentation.

I know about this. But there is no information about Description= and Instructions=. You can use them instead of Information=. This is why I am asking if there some other "hidden" options in metadata section.CyberTheWorm wrote: ↑November 28th, 2019, 3:19 pm https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/skins/metadata-section/
There are some previous and deprecated options for Metadata. Just use the ones in the documentation, the others are just there for backwards compatibility reasons. Description and Instructions, if found, are just moved to Information when the skin is displayed in Manage. Any other deprecated options are just ignored.oZone wrote: ↑November 29th, 2019, 2:12 pm I know about this. But there is no information about Description= and Instructions=.

I am asking here so I don't have to look through rainmeter source code.

One last note, if Information is found, then Description and Instructions are ignored. If Information is not found, than any Description and Instructions are moved to become the Information entry, with a linefeed between them.
