Re: Auto hide skin

Post by jsmorley »

I understand (from IRC) that you want to have an entire skin "hidden" until you mouse over it. This is possible, but kinda of a kludge. Let's look at a couple of ways to approach this:

- You could have the skin in question "always there", but "invisible" This could be done by putting lines like this:

[Rainmeter]
OnRefreshAction=!SetTransparency 1
MouseOverAction=!SetTransparency 255
MouseLeaveAction=!SetTransparency 1

This would only be appropriate if it is ok that the skin is really "there" all the time, and it won't get in the way of other skins when it is invisible.

- You could have loading / unloading the skin driven by some other skin. For instance a little invisible "hotspot" skin in the corner of the screen, or a meter on some other skin.

Here is a sample "hotspot" idea:

Skin1:

[Rainmeter]
Update=500
MouseOverAction=!RainmeterActivateConfig MyConfigs\Skin2 Skin2.ini

[Meter1]
Meter=Image
Solidcolor=0,0,0,1
W=20
H=20

Skin2:
[Rainmeter]
MouseLeaveAction=!RainmeterDeactivateConfig MyConfigs\Skin2

The same concept as above could be used on a meter of some kind on another existing skin, if that works better than a "hotspot".
