Rainmeter fade skins
How can I make rainmeter close the skins one at a time with fade effect or just with a fade effect?

What do you mean "Close the skins"?
Do you mean when you end the rainmeter process by exiting? (Possible with a skin that is specifically made to close rainmeter, or a batch file or similiar)
Do you mean when unloading the skin with rainbrowser or the right click menu? (Not possible)
Do you mean fade at a certain time? (Possible with a calc)
Do you mean fade when you click a button on a skin?
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Be a bit more specific with what you want to do for more help!RainmeterShowFade (Config), !RainmeterHideFade (Config), !RainmeterToggleFade (Config)
Shows or hides the current or specified (Config) skin using a "fade" effect. The speed of the fade is determined by the "FadeDuration=" setting for the skin in Rainmeter.ini.
!RainmeterHideFadeGroup [Group]
Hide the configs in the specified group using a fade effect.
!RainmeterShowFadeGroup [Group]
Show the configs in the specified group using a fade effect.
!RainmeterToggleFadeGroup [Group]
Toggle the configs in the specified group between show and hide using a fade effect.

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.

Re: Rainmeter fade skins
When windows starts or turns off i want rainmeter to start and end the skins with a fade effect (like the desktopx widgets). One at a time it its possible. I don't want the skins just to appear/disappear I want them to fade.

Re: Rainmeter fade skins
Unfortunately this isn't possible in native rainmeter as far as I know
You could make a batch file with te show fade bangs and use thatas your startup for rainmeter

Re: Rainmeter fade skins
If you like calcs you can have a timer that reduces the alpha value.
When the alpha value reaches something like, 4, you can have it to fade completely.
I would think you can to the same when you want them to fade in again, but how to get them to work together with one another is a bit tricky in my mind atm.
But you can make them fade slowly if you are any way familiar with calcs, bangs and DynamicVariables.

I don't think, therefore I'm not.

Re: Rainmeter fade skins
I don't want them to fade when windows is running just when windows starts or turns off or when I manualy close rainmeter.

Re: Rainmeter fade skins
Like i said in my previous post,
you can use the Fade bangs in a batch file or autoit to do the fade in on windows start by just placing your script in the startup directory of windows or making a new reg. entry
OR, you can use a Calc, dynamic variables, a counter, an IfEqual measurement, and a simple !RainmeterDisableMeasure bang.
You can't to this for exiting rainmeter though, unless you have a script designed to close rainmeter.
