I think I'm needing Skin Bang? Need some help.

[peejaygee]

Been using Rainmeter for a long time now, but I've got another need for it, two separate skins/setups for two separate environments, would like to start them from windows desktop shortcuts.

I'm using Elegant Reflections for one, I have time/date/cpu etc, all positioned on a monitor. I'm going to hunt for another skin and would only like the time on the screen (for a VR Overlay), but I'd like to have 'Elegant Reflections' start up from one shortcut when I'm doing one particular task, and then this other skin (yet to find/try) with another shortcut.

I appreciate Rainmeter would need to be shut down between switches, but I'd generally only have one skin a few days of the week, and the other, the other days, with machine restarts in between.

Is it at all possible with Rainmeter?

Thanks in advance.
PJ.

Maybe I am misunderstanding...but just an idea.

How about to use !LoadLayout bang in the Windows shortcut command line such as "C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe" !LoadLayout "Your Saved Layout"?
Explanation is here. Of course, you have to make two layouts for each setting.

Nope, you are ready my poor explanation correctly, that is what I'm needing two layouts I can call from a shortcut, that also means I can use the same theme, just a different layout for my needs.

I appreciate your time if explaining and linking for me, I'll be able to move forwards with this.

Thanks again.
