Modified some formulas to improve the icon's centering.
To give users even more tools to make this search bar theirs, I've added a few more variables to the User.inc file (accessible through Right Click > Preferences...).
New variables:
Width
barCorners
strokeWidth
alphaBackground
alphaIcon
alphaText
alphaStroke
Now the user can type width and corners, which means the closed version of the bar can be a square or rectangle with rounded corners instead of only a simple circle. Now it is possible to add a stroke, and also change it's color.

Changes to the general context menu (Right Click):
"Change Color" option has a sub-menu to select between background and stroke color.
New "Change Orientation" option. Now it is possible to open the bar from right to left, left to right or from the center. (Right Click > Change Orientation)

New engine:
Added "Edge.ini" engine as an example on how to search using a specific program.

Other changes:
Changed mWidth variable name to maxWidth. (Width when the bar is open).
Changed textContrast from 7 to 8.
Changed nWidth variable name to vWidth (variable width)
Now text size won't be affected by the iconScale variable.
Reddit icon is now only the white character (without the orange circle)

Hey, I'm afraid I don't really understand the use case scenario. Isn't it using Ctrl + v the same? Could you please elaborate?
Of course, to reduce dependence on the keyboard.
I can't explain the scenario exactly, but I thought it would be more useful.
I don't know where i going from here, but i promise it won't be boring...

Yeah I get the part of reducing dependence on the keyboard. What is not clear to me is the clipboard part.
All I can think of is like a recent searches list, that saves the last 5 entered queries. Or maybe a drop down list that can store 5 favorite "links".
I actually had already think of it but I'm still not sure about what functionality would be the best. But I had already made the drop down list:

I'd like you to explain a little more about the clipboard part, since it sounds interesting (although I'm still not sure about it, since all search engines would share the same clipboard history, instead of having options only relevant to that engine).

I suppose tass_co is talking about adding a "search into clipboard" feature, along the other types of search. For example looking for "John" in the "John went to Las Vegas." text copied in the clipboard. Either that, or looking for a specific clipboard text or item in the Win + V clipboard history (assuming it's enabled in Win 10+). Just guessing here...

Interesting, I'll see what I can come up with, although I don't think it would be an actual feature, but yet another search engine that uses clipboard+ plugin to do so. I'll finish the Drop Down List functionality and then I'll see how to implement that.
For now the list goes like this:
ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter (1).gif
It is a simple list with 10 items that can be modified, each item has 2 variables, the item tile and the query, so practically if the engine is a browser, you can store 10 websites. If it's a google search bar you can store queries. The title can be modified as well. So the chrome bar would have "Bookmarks" as title but the Google one could be something else. The bar can also be disabled if not needed on a particular search bar.
The clipboard search bar could use the list to store the items on the clipboard hostory, and simply choose one from there, although with that the "search" feature wouldn't even be necessary lol

Very nice work, by the way.
Thanks

Yep, indeed. Well, I was just giving a shot at guessing what tass_co meant, he was the one with the proposal so I can't speak too much about the utility of such an additional search engine. I think it's more like a nice feature to have, rather than an absolute necessity. I have no idea if it can be implemented in a feasible manner in a Rainmeter skin, given that I didn't work too much with the clipboard plugin or have a need for such a feature myself.
