Multiple instances of the same .ini?

Post by Dimak »

Hey all,

I was wondering if it was possible to run multiple instances of the same .ini file.

Is it possible?

Not from the same file. Each actual skin must be run from a unique .ini file and config folder. However, it would be easy to make one skin run as an identical copy of another skin:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
@include=#SKINSPATH#Folder\File.ini
Just make sure that the "source" skin includes the full paths to all necessary images, scripts, etc. For example,

Code: Select all

ImageName=Image.png
will only work for the original skin where "image.png" is located. But

Code: Select all

ImageName=#SKINSPATH#Folder\Image.png
will work for all skins, because the location is "absolute."
