Hello i'm sure this has been asked before but what coding language are the Rainmeter skins written in ? I have looked but could not find anything.
Thanks

Re: Rainmeters language
The skins are not in any coding "language" They are really configuration files that are read when the skin is loaded, using the standard .ini file format of
[Section]
Option=Value
The Rainmeter application, which is written in C++ reads the .ini file, and manages how the skin behaves based on the options defined in [Variables], [Measures], [Meters] and other sections.
Additional capabilities are provided by supporting Rainmeter plugins (external .dll libraries written in C++ or C#), script files written in the Lua programming language, and system calls to external programs.
What [sections] and Option=Value capabilities are supported by Rainmeter, and how they drive the functionality of skins, is described in the Rainmeter Documentation.
