Getting Show Desktop Skin To Work

Post by Fezz-ii- »

Hello! I'm really new to rainmeter, I just downloaded it yesterday. This question my have a simple answer, but I'm going to ask it anyway. So far I've just been downloading skins and making small edits in them to adjust parts to my liking. However I have not been able to find a skin that upon clicking shows the desktop. So as my first rainmeter skin project I went ahead and tried building a simple skin to show the desktop.
[Rainmeter]
Author=Fezz-ii-
AppVersion=1.0
;-------------------------

[Icon]
Meter=IMAGE
ImageName=Show Desktop.png
X=0
Y=0
W=30
H=30
AntiAlias=1
LeftMouseAction=!Execute ["C:\Users\Guest\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Shows Desktop.lnk"]
I surpirsed myself when it worked! :0 But it hid Rainmeter and objectdock when I clicked it. So I did a little investigating and came up with a new idea. I want to write something that upon clicking activates a keyboard shortcut WindowsLogoKey+M and on double click Shift+WindowsLogoKey+M

If you set the position of the skins to "On Desktop" they will stay when you click "Show Desktop".
