Hello, I am CountMaxwell
I'm a teenager with a love for computers and programming (And jazz music ). I began using Rainmeter yesterday, and quickly began understanding how it works. The text files, images, and what not are all extremely simple. But then came my next problem:
How do you program your own Rainmeter skin? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
(Also, I realize this is under introductions, and so I have introduced myself, ^above^.

I would recommend starting with a simple clock skin ie, this one
Something without images and other things that way you have a very straight forward starting place and not too much code to rummage through...

Well, I created a VERY basic Skin. All it has is a task bar with a clock, and a System Info box from the tutorial.
