hide (unload skin?) rainmeter when app is run

[DaLanik]

Hello everyone,

I would like to hide the skin (or unload it) when certain app is run. And then load (display) the skin when the app is closed.

Is there a way to do such thing? I also use Eventghost, so maybe if RM doesn't support such functionality some send message etc with EG could be used?

Thanx
D.

Hello! You could use process measure to detect if a certain app is running on, then.. Set skin opacity to 0, for example, and vice versa. )

You can also use this thinking to load or unload certain skins, but be careful that you don't unload the skin that is doing the checking....
