This uses the included:

SysColor Plugin from Brian:

To get and use the Windows 10 "accent color" for the fly-out panel

IsFullScreen Plugin from JSMorley:

To detect if a full screen (like a game or video) application is running, and prohibiting the fly-out if so.

New version 2.0 completely re-works the cosmetics of the main skin, and adds some new functionality. (Ok, new bells and whistles really...)

Hey, thanks for making this! I usually dislike a lot of GMail stuff because of the unnecessary clutter it adds, and this is small and functional enough for my needs.

Quick question, is there any way to add a second account to the skin to display both? I have separate E-Mails for separate purposes.

The best way I have found is to use a custom context menu in the skin to allow you to change the user account name and password with a right click of the skin.

Without getting all the way into it, although I can if you need it, it more or less something like:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
RightMouseUpAction=[!SkinCustomMenu]
ContextTitle=Current: #GMailLabel#
ContextAction=[]
ContextTitle2=----
ContextAction2=[]
ContextTitle3=Change to: #GMailLabel1#
ContextAction3=[!Refresh]
ContextTitle4=Change to: #GMailLabel2#
ContextAction4=[!SetVariable GMailID """#GMailID2#"""][!SetVariable GMailPassword """#GMailPassword2#"""][!SetVariable GMailLabel """#GMailLabel2#"""][!CommandMeasure MeasureMail "Update"]
ContextTitle5=Open @Includes folder
ContextAction5=["#@#"]
ContextTitle6=----
ContextAction6=[]
ContextTitle7=More actions ...
ContextAction7=[!SkinMenu]

[Variables]
@Include=#@#GMailNotify.inc
GMailID=#GMailID1#
GMailPassword=#GMailPassword1#
GMailLabel=#GMailLabel1#

...

With the actual variables for the two accounts in the @Include file.

I use this on a variant of this skin that I use on my system.

Thank you very much for this! And for the awesome JSMeterVII!

I am struggling to get the gmail account to connect. I have tried the normal password and the application password but it just sits on "checking". Any advice you can offer?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

See if you have @gmail.com after your account name, if so remove that.

[Snayff]

Fantastic, thank you very much! That was exactly it!

I set my account information, but it doesn't work. Can you help me?

That is generally going to mean that you either have the wrong Google user id or password, or you have two-step authentication set up in Google / GMail and need to set up an Application ID for Rainmeter.
