Switching between multiple skins

Post by adammjpope »

New to Rainmeter but very impressed so far!

I am using numerous Rainmeter applications on my desktop, so many in fact that I can't fit them all on the screen at the same time. I was wondering if there is a way to show certain applications as default on the screen then at a keyboard command (e.g. CTRL + B) switch these to another set of applications and back again. Basically I was thinking of having a set of "business" applications and a set of "fun" applications with the idea being I could switch between the two sets.

Any advice on this would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.

Adam.

Rainmeter does not support keyboard-feedback, so you will have to use stuff like AHK for that.
You can however save your different setups as Themes with RainThemes. Then use some clever AHK script to change the theme you are using. Or just rightclick on the tray icon --> Themes --> Choose your Fun or Business theme.
I don't think, therefore I'm not.
