Activate a separate Config from my main Skin.

Post by suvroadrage »

I currently run a modified skin which starts as a button on the desktop which when toggled shows and hides the skin when I need to have an uncluttered desktop. I use fairly long ShowAll and HideAll [Variables] for the meters to complete this.
[Overlay2]
Meter=Button
X=25
Y=950
ButtonImage=Small Size System Button.png
ButtonCommand=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter Overlay2]#HideAll#[!
RainmeterRedraw][!RainmeterShowMeter Overlay1]

[Overlay1]
Meter=Button
X=r
Y=r
ButtonImage=Small Size System Button.png
ButtonCommand=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter Overlay1]#ShowAll#[!RainmeterRedraw][!RainmeterShowMeter Overlay2]
I am also using one of VClouds weather configs, however right now it stays on the desktop when I use the Button to Show/Hide the Main config. I have thought about copying over all the settings from VClouds into my Main config, but to his credit VClouds has a very detailed and complex setup which would be far to complicated for me to add in.

What's the best way to get VClouds to Show/Hide with my existing button?

You could do this with the !Toggle bang, or the !ToggleConfig bang.

!Toggle will show/hide the config you specify.
!ToggleConfig will activate/deactivate the config you specify

Thanks. Took a while but I finally got it to work. I had to isolate and make sure the config I wanted to toggle was not running. After that, I'm good. :thumbup:

I guess we call this one closed.
