Howdy!
I'm new to rainmeter's coding language, and find it a bit confusing and overwhelming. I'm looking to create a weather skin similar to the variant of DINAJ4 that displays various star wars planets in correspondence with various combinations of temperature and humidity. Initially I was going to simply edit that skin, but felt I wasn't familiar enough with the files to do so without kriffing it up, so I decided to build from scratch.
Does anyone have any tutorials, guides, or tips they'd recommend?
Thanks,
Honeysprings

Apologies!
That was the tutorial I initially used to set up the basics. The largest problem I'm having is understanding the coding language, which I'm having trouble finding comprehensive resources on.

Re: Creating a skin
There are a few basic descriptions on Rainmeter in the help (recommend follow the links as well), you should read them. Hoping they can clarify at least some terms.Honeysprings wrote: ↑October 13th, 2022, 5:37 pm That was the tutorial I initially used to set up the basics.

Re: Creating a skin
Rainmeter is not really a "coding language" in the traditional sense. It is actually in the form of a Windows .INI file, like with ones from ancient Windows 3.1 days. Each "section" is a measure (gets a value) or a meter (shows a value), and together they tell Rainmeter what to do.Honeysprings wrote: ↑October 13th, 2022, 5:37 pm Apologies!
