Ok I understand now
RainmeterSetVariable is a read not a write.

Thanks for the clarification, I will get there someday.

Can this be used to change parts of a bang? For example:

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [Do this]

To

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [Do that instead]

Sure. The exact method would depend on what specifically you're trying to accomplish; can you give an example?

I was inspired by your use of cycling styles in a .inc file and I've figured out how to do the same thing with measures. But to complete the skin I need each style to also perform an action when the skin changes over to it.

The first style opens up another Rainmeter config. The second closes it, and the third executes a program needed for the last set of measures. I guess what I need it to do is make one command cycle through each of these.

!RainmeterActivateConfig Stuff Stuff.ini
!RainmeterDeactivateConfig Stuff.ini
!Execute [That program thingy]

EDIT: Ah, wait a sec. Figured out how this works. Nevermind. It's not what I need.
