[Solved] rmskin install - Open skin to center of the screen?

[kennyist]

Hi,

I'm trying to make an options skin appear when my skin is installed. At the moment I'm using Theme load, But it opens to the bottom right of the screen.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]

[AlanWake\Options]
Active=1
WindowX=((#SCREENAREAWIDTH# / 2) - 60)
Windowy=((#SCREENAREAWIDTH# / 2) - 60)

This skin itself is:
W=714
H=380

How would i get it to open to center?

To be honest, I would probably not do it in Rainmeter.ini. The problem there is that those calculated positions are lost and converted to hard coded values the second you move the skin. I'd put it in the skin itself:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
OnRefreshAction=!Move ((#SCREENAREAWIDTH#/2)-250) ((#SCREENAREAHEIGHT#/2)-150) #CURRENTCONFIG#

[MeterOne]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=255,0,255,255
W=500
H=300

And just have the Theme load the skin in question. That way, even if they move the skin for some reason, the next time they load it the skin will center again.
