Description A simple launcher I've made, again, to fit my desktop.
You can add and remove options, only by copying or deleting the groups.
Also, when you create a new shortcut, you don't need to regulate positions, it regulates automatically (just don't copy the first group; copy the last one and then edit the options.)

I'm new to this sorta thing and i was trying to change the directory of some of the apps and when i put the directory of my games instead of yours it will either just do nothing or will just open the folder where the game is located in. How do i change it so it launches my games?

Because that's it, it's a Rainmeter skin. You drop it to your Rainmeter folder, then add it to your desktop via Rainmeter itself

Does invisible.png have, at least, 1% opacity? If not, try putting it. Once, it worked for me.

awesome, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
Any suggestions on how you could make every "entry" 100% clickable, eg. by inserting a transparent background-image?
Just so something happens if you click the middle of an 'o' for example.

You have two [Meter_Background]

Try calling them [iTunes_Background], [MyComputer_Background], and so on.

danieliop In reply to Niacim [2012-03-12 11:59:45 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I forgot to answer before (this can be causing the problem): The PNGs needs to be at the same folder the skin is. So, you need to put the PNGs in the Simple Launcher folder.

Some advancement, I added the text to the png file instead, so now that works fine and I can click the area rather than the text but it won't actually open the program still..

[iTunes_Background]
Meter=IMAGE
ImageName=Transparent Background(2).png
x=0
y=26r
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute["C:\Program Files\iTunes\itunes.exe"]

is all the code i've got ^^

danieliop In reply to Niacim [2012-03-12 15:16:29 +0000 UTC]

Got hte problem! It's in your code.

It should be
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"]

With a space between Execute and the problem.

danieliop In reply to Niacim [2012-03-12 14:43:58 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, did you know you can use the same image many times? You don't need one background for each meter.

But try putting as title [Meter_MyComputer].


Later I will analyze it better, I'm working on Android right now.

love the skin. however is there a way to make it easier to click the links? Right now i have to try and click one of the letters. and since the font is really thin its kinda hard to click it. is there a way to have a transparent background behind each link so clicking it wont be so difficult?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

danieliop In reply to oblivion0904 [2012-01-10 11:50:20 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, there is a way. You can add a background to each program, then give the "open" command to the background instead to the text. You can do it yourself, but if you need help, feel free to ask.

i'd like to have this functionality but i really don't understand how (i managed to create my "invisible background" but can't add it to each links)

danieliop In reply to mortaga123 [2012-03-11 01:36:48 +0000 UTC]

You have to reposition it. I mean, put x and y like the text is.

Example:

Text for "Launch Mario" is at x=150 y=0
Then BG for it might be at x=150 y=0

Got it?

I see you have two x's and y's there. You only need one.

Now, you need to calculate the size of the box. I mean, your invisible BG is there, but it is small.

Try putting values like:

h=25
w=150

Go trying until you get satisfied. Just remember: a too low value will make some parts of the text without an action; a too high value will make parts without the text clickable.

You should use Photoshop to make it. If you don't got the money, try GIMP, its free. Google for them.
