Help altering Skin wallpaper
Posted: January 17th, 2017, 1:44 am
Hey there,
So I'm a relative newbie to Rainmeter. I read the guides, followed the tutorial etc. So forgive me for the lack on lingo / calling things by different names
I downloaded some skins I liked and fiddled around with them. Right now I have a skin I really like and I decided to modify it. I contacted the creator but he hasn't been active on his account so I have no hope of him getting back to me. Basically its a World of Warcraft skin where you can select difference races / classes which then changes the background. It's really Neat. What it is lacking imo was customisation. For example You could click on Blood Elf and have a beautiful Blood Elf wallpaper, but if you clicked on Warrior it would be an Orc Warrior. What I have been trying to do is have it so when you select a Race (orc/ human/ blood elf etc.) and then select a class the wall paper would be unique to that race/class combo. I added extra PNG images into the File. I did manage to switch them around (changed some of the class images to ones I liked etc). However I cannot make a double select. Even though I can click on both a race and a class I cannot figure out how to link them. At best, all I have managed to do was the 'scroll over' function (click on a bloodelf and scrolling over a warrior = BE Warrior wallpaper) however as soon as I select warrior it goes back to the Orc warrior.
I can understand the basics of what I need to do, sort of. But I cannot find any good examples to copy / practice on and I am no where near skilled enough to attempt this on my own. And Yes I know these are two functions with one over riding the other, but one thing i noticed is that when you select a Race, and then a Class, the race button is still highlighted (as in selected) So I have been trying to use this to sort of link them. But like I said, the best I could do was scroll over.
If anyone knows what I'm talking about or has any good advice, please reply or PM me
PS. If there is a post with this question/answer feel free to show me. I did glance over them but I didn't see one that helped with my exact issue.
Kind regards,
N.
