If iTunes is not running, the Player.ini skin load regularly either way (Gruvy.ini context menu or hotkey)...

I also don't have iTunes, but I'd try with other player. If you don't have anything else installed, you probably have at least Windows Media Player. Try with that one. Does the issue occurres with it?

Double check again, with WMP is not happening, The player load/unload regularly with the hotkey and the context menu command...

Alright, but in this case someone else will have to help you, because as said, I have no iTunes.

That's ok, thank you very much for your time anyway!

Hi!
Is there a way to assign hotkey (Win-F for instance) for bringing up to front ALL active skins?
Thank's!

What you might want to do is assign Win-F to

"C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe" !ZPos "2" "*"

https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/bangs/#ZPos

Keep in mind however, that is is NOT about bringing all the skins to the front temporarily, but will force them to the front all the time. There is no way I know of to just "give focus" to all (or any) skins so they come to the front just for that moment. So you would need some corresponding keystroke to put them back to "Normal" or "On Desktop".

Thank's for your time!
So requirements has been changed
Since i'm going to map pressing Win-F to run Rainmater.exe with such parameter I need a way to map to depressing Win-F to bring all the skins to background.
Any ideas?

Is there a way to listen to modifier keys? Tried setting Hotkey=Shift and it doesn't work

SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT only work in combination with other keys. This is because there is no "SHIFT" key....there are 2 shift keys. Left shift and right shift.

I could probably change it to work in the way you are trying, but honestly, I haven't worked on this plugin in years...so it's unlikely I will be modifying this anytime soon.

For now, you can try a specific shift key:
HotKey=LSHIFT or HotKey=RSHIFT
