Included 'About' file:
'Dynamic' suite, for the Windows system monitoring tool, Rainmeter, was designed to simplify setup and changes to the skin as related to the end users system.
Menus and Dockable Launch Icons can be dynamically setup by middle-clicking and selecting the desired link to a folder or file located on your system. Button titles, Icon tooltips, and menu details are all handled in the skin.
There is no need to make changes to the code. Adding additional menus or icon launchers is as simple as copying a folder, changing folder and menu name, and refreshing Rainmeter.
This skin grew from my desire to have a list that could be navigated to select items. It started with 'Music Nav', progressed to 'I-Radio', explored 'Dynamic Menus' on the forum, and ends here with 'Dynamic'.
This skin makes use of the FileView plugin created by Brian Ferguson and also Simple Launcher by XANCI. Thanks!
UPDATE to Version 1.3252013 (See first post to download)
Updated skin menu functions: Added button to menu bar to individually set each menu to your desired item count (10 to 25 items ... in cycling steps of 5 items)
Added button to menu bar to close the current menu list
Changed the preview image; now shows sample menu
Changes in Version 1.422013: Added 5 themes select from the Welcome~Settings Screen
Integrated Multi-Search/Run; now scroll selects 13 sites or Run
Show/Hide All Skins using top screen edge (eliminates Win 8 hot-corner conflict)
Dock Items will now toggle with Hide/Show
Side Note: I had over 200 skins on my system and was experienced system shutdown lockout, and other strange issues. Moving about half the seldom used skins to a storage drive cleared up the issues. Apparently Rainmeter starts to choke if too many skins are installed; lesson learned!
, and suggestions are welcomed.
So...
