OK I've been using RainMeter for about a day now, I've gotten past a few problems, but there are two that I just can seem to fix.
#1. My WAN IP doesn't show, I've tried everything from disabling Windows Firewall to DMZing my router. I've even opened the .ini, but I didn't know how exactly to change it to get the IP from http://www.whatismyip.org
#2. I've gotten used to using ShowDesktop constantly on Windows 7, and when I use this, the Enigma calendar disappears, and I either have to restart RainMeter or re-enable it. Is there an easier way to fix this?

Code: Select all
[MeasureIPWeb]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll

RegExp="(?siU)name="ipaddress" size="15" value="(.*)">"

2) From the Rainmeter context menu, set any skins you want to stay when "Show Desktop" is used to Position/On Desktop.
