Launch Button Problems

[pikadrew]

Hello, new to Rainmeter here! I just installed the Animus BlackRoom vr.1.2 skin, but am having problems with launching applications through the buttons.

For instance, the meter code I edited for the Google Chrome button looks like this.

Code: Select all

[Meter]
Meter=Button
ButtonImage=#CURRENTPATH#bChrome.png
X=3
Y=3
LeftMouseUpAction=!execute ["C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"]

When I click the button, nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I see nothing wrong with this. Are you double sure that path is right? I assume in your real code you have replaced "username" with the actual account where the software is?

Also, you want to use ButtonCommand= instead of LeftMouseUpAction= on a Button meter.

Oh right yes, I replaced username with my actual account.

I actually figured it out though, guess I just had to refresh the skin to get it to work. D'oh! Haha thanks for the help!
