Returning to a tab?
I'm rather new to rainmeter and have a quick question (I'm running enigma if that matters), when i launch chrome it gives me a whole new window, is there anyway i could get it to return me to my tab, like minimizing... all help is appreciated.
Re: Returning to a tab?
there is not much Rainmeter can do as long Chrome does not have a single instance option.
but here is a workaround:
you need RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe from this package: http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/84802
then change the Enigmas setting to

Code: Select all

Re: Returning to a tab?
okay, hit a wall here, i went through the steps and went into the options in @resources in the enigma folder and put "path\to\RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe" "path\to\chrome.exe" and it hasnt resolved my problem, i must be missing something small because ive done trial and error over and over and no result...

Re: Returning to a tab?
Does anything happen when you try to run the program, or nothing at all?
And can you tell us the exact paths you're using for RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe and chrome.exe?

Re: Returning to a tab?
this is what i'm seeing:
;-----------------------
; APPS
App1=Chrome
App1Path=chrome.exe
App1PathHandle=chrome.exe
App1Label=WEB
App1Icon=#@#Images\Launcher\Chrome.#ColorImage#.png
:So i filled the app1 with path\to\RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe and then filled app1path with path\to\chrome.exe
when i tried to open runormaximizeprogram it tells me no arguments passed
sorry if i'm being a pain, never done this before, thanks for the help.

Re: Returning to a tab?
Just to make it clear: You're not supposed to literally put "path\to\RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe" in there. You're supposed to replace it with the actual path to that file (like "C:\Program Files\RunOrMaximizeProgram\RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe").
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!
