That is the beauty of Rainmeter. It's not an application really, it's a huge "toolkit", and the Rainmeter program is just the "workbench". So there are endless ways you can use the tools to accomplish different things, and people surprise me with some new clever thing I never thought of all the time.

Hi. I try this to work but it doesn't. Has anything changed?

I have a skin in
C:\Users\blets\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Black screen
Named : BlackScreen.ini

Rainmeter executable is in:
C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\

I create a desktop shortcut
"C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe" ,!ToggleConfig "Black Screen" "BlackScreen.ini"

Nothing happens..
Any help?
Thanks,

Don't use the comma.

"C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe" !ToggleConfig "Black Screen" "BlackScreen.ini"

It was that easy after all? :D
I have try so many times, not from shortcut but through autoitscript and autohotkey, that I forgot the comma when I tried with shortcut..
Thanks again. It now works fine :D

For example:

"C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe" !ToggleConfig "JSMeter\System" "System.ini"
always....always. :bow:
