Vanishing skins after minimizing all windows

Post by baraket »

Hi,i'm pretty new to the software,i got it a few hours ago,and i already got some skins for it.

I'd like to ask if it's possible to make it so the skins don't disappear in case i press the "minimize all windows" shortcut (default is windows key + d).I noticed if i use the original skin (illustro) i can do that and they will stay there,but for custom skins,at least for both i have,they'll just disappear if i do it,only being brought back if i open/switch to a new window and normally minimize it.

I suspect this can be changed on the skin's own config file,but i'm new to it and i don't want to mess anything up ^^'

So anyway,any help would be much appreciated.

Right-click skin->Settings->Position->On desktop
If it doesn't stay there for some reason make sure you have the latest beta of Rainmeter installed.
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!

In fact, if you have the Latest beta installed, you don't need to do anything...
