I suggest you upgrade to the latest 2.2 beta, where you can use:

Code: Select all

!Execute ["#PROGRAMPATH#SkinInstaller.exe" /LoadTheme themeName]

1) You need to get the latest 2.2 beta version to be able to change themes from a skin or the command line. Once you have the beta installed, you can use:

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["#PROGRAMPATH#SkinInstaller.exe" /LOADTHEME NameOfTheme]

on any meter and it will load that them. If you saved a wallpaper in Manager under "Themes" it will also apply it when it loads the theme.

2) No idea. I don't use a single desktop icon.
