SendTweet - Input and send "Tweets" from your Rainmeter skin

[dragoonwisper]

Now, I'm pretty new to this stuff and such but I'm pretty shur I'm doing this correctly but it still won't work(also with your instructions where it says "default=blablabla" it's really not set to default.)Is it possible you could show me an working example of its .cfg code? because I can't seem to get the configurations correct.

I'm not sure it can. I have used it to send a "twitter update", but that is because twitter has a web-based api interface. Not going to work with GMail, as you can't send your id and password on the URL, and I don't know of any way to get cURL to access any google api.

I copied the contents of the SendTweet folder into the Skins folder, but when I run Rain Browser, this is all that comes up. I'm very new to this, and I haven't been able to find a real plugin/addon tutorial of any sort, so...

Any help?

I'm not sure what to do, if I have to do anything, with the cURL or the RainInput... well... extensions? Dlls? Whatever you want to call them. lol.

If you read the file RainInput.cfg, it has a lot of instructions at the top as comments.

Yeah, I've been looking there, but that hasn't helped at all. I saw that the paths for the ProgramPath and ProgramWorkingFolder were wrong; they were supposed to go to the SendTweet in My Documents because that's where the folder was copied, but changing that didn't help at all.

Be sure you do "Refresh All" on the Rainmeter context menu after you add a skin to the \Skins folder.

Hey! That worked... Now, however, when I click on the text field in the skin, I can't type in it. The pointer turns into the pointing hand, I click and while I hold th emouse down it's a normal arrow again, but at no point can I type. >_>

Just click in the field and let go of the mouse. Now it should be a blinking caret and you should be able to type until you either hit enter or esc.
