need mail icon to start thunderbird (not webpage)

[algernon]

Hello everyone... sorry, but this questions has been asked before. I have looked at probably all the solutions and I am still unable to get it to work.

Before I say anything else: I LOVE Rainmeter!

Here's the issue: I can't get the "gmail" mail icon to bring up thunderbird. No matter what I do, it still brings up my web browser.

I have changed the following files:
1. ReaderGmail.ini
2. Mail-Icon.ini

here's is the whole line that is used. I only modified the path to thunderbird:
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["C:\Program Files (x86)\Lanikai (64-bit)\thunderbird.exe"][!RainmeterHideMeter TitleActive][!RainmeterShowMeter Title][!RainmeterRedraw]

The line is exactly the same in both files (well, the path to the executable is. This is from ReaderGmail.ini, I haven't actually checked the other one).

I'm running a Windows 7 x64 system and my Rainmeter is also x64.

I can't think of anything else, but if you need to know something, just ask.
I appreciate any help.

maybe posting the code will be helpful, and do not forget to remove your user and password in gmail skin if there are any

I notice that this line:
Url=https://#GmailUsername#:#GmailPassword#@gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom
did not have my actual name and password, but when you use the toolbox icon on the enigma panel, it shows that it has my username and password for Gmail.
I tried putting my username and password in there and it didn't make any difference (after changes, I closed Rainmeter and loaded it again).

thanks again...

[maminscris]

under [Mail] section in mail-icon.ini, you have a blank image, try adding ImageName=path to image

[algernon]

Thanks for the help man. I appreciate it.

[dragonmage]

Where you have inserted your path is for the "Gmail" text not the Icon, If you click the text it should open Thunderbird. Create an action in the [Icon] meter if you want the icon to open Thunderbird.

[algernon]

even nicer... thank you both for so much help. I'm slowly learning how things work. I'll get there in a year or two :;
