Set something in Rainmeter.ini from skin

[lysy1993lbn]

I sorry for asking if something like that is already possible, although I didn't found it in manual..

Would be wonderful if there will be a possiblity to set some variables once skin is loaded first time (and all it's settings are saved in Rainmeter.ini).
And not to set it if skin "section" is already present in Rainmeter.ini

I thought it might be as na new "section" or whatever call it (something like "hedaer" of [Variable] secion in skin).
To look for example

Code: Select all

[setConfig]
FadeDuration=155
StartHidden=1

etc.

BTW. Also option in Rainstaller to adding / resetting skin section in Rainmeter.ini file would be useful in case of instalation an updated skin

You could try something like this in the [Rainmeter] section of your skin:

Code: Select all

OnRefreshAction=!Execute [!WriteKeyValue ConfigName FadeDuration 155 #SETTINGSPATH#\Rainmeter.ini]

Just make sure that you do not place !Refresh in the list of bangs, otherwise your skin will end up in an endless loop of refreshing itself.

Code: Select all

OnRefreshAction=!Execute [!WriteKeyValue ConfigName FadeDuration 155 #SETTINGSPATH#\Rainmeter.ini]

Do not use this. A change done by the user through the Manage dialog, for example, would be lost due to this.

That's why I asked to introduce some native and "safe" feature for it..

This has been internally discussed in the past. I agree that it has some merits. In any case, it won't make it into 2.3. We might do something for 2.4.

Seeing as how 2.4 is on the horizon, is there any news on this? I'm still using

Code: Select all

OnRefreshAction=!Execute [!WriteKeyValue Konky AnchorX 50% #SETTINGSPATH#\Rainmeter.ini][!WriteKeyValue Konky AnchorY 100% #SETTINGSPATH#\Rainmeter.ini][!WriteKeyValue Konky WindowX 50% #SETTINGSPATH#\Rainmeter.ini][!WriteKeyValue Konky WindowY 100% #SETTINGSPATH#\Rainmeter.ini][!ZPos 2][!Redraw]

to keep a skin truly centered.

There are some proposals to implement "default" settings for specific skins. This will not be a part of the Rainmeter 2.4 Final release, but we may get to it during the 2.5 Beta. We have a lot of new stuff in the pipeline right now, so we ask for your patience. :)
