Off/Restart/Sleep

Post by 4nt1p0p »

Hi guys. I was wondering if there is any way to make rainmeter skins for Turn off PC, Restart, Sleep or Log out. I was browsing through net and found various plugins that are avaible to run windows processes so I thought they might be good to use for it together with some quit rainmeter plugin. But I am not really a PC fanatic so I dont have clue whats the name of these processes or how to get it done finally in rainmeter.

Thanks in advance, regards. :welcome:

It's a very common type of skin folks make. If you go to DeviantART at http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/sysmonitor/rainmeter/?order=5 and search for "shutdown" or "sleep" or "power" you will find lots of skins that you can either use or tear apart to see how they work.

Thanks. I wil ldefinetly check that out. I forgot about another problem :? :D
Is there a way I could make a taskbar skin which would actually show the tasks? I found only startbutton and a plugin that use mouse click to display tasks in popup.

No, Rainmeter cannot be used to create a reasonably functional taskbar.
