[HELP] Creating A Specific Rainmeter Skin

[cyborg143]

Hello everyone!

I would like to learn on how to create a rainmeter skin.


A skin where when you click on the icon, it opens a box with your applications or programs in it.
(Somewhat similar to this)
I would actually like to learn on how to make this kind of skin. (open-close skin)
I would also like to learn how to change the sizes of the icons...


*Actually, i havent tried making a skin yet since im new to rainmeter.
But i will do my best to understand the information you guys would share to me

Thank You!

Rainmeter !Bangs no longer need to be preceded by thr "Rainmeter" bit, so you first line in the example you supplied which shows [!RainmeterHideMeter BG] should now read [!HideMeter BG].

The Rainmeter manual can be found here, the !Bangs section is here. Happy reading...
