You can't see it because of transparency but the main Iron Man launcher and a couple others are also loaded


Sometimes, when a skin author/creator makes a suite/theme, they set the Layout to be loaded on installation. Such a layout will unload any other active skin.OrionsHope wrote: ↑September 7th, 2021, 5:49 am While on their site, I decided to download another skin from that author and for some unknown reason, when I loaded that theme, all the settings in Rainmeter seem to have reset and every single layout, including the defaults, had disappeared.
No, loading a Layout from a .rmskin doesn't "wipe out" anything. All a Layout is is a copy of the Rainmeter.ini file that controls which skins are loaded, where they are on the screen, and other skin-level settings like draggable and stay on screen and the like. What Rainmeter uses is the copy of Rainmeter.ini that is located in the %APPDATA%\Rainmeter folder, and all a Layout does is replace that file with another one. When the Layout is applied, the current Rainmeter.ini is saved in the @Backup folder in %APPDATA%\Rainmeter\Layouts\@Backup. In any case, nothing is changed about any skins or anything else "permanent" when you load a Layout.OrionsHope wrote: ↑September 13th, 2021, 1:02 am Sorry but would you accept this behavior from ANY other software, free, open source, or of any kind for that matter? Upon installation, it wipes out everything like it, even though they had nothing to do with its function? Please tell me you are jokingIf you are, give me a couple of weeks to cobble something together and I'll sell it to you for real cheap

Thank you JSMorley.No, loading a Layout from a .rmskin doesn't "wipe out" anything.
This is the same as clicking the X on the top right corner of an app that you are done using. The app doesn't get deleted, it just closes.Sorry but would you accept this behavior from ANY other software, free, open source, or of any kind for that matter?
I have faced kinda situation what i do is to turned on Hardware Acceleration It can help take some load off of my CPUOrionsHope wrote: ↑September 6th, 2021, 3:24 am I'm getting an average of 20% CPU usage with my Neon Space theme and it's only that low because I've used a 3rd party application to restrict it to using only two of my available cores so that the system can utilize the rest. Currently, the first core is pegged above 80% and Core2 is constantly above 65%. Also, I've restricted its I/O priority to idle, its cpupriority to below normal and I've created rules to even further restrict the process should it exceed certain very low thresholds. If these measures are not in place, it will lock up my pc and spike it's load to unusable levels. I loaded/unloaded each skin to check for effect and then went into each of them and either turned off updates altogether, or turned them as far up as I dared and still keep the display correct. Obviously, something is funky on my end. Are there known software conflicts or some other problems I should be aware of? Troubleshooting ideas? Whatever it is, it isn't just me. Look at this guy's video in the upper right corner of his screen . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlDktSKtdBc Now, I've been given to understand that these things aren't supposed to do that so any ideas on what gives?
