Skin Launcher

Post by sl23 »

Here's a skin that starts at the root skin folder: Rainmeter\Skins\ allowing you to browse the skins folder and launch any skin.
Skin Launcher_2024.09.10.rmskin
There are 3 versions:
The Main Launcher-
SkinsLauncher.gif
A compact version-
SkinsLauncher-Compact.gif
And a mini version-
SkinsLauncher - Mini.gif
All work in a similar way:
  • L-click the 'Button' to go Up/Back a folder. It will stop at the Skins root folder as this is designed as a quick way to load/unload skins when testing.
  • M-click to refresh skin.
  • R-click 'Button' on Mini skin, or the Path at the top of the other two skins, to open that folder in Windows Explorer
  • L-click a file/folder to open and view within the skin.
  • M-click to Unload a skin.
  • R-click to Load that skin.
  • Scroll to view more items, if available.
Update:
  • When clicking an item, now it shows a visual reference by changing colour (only applies to main skin).
  • Use the X2 Mouse button to set ZPos of a skin to the front. Use the X1 Mouse button to return ZPos of a skin to Normal.
Thanks to:
Yincognito, again, for his help. :thumbup:
Eclectic-tech for the solution to activating/deactivating the skins. :thumbup:
Balala for pointing out my forgetfulness! :D

You're welcome, of course, but I was under the impression that eclectic-tech provided the final touch for the code to do what you wanted. :???:

UPDATE: 2024.09.10 - Link in first post
Changes:
Fixed - ActivateConfig bang so it properly opened the file you click on.
Added - When clicking an item, now it shows a visual reference by changing colour (only applies to main skin).
Added - Use the X2 Mouse button to set ZPos of a skin to the front. Use the X1 Mouse button to return ZPos of a skin to Normal.
