RainThemes Support Thread

Post by dragonmage »

RainThemes is a tool for managing "themes" for your Rainmeter skins.

You can save your currently running and positioned skins as a "theme" and load that theme at any time to set your Rainmeter desktop to that saved configuration.

RainThemes "saves" by making a copy of your current "Rainmeter.ini" file and putting it in a folder called "Themes\Theme Name\Theme Name.thm". This folder will reside either in your .\Rainmeter folder or in your APPDATA\Rainmeter folder depending on the version of Rainmeter you are using.

When you "load" a theme, RainThemes copies back the Rainmeter.thm file to Rainmeter.ini in your Rainmeter "home" folder and restarts Rainmeter.exe.

RainThemes can also save an "empty" configuration file, so you can create a blank/empty theme for use when you want to set up a new set of skins and positions from scratch.

You can also "manage" your themes, by "deleting" and "renaming" saved themes.

I've never seen that happen before. So the name is still in the list but when you attempt to load it it loads a completely different theme?
