Brand new and a question!

[Bertimus]

How do I install this Rainmeter thing?


Haha j/k

Hello there I am Robert! You can call me Bertimus - Bert - Berty - whatever you desire!

Now I have Rainmeter of course and it is FABULOUS! I love it. I was wondering if there was a specific skin.

Anyone that has Objectdock, there is a setting called "Ghost-mode" Under setting>effects

Now I was wondering if there were skins (calender, mp3player, etc) that are designed like this.

For everyone that has no Idea what I mean, basically the skin is invisible on screen, so when my computer turns on there is NOTHING on screen - but when you scroll over the icon it appears and you can move it etc - but once you move from it, it disappears.

Right click on any skin, Settings ==> Hide On Mouseover
this should do what your asking.

[Bertimus]

Close.

I want it to do the opposite.

Be in hide mode all the time, then mouse over to make it appear.

I want the desktop to be completely empty except for my wallpaper, then for things to appear when i move my mouse around.

So you want it to be hidden until mouseover? Do the following.

1. 1.) Right Click

• 2.) Configs

• 3.) Manage Skins

• 4.) Active Tab

• 5.) Highlight Skin You Want To Change Settings For

• 6.) Settings (Bottom)

• 7.) Set Percent Transparency to 99

• 8.) Set Fade IN on Mouse Over

• 9.) Return

Repeat steps 6 - 10 for each skin.

Just add the following to the [Rainmeter] section at the top of each skin:

BackGroundMode=2
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
OnRefreshAction=!Execute [!RainmeterSetTransparency 1 #CURRENTCONFIG#]
MouseOverAction=!Execute [!RainmeterSetTransparency 255 #CURRENTCONFIG#]
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterSetTransparency 1 #CURRENTCONFIG#]

AWESOME!
This is pretty sweet, I have a few things I like to keep normal like the CornerClock skin, but most of my other skins together dont really go/look cluttered so this will be nice for a real clean look I want

I did santa_ryan's method and it had the effect I was looking for!
