I've noticed with making skins refreshing it can get real annoying so i tried to making something to help with it.

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
AccurateText=1
BackgroundMode=2

[MeterRefresh]
Y=1R
X=0R
Meter=String
AntiAlias=1
Text=Refresh
FontColor=255,255,255
FontSize=20
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
FontFace= Sensation Regular
LeftMouseUpAction=!RefreshApp

While viewing the skin, you can right-click and select "Refresh" from the context menu.

But while editing the code it is a bit more work, so I would recommend using an alternate text editor such as Notepad++ to create skins.

You can add "Refresh skin" and "Refresh All" to the context menu of Notepad++.

Also there is Rainlexer plugin, by poiru, to it to provide syntax highlighting and other great tools.

Another option is to add Notepad Snippets to have meter templates, measure templates, plugin code templates, and actions bangs readily available.

This should help you have more fun coding.
