SegoeFluentIcons SKIN not working

[sl23]

This is about my SegoeFluentIcons skin and NOT the font.

Not used this for some time and had deleted it. After restoring my backup and trying the download I shared on the forum, it's still not working. Could someone please check and see what's wrong.

The problem I am having is that when clicking a category on the left, it no longer changes to that skin. I have the files in the correct place, but for some reason it refuses to work. I did set it up a short while ago and got it working, but deleted that after backing up, but again it's stopped working, can't figure it out!!!

I also tried adjusting the Left click action to see if the path was correct by using a variable, but it showed the path correctly but trying to open a file called "Variables.ini" which I presume is a reference to the "#CURRENTSECTION#.ini" being named "Variables.ini?

Here's a sample from the "Apps.ini" skin, doesn't include all the icons and names, which is unnecessary for this:

Code: Select all

The problem last time was in this skin and was to do with #CURRENTSECTION# being wrong somewhere, I think, can't recall what I did now!

The #lc# Variable was a temporary thing to see if I was getting the correct path in the About window. That command should be on the [sContents] section LeftMouseUpAction.

The Log Error is saying !ActivateConfig: Invalid Parameters. Really strange considering this used to work well!

I found the problem, but I don't understand why it is happening and how to resolve it.

When I originally designed the set of skins, I had them in the root skin folder, ie, #SKINSPATH#SegoeFluentIcons\.
But when I reinstalled it, I put it into #SKINSPATH#RM\SegoeFluentIcons\. Why would that matter when I am using the built in variables to set the path and config file: LeftMouseUpAction=[!ActivateConfig "#CURRENTPATH#" "#CURRENTSECTION#.ini"]
. This just doesn't work and even gives that error mentioned above.

Strangely, this works without issue: RightMouseUpAction=["#CURRENTPATH##CURRENTSECTION#.ini"].

Another strange issue, is that the skins contain @include=#@#Meters.inc but the Meters.inc is in fact in #@#SegoeFluentIcons\Meters.inc. When I change the skins to @include=#@#SegoeFluentIcons\Meters.inc, they don't load as Rainmeter says they don't have any meters! Wtf is going on with this setup? Arghhh!!!

You are much better off putting fonts in the standard location, which is #@#Fonts. Rainmeter sees these without you needing to do anything.

Thanks, but it already is

EDIT: Sorry, just reread the title! And made it clearer what the issue is with!

This explains everything, if you "connect the dots":
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/skins/#Config

[sl23]

Sorry, I just don't see it!

What I see is that when you use: LeftMouseUpAction=[!ActivateConfig "#CURRENTPATH#" "#CURRENTSECTION#.ini"]
You are specifying on left click, to activate the skin called #CURRENTSECTION#.ini in the #CURRENTPATH#, ie, current folder.
All these skins are in the same folder, and the #CURRENTPATH# variable means the location of the currently loaded file, wherever that may be. Yes?
The #CURRENTSECTION#.ini means to load the skin named after the section you click on, which together with the #CURRENTPATH# means to locate the skin named after the current section in the same folder and load it.

Which is why this works: RightMouseUpAction=["#CURRENTPATH##CURRENTSECTION#.ini"]

So moving the folder SegoeFluentIcons into my main suite, just called RM, should mean these variables still do the same job. Unless this is another one of those nested or escaping variables things? I just don't get why they are needed at all. I've tried to read about them, but I just don't get their purpose and so when to use them.

Unless it's simple as the Config means Parent/Child and #CURRENTPATH# is specifying a full path? But I don't see why that shouldn't work?

Do I need to use: LeftMouseUpAction=[!ActivateConfig "#ROOTCONFIGPATH##ROOTCONFIG#" "#CURRENTSECTION#.ini"] instead?

Not quite, but finally, you're starting to get it...

Do I need to use: LeftMouseUpAction=[!ActivateConfig "#ROOTCONFIGPATH##ROOTCONFIG#" "#CURRENTSECTION#.ini"] instead?

Close, but not there yet. More like "#CURRENTCONFIG#" "#CURRENTSECTION#.ini".

Reference: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/variables/built-in-variables/#SkinVariables

In short, the name of a config is only a part of the path to it.

It was next on the list!!!

Woohoo! Thanks, yet again, for your assistance
