Hey there!
Totally in love with the skin, but I'm getting a weird bug
Whenever I try to change the title, it goes back to 'No Title' immediately. The icons work fine though.
Any thoughts?

After you type your name into the field you need to press ENTER. It is not a bug, it is just how plugin works.

Download archive rghost.ru/51730640
Place archive content into the folder with rainmeter skins.
Launch Ex1.ini and Ex2.ini files and also open them with the editor which you use to see what is done there.
What I did is changing parameters through !writekeyvalue and variables
When you click on button in Ex2.ini action takes variables from Ex2.ini and places them into Ex1.ini
Follow the instructions written there.

1st comment didn't show up even after waiting for an hour so posting this.
two possible bugs:
1.can not drag reduced no. of applications launcher box all the way to bottom.e.g.launcher with 1 application & launcher with 9 applications both have same vertical height from bottom of the screen but 1 application launcher window can not be dragged further down even though there is space available below.i think positioning coordinates do not take into account changed launcher window size because of reduced no. of application.
2.on my system i can not set the title of application though i can set icon & path correctly & it works correctly too.i even tried changing #NOTITLE# to #NOTITL# but as soon as i click ok it change back to #NOTITLE#.i tried restarting rainmeter beta v3.1.0 r2187 but no success.

Actually your first comment showed up, but anyway, both of your notices are not bugs:
1. To make it dragable to the parts of the desktop where it cannot be dragged, click right button on the mouse on the skin > choose "Settings" > uncheck "Keep on scren".
2. The inputs in Rainmeter are called Windows inputs and they are developed so that you need to press Enter key on your keyboard after typing in. I mean after typing names in inputs press Enter to save names.

OK!it worked.thanks for clarifying this.just a suggestion though if possible include this & some other similar details in a readme file somewhere in install as it will help 1st time users like me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure, feel free to ask questions. Yeah, I'm thinking about little documentation in the skin or as readme file. Thanks for the idea

Hi, very good work. I have translated it in my language (Italian). If you want, i can send you the Italiano.inc file.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that would be nice. I will include translation in the next release
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
you can add spanish too and include drag icons in the launcher
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I don't know Spanish language. If you know this language you can translate it by yourself by editing "Personal Edition.inc" file in the skin directory. If you wish then you can send this file to me and I will include translation to the next release.
Dragging feature can't be done because there is no dragging support in Rainmeter.
