Rainmeter Forums

It's possible that the tooltips is automatically displayed when the skin is loaded and disappears after 10 seconds ?

Thanks

No, I think it isn't, especially that ToolTips are a Windows feature, not a Rainmeter one. So, nor Rainmtere and nor a skin can't control them.

You can however create Rainmeter-driven simulacrum tooltips.

These would be in the order of sliding skins or similar - like a dialog box that has an ActionTImer on it.

There should be "something" in these forums on that topic possibly by searching forum or google for "scripted tooltips" etc.

I have seen several examples that might help out, but since I am lazy i will just point you that way - especially since I am currently in the process of scripting some sliding "pop ups". (i dont know how yet lol)

As balala said, it cannot be done using Windows tootips. As Mor3bane explained, it can be done in other ways.
Here is an example using a "Run Once" measure and a Timer Calc.
