I wouldn't say that's a good idea.
If someone makes a lock screen even out of joke and distributes it, it would be a nuisance. And an non technical user may fall prey to these kind of lunacy, making Rainmeter and its team look bad.
You get the picture.

Re: Simple countdown timer
You can leave it completely empty if you want:
Code: Select all
[Rainmeter]
ContextTitle=
ContextAction=
Code: Select all
[Rainmeter]
ContextTitle=Refresh
ContextAction=[!Refresh]

Re: Simple countdown timer
If you want parental controls, you can use the built in windows features instead of faking it in Rainmeter. And you can have better control that way.

Re: Simple countdown timer
And in an answer to an earlier question, we won't ever build in a way to "lock down" Rainmeter. That is just not what it is about. The end-user sitting in front of the computer will always have full control over Rainmeter.

Re: Simple countdown timer
Both context title and context action require some values assigned to the options (even if it's a "separator" or "do nothing" thing), as jsmorley pointed out. I had the same "problem" recently. ![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/innuendo.gif)

Re: Simple countdown timer
This forum must have the best community on the internet! Everyone is so helpful, I just want to say thank you to everyone for your comments and help.
It's a shame XYplorer forum isn't this good! It's a nightmare in comparison!
I wish I could get the help with the scripting like on here!
I can understand you not wanting the ability to lock out users, but I still think it would be a useful feature. But we can't have everything
I originally used RightMouseUpAction=0 to block right click actions. But thought that might entice him to explore why he can't as he's seen me do it lol
I don't want it to refresh as it'll restart the timer! Bad!!
Thanks Yincognito, be sure, I will teach him the ways of Rainmeter!
