Hey Everyone!
I'm looking to have my todoist.com tasks show up in a rainmeter skin. I found a plugin for the same: https://github.com/stuporfly/RainmeterTodoistPlugin/ , yet don't know how to use it in a skin. Would be great if you could make a sample skin on how to use this plugin.

Nevermind, I found a better alternative. Still, feel free to share anything that would help in making use of this plugin. Might benefit anyone else looking for the same.

Re: Help with using a plugin (Todoist)
As far as I can tell this might be the source of a plugin, however the plugin itself is not compiled. A plugin which can be used by Rainmeter has to be a .dll file. But there is no such a file in the package.Morsmodre wrote: ↑December 5th, 2021, 10:50 am I'm looking to have my todoist.com tasks show up in a rainmeter skin.

Where this package has been posted, where did you find it? I'd like to take a look, if possible.

Thanks, Balala! I found the link to that repo in a reddit post: https://old.reddit.com/r/todoist/comments/lynt9t/todoist_pluginskin_for_rainmeter/balala wrote: ↑December 5th, 2021, 4:23 pm As far as I can tell this might be the source of a plugin, however the plugin itself is not compiled.

There's not much in that post though, except a youtube link.

Re: Help with using a plugin (Todoist)
I completely agree with MessedSeed in the discussion. He couldn't find a way to install the plugin. I couldn't either. As said, the plugin isn't compiled. It might be a simple task to copile it, but this isn't done so far. As said in my previous reply, a Rainmeter plugin should be done as a .dll file, practically in two variants: a x64 and a x86 version, to can be installed / used on both systems. But there is no .dll file at all in this package. I'm not experienced enough in working with C++ / C# codes, so maybe the plugin might be compiled easily, but unfortunately I can't advice you here.Morsmodre wrote: ↑December 5th, 2021, 4:39 pm I found the link to that repo in a reddit post: https://old.reddit.com/r/todoist/comments/lynt9t/todoist_pluginskin_for_rainmeter/
Which makes no sense at least not for me.

Re: Help with using a plugin (Todoist)
Thanks nonetheless. I guess even if .dll file was available, it would have been futile without any documentation on how to use the plugin?balala wrote: ↑December 5th, 2021, 7:25 pm I completely agree with MessedSeed in the discussion.

Right. This should have been done by the author.

What was the alternative you found? I am in the same boat looking for a todoist option in rainmeter or something similar.
