Making and opening a chrome Button

[rainmeternoob]

Hey guys i spent hours and tried a bunch of different codes to make a google chrome button. I dont understand how to get it to work. Any help will be appreciated. All i want is to either be able to add to an existing skin/ meter or make a button to open my internet browser. Thanks!

Sorry to be a nuisance, But I'm trying to create a button now and my picture wont work and i followed the code for your google command and that didnt work. The picture didnt work either. I'm bad at this lol. My google application was not in those folders so i tried this and it was still ineffective and like i said my png file didn't work. I'm really appreciative of your help and time.

[MeterChrome]
Meter=Button
X=1
Y=1
ButtonImage=StupidSithEmblem.png
Button Command=!Execute ["C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"]

Your code looks ok, you might want to take a look at this page: http://rainmeter.net/cms/Tips-ButtonImage to make sure you are creating the button image correctly.

Ah, I do see one mistake.

Button Command=!Execute ["C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"]

Should be:

ButtonCommand=!Execute ["C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"]

There is never a space in an option name.
