Back to 2.2 cause of TrayExecuteL out off the 2.3 releases

Post by Pakal »

That's sad, just go back to the 2.2 release cause the TrayExecuteL feature disapeared in the 2.3 releases.

I used to left click on the tray icon to hide all the skins in one time, and then I was able to lauch my games without clipping on skin refresh.
I was happy with the 2.3 release because the GraphStart=LEFT finally worked. It doesn't in 2.2 version.

So, if there is another simple way to hide all the skins (wihtout quitting rainmeter :lol: ), I'm your man..

What's the problem with usng for example TrayExecuteM (middle mouse click) or TrayExecuteR (right mouse click)

you could create a shortcut to Rainmeter and use [!Toggle] as command line argument.

Yes, why not. It does the job and hide... but quit Rainmeter.
I prefer not to quit it, but just hide all the skins.

My children use the TrayExecuteL feature like.. children.. so I will find a new tip to make that use easy for them.

Thanks

Yes I understand that I can find alternative bang command like TrayExecuteM or R, or Toggle, but in my mind, it is so simple to hide/unhide a program with a simple left click on his tray icon, don't you use it for another software ?
Is this feature not a "natural" one ?

That's all, it's just sad for me, and you give 2 or 3 alternatives solutions...

We removed TrayExecuteL because too many authors were removing the different methods to access the Manage dialog. Although holding CTRL while using the left mouse button on the tray icon still opens the Manage dialog, too many inexperienced users were complaining that they could not load/unload different skins.

Why not simply add a setting that allows usage of TrayExecuteL which is disabled by default so you have to turn it on? Cause I'm currently trying to do the same but I'm failing at getting TrayExecuteM to work at all but that's another story.

TrayExecuteL was disabled by default. You specifically had to create the TrayExecuteL action for it to work. Adding another option to dis/enable it would be redundant and achieve nothing.
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!
