Yep, Button meter is a good option, however it has the disadvantage of having to create the proper image, used by the meter. Definitely can be done, but not sure it worth. And additionally OP has already started to work with an Image meter, so...
However if there is needed, here is a description on how to create the image.

Try to add the following LeftMouseDownAction option and modify the already posted LeftMouseUpAction to the following ones:

Code: Select all

[Button]
...
LeftMouseDownAction=[!SetOption Button ImageName "reddit2.png"][!UpdateMeter "Button"][!Redraw]
LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetOption Button ImageName "reddit.png"]["https://www.reddit.com/"][!UpdateMeter "Button"][!Redraw]

Note here that reddit.png is the "not clicked" image, while reddit2.png is the clicked one. Modify the names accordingly if you're using other names.
Two additional recommendations here:

• Even if a while ago (in fact many years ago), the !Execute bang had to be used, in meantime it has been deprecated, so there is no need to use it anymore. I removed it from the above option.
• The best place for all resources used by a skin is the @Resources folder. It is a good idea to put all such resources (like images) there. Accordingly if you move the images (reddit.png and reddit2.png or whatever) to this folder, add the #@# variable identifier in front of every image name. For instance the ImageName option of the [Button] meter has to be modified a little bit as well as the LeftMouseDownAction and LeftMouseUpAction options. For instance this way:

  Code: Select all

  [Variables]
  [Button]
  Meter=Image
  ImageName=#@#reddit.png
  LeftMouseDownAction=[!SetOption Button ImageName "#@#reddit2.png"][!UpdateMeter "Button"][!Redraw]
  LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetOption Button ImageName "#@#reddit.png"]["https://www.reddit.com/"][!UpdateMeter "Button"][!Redraw]

  Note the #@# identifiers in every place where images are named. Just take care to move the images accordingly, if you're using this approach (which I definitely recommend).

Umm, you want to rotate or flip the image? Or change the way it shines... For the later you gotta need two images you yourself edited, cause Rainmeter can't achieve that. For the first, it's easy.

1. Rotate:

   Code: Select all

   [MeterRedditButton]
   Meter=Image
   ImageName=reddit.png
   ImageRotate=0 
   ; For flip you can use ImageFlip and change between None and Vertical
   LeftMouseDownAction=[!SetOption MeterRedditButton ImageRotate 180][!UpdateMeter MeterRedditButton][!Redraw]
   LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetOption MeterRedditButton ImageRotate 0][!UpdateMeter MeterRedditButton][!Redraw]["https://reddit.com/"]
   

2. Change shine direction:
   Requirements:Two images with opposite shine directions

   Code: Select all

   [MeterRedditButton]
   Meter=Image
   ImageName=reddit0.png 
   ; reddit1.png has opposite shine
   LeftMouseDownAction=[!SetOption MeterRedditButton ImageName "reddit1.png"][!UpdateMeter MeterRedditButton][!Redraw]
   LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetOption MeterRedditButton ImageName "reddit0.png"][!UpdateMeter MeterRedditButton][!Redraw]["https://reddit.com/"]

Yeah, you are probably right. OP does not need to change direction, that is just a good back pocket idea.

[MeterRedditButton]
Meter=Image
ImageName=reddit.png
ImageRotate=0

LeftMouseDownAction=[!SetOption MeterRedditButton ImageRotate 180][!UpdateMeter MeterRedditButton][!Redraw]
LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetOption MeterRedditButton ImageRotate 0][!UpdateMeter MeterRedditButton][!Redraw]["https://reddit.com/"]

I think this is a good solution.
