I use a program for virtual screens; (Better desktop tool). Can I open and use different instances displaying different information and linking to different folders and directories on each of the virtual screens with rainmeter?

You can try making copy of this skin folder and try to launch it. I don't guarantee you success but I will try to add support launching more than 1 instance in the next version.

I have a simple question, I hope.
Is it possible to pass command line parameters to executable files?
For example: C:\SomeDirectory\Program.exe /open
Is it as simple as adding /open in the "File Path" after I "Select" the file that I want to link to?
BTW - Great app, keep up the good work!

This is somewhat unrelated but I was wondering if you have a link to your desktop background image. Love the Work Launcher btw!

This is really cool and is helping me create my own desktop, but I can't get the items to keep the name I give them. They open what I've selected, they just don't remember the title I give them. Any advice?

But I was wondering if it is possibile to change the size of that dark area that appears upon mouse over. I'd like that, and the click-region to be only slightly larger than the icons themselves (something like 34x34).
If I wasnt clear enough, here's a manipulated photo to depict my goal:

If you can help, thanks so much!
Feel free to ask any related questions.
I've understood you, but the crucial problem is I don't have much time. But I will have free time soon and later I can implement features from your request. I will reply you later.
Alternatively I'm doing update for this skin and I could probably add features from your request.

What about an "Art" 32x32 icon?

Author of these icons is not me, I've included all icons which were in original package. You might be satisfied with another icon pack.

HI!
I would like to translate the application to frensh
can you explain me how to make or just show me a little exemple
Thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey! Thanks for you support reply!
To make a translation you can edit language file (which is Personal Edition.inc) placed by address X\Work Launcher\resources \Languages\ where X is a folder with all installed Rainmeter skins.
For editing you can use simple default windows notepad.
For testing your translation you need to open skin setting then in the language menu choose Personal Translation.
Now it should be clear.
