or at least it is almost impossible to find and I have to right click 15 to 20 times to find it. Any idea what the cause solution is?
Searching for right click problem in the forum gives 135 pages of results and I gave up after 15 pages...

Re: No right-click menu on skin
I'm working on my own theme, but it also seems to affect ForceX though not HTC clock. Whilst I think I understand the principles for a theme/config, it is proving very complex for me.
I have been tinkering away using existing skins and the tutorial, aero blur and speedfan bar (but actually using the coretemp plugin) trying to make one that fits my needs. This means I am saving changes & hitting re-fresh all the time - except I don't get the menu popup, I get the windows desktop one most of the time. Perhaps I should have started with something simpler.
This is where I am at the moment and I want to add hard drives, IPs & a netgraph, them play with fonts and polish it up a bit, but I have to figure that out too!
Problems at the moment are lack of right clicking for rainmeter menu and the right hand side of the skin is stepped, not sure why and adding rounded corners.

Re: No right-click menu on skin
For the right-clicking issue, you might want to use BackgroundMode=2 with SolidColor=0,0,0,1 under the [Rainmeter] section.
As for the blur issue, you have misunderstood the instructions. I suggest you take a look at the example skin at http://rainmeter.net/cms/Skins-AeroBlur_beta, which should clear things up.

Re: No right-click menu on skin
you dont have a "Background Image" to click on. Rainmeter only registers clicks on meters, and anywhere else it considers it to be a click on the desktop. Make a "Background" meter that fills across the entire skin and place higher in the ini then any other meter, or place the following in the rainmeter section:
BackgroundMode=2
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
Edit: Bah i really need to watch my syntax :/

I have three rules when I'm trying to help you.
- Don't get mad when you don't understand something
- Be VERY specific with what you ask for.
The more specific you are, the higher the quality of support you receive. - Do not just copy and paste what I put in examples and come back saying it doesn't work.
It does work, but I purposely left blanks that you need to fill for your specific needs.

It actually should be BackgroundMode=2, unless you are going to use an actual image by name.santa_ryan wrote:you dont have a "Background Image" to click on.

Re: No right-click menu on skin
If if follow santa_ryan's advice I get a blur rectangle with no visible content, presume the missing "Mode" is the offending entry.
Poiru - BackGroundMode works perfectly thank you sir. Still struggling with the rounded edges however:
However, no rounded corners. I changed the 15 to 45 then 90, but I can see no rounding.
Poiru - BackGroundMode works perfectly thank you sir. Still struggling with the rounded edges however:
What does the "1" refer to? My Meter is currently 200x405 WxH. I don't want it to drop at all, just have rounded corners so entering:BlurRegion=1,10,10,190,50
; BlurRegion creates a rectangle starting at 10 pixels from the left, 10 pixels down from the top, and ending at 190 pixels to the right, 50 pixels from the top.
Code: Select all
BlurRegion=1,0,0,200,405,15

From the manual:Seahorse wrote:What does the "1" refer to? My Meter is currently 200x405 WxH. I don't want it to drop at all, just have rounded corners so entering:
The manual is meant to be readThe first parameter, the type of the blur region, can be set to:
0 - Region is disabled
1 - Rectangular region
2 - Rectangular region with rounded corners. An additional parameter for the radius of the corners has to be specified
3 - Elliptical region
