Sadly neither worked. Here's the entire thing.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]

[Variables]
@include=#SKINSPATH#Yokai\Resources\Variables\UserVariables.inc

[HomeSubmenu1]

What version of rainmeter do you have? Rainmeter 1.3 (I think it's r499) is the one that they added groups. If you don't have this version at least, then groups will not work.

I think i have 1.2 I'm downloading 1.4 but it's r534.
should i back up the skins i've saved?

EDIT:
YESSS!!! the show group works but it still doesn't scooch over.
...and the mouseover/mouseleave is odd, it's hard to click the submenus. anyone know how to make this easier?

If the sub-menus are hard to click, I'm assuming you mean that they are hard to keep displayed (e.g the mouseleave command is causing the sub-menu to close). If this is the case, you could move the Mouse leave action to the sub-menu images. That way, it'll show the sub-menu if you mouse over the menu icon, but it will only hide the sub-menu if you mouse over it and then move your mouse off of it. Here is what you would change:

Try adding SolidColor=0,0,0,0 to every meter. What this basically does is add a 0 alpha (transparent) box behind the image. It should work. Also, if You can, please post a link to the images used in this skin so that we can fix the positioning problems that your having.

Close, but not quite. If something has an alpha of 0, Rainmeter treats it as though it's not there, which means adding SolidColor=0,0,0,0 would do literally nothing. Instead, give it the smallest alpha possible and you will get the invisible background you're looking for, ie: SolidColor=0,0,0,1

Sorry for the delay. school issues. I'll add the solid background. I think i'm not sure since i closed it accidentally that when left for a long period of time the skin shows the submenu.
I'm still working on it. I was just pulling the images from the screen i supplied so i only have 3 right now. i'll prolly substitute them with a full set later.
this is a link to the deviantart with the file for download

Sorry i just realized the deviantart didn't let me upload the zip. Where's a good place i can store it to send to you?
EDIT: I tried to move forward and made some more icons, the menu works but it still doesn't move to reveal the submenu.
