How do I get default skins back?

Post by Blitz »

Alright so, I just installed Rainmeter. Looked great, and I started to just mess around with it a tad. I accidentally closed the "Network" skin. I think, "Oops, let me just reopen that..." but I found no way to. After looking for some solutions to no avail, I uninstalled Rainmeter and reinstalled it. Skin was still gone, so I figured it was using my old skin directory so I deleted it entirely. Now, no matter what I do I just get an error message saying:

There are no available skins at:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\

How can I do a complete re-installation without Rainmeter trying to use my old, non existent skins?

when you want a complete uninstall then check this

and then install the latest beta. Normally rainmeter create the skin folder with illustro.

Otherwise create the folder manual and unpack the rainmeter installer and copy the folder illustro to the skin folder and illustro default to the themes folder
Rainmeter - You are only limited by your imagination and creativity.

Apparently the uninstaller doesn't delete the Application Data folder. Thanks a ton, worked like a charm.
