Help with code

Hi all, how would I change this code so that the sidebar is like a clear glass windows 11 widgets panel colour?

Code: Select all

DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1
SkinWidth=250
SkinHeight=905

Rainmeter has a win 7 glass plugin but it doesn't really work perfectly for win 10+

Make the SolidColor=16,42,55,255 have a value like this: SolidColor=16,42,55,100

The fourth value is the Alpha value which determines the transparency. 255 is solid 1 is completely transparent but still recognises mouse actions zero "0" removes the ability for the mouse to interact with that part.

Thanks for that! one more question? how would i add app icons or "widgets" to the side panel, so that they will slide back in and out with the panel?

There is a plugin for that and is certainly what is being used for the slide action already happening.

If the slide is horizontal the X= value will look like this: X=(somenumber + #Somevariable used for slide action#)

For up or down the same goes but using the Y= value.

Look at this part of the rainmanual: ActionTimer .

You should be able to use that variable for your own icons.

Much more useful are the examples posted here on the forum. For instance (but not just):
