Change wallpaper based on shortcut focus?

[cemara]

Is it possible to do this with rainmeter?
User focus on A shortcut for 2 sec,
Wallpaper will change into specified wallpaper for A shortcut

e.g :
User focus on Doom shortcut for 2 sec
wallpaper will change into Doom wallpaper

A Windows shortcut, no. Rainmeter has no knowledge of any object outside of a skin, and no knowledge of the mouse when it is outside of a skin.

You could create a Rainmeter meter that is an image of a Doom icon, and take some action when you hover over it though.

But a meter cannot act as a shortcut right?
Thanks for clarifying, too bad i thought it had this potential..
I was gonna use it to create tabbed desktop ala chrome with change wallpaper function...

A meter can launch an application when clicked. It isn't a "shortcut" in any Windows sense, but can certainly act as an image that is also a "launcher" for any application.

So you could have an image meter that when hovered over sets the desktop wallpaper to some defined image, and when clicked launches an application.
