Hi!

Post by scaz1234 »

Hi, I'm brand new to rainmeter and am loving it so far. Just a quick question, is there any way to make all open skins go transparent on a double click?

Cheers

!RainmeterSetTransparency [AlphaAmount] (Config)
Sets the transparency of a skin from 0 (invisible) to 255 (opaque).
Replace AlphaAmount with a number 0-255 (Depending on how transparent you want it, with 0 being invisible to 255 being completely visible)

Replace Config with * (with star meaning ALL CONFIGS)

So...

Code: Select all

!RainmeterSetTransparency 100 *
will make all skins go to alpha level 100

Now... To do this on a double click you need a double click mouse bang

Code: Select all

LeftMouseDoubleClickAction
So...

Code: Select all

LeftMouseDoubleClickAction=!RainmeterSetTransparency 100 *

After thats done, you need to set this in ALL of the [Rainmeter] sections of every skin that you want to be able to Double Click and have all skins go transparent.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
LeftMouseDoubleClickAction=!RainmeterSetTransparency 100 *
Also, your going to want to set something like

Code: Select all

MiddleMouseDoubleClickAction=!RainmeterSetTransparency 255 *
to revert the transparency when you want to.

So final result is something similar to below:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
LeftMouseDoubleClickAction=!RainmeterSetTransparency 100 *
MiddleMouseDoubleClickAction=!RainmeterSetTransparency 255 *
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.
