open skin on mouse action

[ChrisMe]

Hello

I want to know if (and how) it is possible to open a skin from other other category by a mouse action. For example a LeftMouseDownAction somewhere on skin "System"(System.ini) opens the skin "Clock" (Clock.ini).
Sorry for my english.

Greatings Chris

From http://rainmeter.net/cms/Bangs:

!ActivateConfig [Config] (Ini-file)
Activates a new configuration ini-file. The ini-file is just the name of the file; do not include the path.
If the (ini-file) parameter is not included, then the next .ini file "variant" in the config folder is loaded.

So, if desired config is Clock\Clock.ini,

LeftMouseUpAction=!ActivateConfig Clock Clock.ini

or just

LeftMouseUpAction=!ActivateConfig Clock

Mind that the difference between LeftMouseDownAction and LeftMouseUpAction is ...DownAction disallows dragging.

LeftMouseUpAction=!ActivateConfig Clock Clock.ini

or just

LeftMouseUpAction=!ActivateConfig Clock

Hello

I read the bang explanation of Activating a Config and I've just tried in several ways, but it didn't work for me. Have you already managed such problem?

[Alex Becherer]

it does work exactly as it was described above.

do you mean you want to show an alreay running hidden config? then use the !Show !bang. or use both:
LeftMouseUpAction=[!ActivateConfig Clock][!Show Clock]

here's more detailed info: http://rainmeter.net/cms/Bangs_beta

Hello,

I've just installed the beta but If I try "LeftMouseUpAction=!ActivateConfig Clock" it doesn't open the skin Clock. I try this option with the normal "illustro" skin. The Clock.ini is in other folder.

[Alex Becherer]

try

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=[notepad.exe]

does this open the Windows text editor?

Yeah, that works for me.

[Alex Becherer]

now post the full path to Clock.ini

[ChrisMe]

now post the full path to Clock.ini

C:\Users\ChrisMe\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\illustro\Clock\Clock.ini

[Alex Becherer]

and now please read the first reply again.

So, if desired config is Clock\Clock.ini,

LeftMouseUpAction=!ActivateConfig Clock Clock.ini

or just

LeftMouseUpAction=!ActivateConfig Clock

your config is not the given example of Clock\Clock.ini but illustro\Clock\Clock.ini.
