Impressive skin nek. Good work!

Impressive skin nek. Good work!

Thanks again!

For some reasons, minimum requirements of Windows version is 10
- Plugin FileChoose UseNewStyle=1 is for Win10 or greater.
- Context menu > Apps > MS Paint 3D Screen snip Snip & Sketch MS Photos may not work on the old Windows OS.

It's a really good skin
I have a question.
Rainmeter crashes because I use a hotkey on another skin.
I think same hotkey.
How can I remove the hotkey?
I couldn't follow it because there are too many ini files.

Hi tass_co

Even though I removed the lines you wrote, the crash continues

It seems that loading Snip and Pin to Screen\Skin.ini cause immediately Rainmeter.exe to crash.
Do you see the Snip and Pin to Screen icon on the notification area after the skin is loaded?

Could you replace Skin.ini and Config.inc files under the Rainmeter\Skins\Snip and Pin to Screen and
load the Snip and Pin to Screen\Skin.ini again?
If it works the icon will be appeared at the top-left of the desktop.

If Rainmeter.exe still keeps crashing and you have enough time, please follow the few steps.
- Save the current skin layout. | Manage Rainmeter > Layouts tab > ✅ Exclude unloaded skins, Name: something > [Save]
- Unload the skins as possible. (Minimize which skin are related to crashing issues)
- Manage Rainmeter > Settings tab > ✅ Debug mode, ✅ Log to file
- About Rainmeter > Version tab > [Copy to clipbooard]

There is no problem loading. I can use your skin normally. When i pressing the Hotkey button, freezes and eventually Rainmeter crashes (The screen goes black as when taking a screenshot).

I think the problem is related to Hotkey or Capture application.
For this, I wanted to cancel the Hotkey and try, but the result was negative
