iTunes Player Skin

[Kotse]

Hello!

Is it possible to have an iTunes player skin (ex. the one on Enigma) to "appear" when iTunes is launched and then "disappears" when you close it?

I was just wondering if this is possible since it would be really cool. I've made a few custom skins already but I don't have enough experience to do anything like that.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for replying! Is the *ACTION WHEN...* supposed to be replaced with a specific coding? I put what you've given me into the Measures area of the skin, but it didn't seem to work.

Thanks again!

The *ACTION WHEN..* should be replaced with what ever you want to happen when something happens.

!RainmeterShowFade (itunes is running) and !RainmeterHideFade (itunes is closed) are the two bangs that you want.

You cant deactivate the config, because then it completely closes the skin and you cant re-enable it. However, with the above two commands it will merely hide the skin but not close it.

!RainmeterActivateConfig [Config] [Ini-file]
Activates a new configuration ini-file. The ini-file is just the name of the file; do not include the path.

!RainmeterDeactivateConfig [Config]
Deactivates the configuration ini-file.

Why would you not be able to deactivate the config? As long as you know where it is there is no problem what so ever.
As long as this is not running in the iTunes skin ofc.

Well, what i meant chew was that if you want this all self contained in a single ini you cant use Deactivateconfig, as stated by your last sentence.

If you want to use 2 seperate inis then deactivateconfig is fine, but if you deactivate the skin that is measuring itunes, if you reopen itunes the skin wont reopen.
