New install, some things not working right

[Zuke]

Hello everyone! This looks like a really awesome program, and I'm glad I found it! I'm using the Omnimo2 theme, but I've confirmed this problem happens in every other theme too.

When using the Gmail panel, it never pulls my mail count. I've double checked the username and password and they are correct. There is unread mail in the inbox. My password originally had a @ in it, so I changed it in case that was causing the issues, but no dice.

Twitter is having the exact same issue as Gmail.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank you in advance!

First, install this skin to find out if Rainmeter is able to connect to the Internet. If the light doesn't turn green, Rainmeter has probably been blocked by a firewall of some kind.

Otherwise, the most likely problem is a special character in your password. Try removing all characters except for letters and numbers.

That's a handy little app!

It's green, and my Gmail and Twitter passwords have been changed so there are no special characters. Still no love.

UPDATE: I changed which Gmail skin to use, and this one is working. Evidently the "Mail" one doesn't work correctly. Perhaps the Twitter one is having the same issues?

The Twitter skin won't work due to changes Twitter recently rolled out. You should wait for Omnimo 3 that I believe will be released soon.

[Zuke]

Ah. Curse you Twitter!!!

Thank you very much for the info, though!

General question about Rainmeter, here; can you do more with it in terms of apps? I mean, something akin to the old Vista Sidebar or Windows Gadgets?

Depends on what you want, really.

If you want those default gadgets, take a look at http://poiru.deviantart.com/art/Vista-Rainbar-4-6-0-3-156603886?q=gallery%3Apoiru%2F24350643&qo=3
