How to activate group skins

[TugaMan]

I have created some groups in the Rainmeter.ini and now I need to activate and deactivate these groups. To deactivate I easily use the !DeactivateConfigGroup, and it works just fine, but it seems that the activate group bang does not exist...

How can solve this? I can't use the !ToggleGroup because I have a lot of animated skins with low update values, and because this bang only shows/hides the skins, it makes my computer very slow. That's why the use of Activate/Deactivate group skins is so important to me. Hope someone can help...

Unfortunately, you can only use config groups to target active skins. You'll need to load each skin by name.

If you need to send the activate command in multiple places, it may help to assign the command string as a variable:

Code: Select all

[Variables]
ActivateGroup=[!ActivateConfig "Config1" "Config1.ini"][!ActivateConfig "Config2" "Config2.ini"][!ActivateConfig "Config3" "Config3.ini"]

...

[Meter]
LeftMouseUpAction=#ActivateGroup#

Damn, that totally sucks... Thanks anyway...

I'm still trying to find a solution to this... Is it possible to count the number of variables in a skin?

No, not directly.

Maybe you could explain a little about what you're trying to accomplish?

Nevermind... I think I'll complicate it too much. It's better to make it simple... Thanks any way...

My guess would be something like:

Code: Select all

X=10
Y=20
Z=30

where VariableCount = 3 because there's three variables, I think that's what he was meaning.

I know. I just thought that understanding the context might be helpful in finding an alternative method.
