Serenity skin - transparent with applications

Post by kanek »

Hello guys!
I recently downloaded Rainmeter and installed serenity skin. I really like it, everything works great but not time. It transparent with everything (browser, winrar, opened folder).

Only think I changed was color of the time. I even changed setting back to old one, but it is transparent even with white color. I don't really enjoy this. Can somebody help me? I was trying to find something in settings, but I didn't find anything
Thanks

In the time ini-file, the [Rainmeter] section, add something like

Code: Select all

BackgroundMode=2
SolidColor=128,128,128,255
and have a look at http://rainmeter.net/cms/Skins-Rainmeter_beta and http://rainmeter.net/cms/Meters-ColorCodes_beta :welcome:

Dude, how that should help me? It just made crappy square around the time, nothing more. It's still transparent and it didn't solved anything. Nothing about this problem in links anyway...

What's your problem ? As far as I can see in the preview of serenity the background of the time skin is transparent.
I would just put the time skin on "botttom" or "on desktop" in settings ...

You said your problem was transparency, didn't you... :?
If you meant it's on top of everything, change the position - right-click on the time, Settings, Position, and select On Desktop. Or something. :???:
