Launching a skin with Windows Task Scheduler (?)

Post by Felonious »

Okay, so there's no way to do an excel plugin (yet), but I was wondering if there's a way to have task scheduler open a specific rainmeter skin at a certain time each day. Say in the evening I come up with a schedule/task list for the following day, can I use task scheduler to launch that skin at 8:00am the next morning?

Sorry for the barrage of questions, but I'm really trying to get the most out of RM as a productivity tool. Again, much thanks for your help, esp. jsmorley.

Something like this would do it:

Code: Select all

[MeasureTime]
Measure=Time
Format=%H.%M

[LaunchSkin1]
Measure=Calc
Formula=( MeasureTime = 8.00 )
IfEqualValue=1
IfEqualAction=!RainmeterActivateConfig Enigma\Sidebar\Reader Reader.ini
This will cause Enigma's Reader skin to open at 8:00. Change the 8.00 to what ever time you need (in 24h format) and the config and skin names to the ones you want to open.
