[Request] Rainmeter elements behind desktop icons and some other stuff
Posted: September 7th, 2017, 2:24 pm
First off, i know its been asked before but i thought we need to take another look at few feature Rainmeter is missing.
What i mean is the option to render elements and/or skins on the desktop area but behind the icons and native drag and drop functionality as well as some mouse x y tracking. To put it like this, if my skin sets use plugins like Drag&Drop and MouseXY at least 50% of the time, i think those should be than a native feature. And i do use them a lot. Like i said, at least 50% of the time and at least 20% are relying on tools skins that use those plugins.
Since Wallpaper Engine is out, Windows 10 is out for some time now, and as i remember one of the (i assume) developers, Brian said that its not viable for such features due to constant windows updates, changes etc, i think it might be time to rethink it now. The problem lots of us are having are still a those few what i think essential features to Rainmeter that are missing that many skin creators are held back at some creative or utilitive matters. Some native drag and drop functionality as well as the ability to place skins or skin elements on the desktop area are imperative to make Rainmeter a complete package imo, because only those are left missing. I dont know how those guys from Wallpaper Engine did it since im not a programmer but obviously the guys who made Rainmeter are programmers and if Wallpaper Engine can do it, so can and should Rainmeter imo.
I love the Wallpaper Engine and Rainmeter combo. No PC of mine will ever be without them but at this point, i would even support Rainmeter if it went on steam as well and pay for its support for even greater features but thats some other topic on that matter.
The thing is, Rainmeter doesnt need much to get its perfect touches but some very basic functionality as i said before are really needed imo.
I know its probably not easy at all but it bugs me for what it lacks is just so little to make Rainmeter perfect and the most ultimate background software of all time (its already the ultimate one as is tho). So, here i am and hoping for some support on those matters. Any brainstorming is welcome! If i can contribute in any way, feel free to ask.
And as always, i still need to thank you Rainmeter team, and everyone who contributed, skin users, skin creators. Amazing crowd!
