Add a launch button to a skin?

[shenfier]

I want to add a button to the skin I'm using (theoretically just a button that looks like the firefox logo) that will launch firefox when I click it, but I don't know anything about programming and I couldn't find anything about this.. Can anyone tell me what to do or maybe link me to a skin with the button that I can just get it from? Thanks in advance! I'm posting a pic of my desktop so you can see my skin.

You could create a simple skin like this or add the meter in it to some existing skin:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[MeterFirefox]
Meter=Image
ImageName=Firefox.png
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla\firefox.exe"]

Change the path to firefox.exe to match where you actually have it of course.

Here is the image I used...

Firefox.png

Okay I'll try it out now!

EDIT

I had to tweak the directory a bit but I got it working fine now! Thank you! If I want to use a different program I just hafta find the right picture for it and change accordingly right? Just save it as a new .ini? Seems simple enough.
