HELP!?

[murphy3051]

Hey guys, I just got Rainmeter. I have a picture here. You can see the Apps, music, pictures, videos. Lets say I want to add Skype to the Apps tab. How would I go about doing this? I have no clue. I can't drag it in there either.

Well that skin/object AlienFiles is somewhat basic.
When you open Rainmeter you should see Alien on the Left, just doubleclick it to open that folder and look for AlienFiles and open that.
Inside there is the AlienFiles.ini. Select the AlienFiles.ini and on the top Right you should see Edit.
Click the Edit button and that will open (open with Notepad or Notepad++) the AlienFiles.ini file.
(see Attachments:)

scroll down in AlienFiles.ini and you should see [Variables]:

APPS=C:\Users\Kalin\Documents\Desktop
IMAGES=C:\Users\Kalin\Pictures
MUSIC=C:\Users\Kalin\Downloads\Music
VIDEOS=C:\Users\Kalin\Downloads\Video
Download=C:\Users\Kalin\Downloads

Delete all the above and replace it with:

Copy and paste this:

Code: Select all

APPS=C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Desktop
IMAGES=C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Pictures
MUSIC=C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Music
VIDEOS=C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Videos
Download=C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Downloads

Note: replace [USERNAME] with your login Name
"I may have made this more complicated then what it is, but all you are doing is replacing the USERNAME"

Example of what the code should look like.

[Variables]

APPS=C:\Users\SlompOchomp\Desktop
IMAGES=C:\Users\SlompOchomp\Pictures
MUSIC=C:\Users\SlompOchomp\Music
VIDEOS=C:\Users\SlompOchomp\Videos
Download=C:\Users\SlompOchomp\Downloads

All this code does is open those folders; it's not flashy and does not popout whats in those folders or anything special. If thats what your looking to do then you may want to look at ObjectDock.
All due respect to ~Mic831 for creating this theme.
