A totally Frankenstein'd, left-screen dock :sly: with modified skins for use in Wharf
These are some of the best Rainmeter creations (IMO), so adding them to my WHARF package I hope is taken as a form of flattery :rosegift:
And all of it has Creative Commons licensing.

V 1.2022.11.16
- Added New Panel: Google Search | Quick Links | Quotes
- Modified Mouse-click actions to MouseOver | MouseLeave reactions
- Corrected background toggle causing incorrect MouseLeave reactions

Thanks sl23!

The thought was for a skin to show the common items, like time and weather, and provide links to notes, news and media while not distracting you from your desktop work.

It fulfilled most of my original concept.
Thanks again! :bow:

You may not...
That was left in as an option for end users who use Groove Music or other unsupported players.
The plugin has some advantages and limitations, but it was left in as an option anyway.

It is a simple matter to scroll over the Title area to get past that optional interface... :D

No, it cannot play videos. That was looked into in this thread (Rain Video) Not to self-promote :oops:

Here is the forum thread about the Media Plugin, which handles Groove Music and several other unsupported players by using Window's API to gather information on the media being played.
