Saving Rainmeter Setup

Post by KCxLefty »

I am using the Enigma theme and i tweaked it around to my liking. I was going to format my harddrive soon and i wanted to know if i am able to save my setup exactly how it is?

I would first save your setup as a "theme", using the Theme tab in Manage from the Rainmeter context menu.

Then I would just make a copy of the folders:

C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins

and

C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter

and put them on a thumbdrive or something. There is a "backup" capability in Rainmeter under the "Themes" tab, and you could do that as well, but I really recommend playing it safe. I have seen a few folks have problems restoring those backups Rainmeter makes.
