Launcher skin that displays contents of a target folder?

[etl]

I don't mean to point anyone away from Rainmeter, but it sounds like you guys are looking for Stardock Fences. Specifically, the feature called Folder Portals.

You are correct, I am hoping to replicate the functionality of Fences. The reason is that Rainmeter is FOSS while Stardock is proprietary/paid, Rainmeter is nice and lightweight, plus I already have it installed. To be more specific, I'm actually trying to replicate the groups/folders/whatever-you-call-em from the Windows 10 start menu, now that I have Windows 11 and have been "upgraded" to a "new, better" start menu.

Fileview looks like it might be what I need, thanks! And if anyone knows of any skins that use Fileview to do something like this, please link it! Like I said, my coding's not great, and making a skin from scratch is a little intimidating lol

I have something that might serve as a place to start. Most of the code is kind of a non starter but the actual fileview stuff might help - a little.
