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.)

You put the image in the same folder as the skin is (together with the main ini files).

The code you use is:

[Meter_Background]
Meter=IMAGE
ImageName=FileName.png
ut the name there. Use PNGs as backgrounds.
x=
y=
;y and x are used to re-position the image in the skin, if it goes wrong.
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute["PutTheProgramPathHere.exe"]
;It needs to be like I putted, except you trade PutTheProgramPathHere with the path. Keep the " !!!
;In that commands, I'm saying clicking with LeftMouseButton(Up) should do the following action, that is Execute the desired program.

--
You can just copy and paste all I write above. As I wrote the notes with ;s Rainmeter read them as comments.
For example, I want to execute Winamp. Then I write: !Execute["C:/Programs Files/Winamp/winamp.exe"]

[APP1]
Meter=STRING
X=0
Y=0
FontColor=255, 255, 255, 100
FontSize=20
FontFace=Segoe UI Light
StringStyle=NORMAL
StringAlign=LEFT
AntiAlias=1
Text="Library"

[Meter_Background]
Meter=IMAGE
ImageName=background1.png
x=
y=
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"]

------------------------//---------------------------

[APP2]
Meter=STRING
X=0
Y=26r
FontColor=255, 255, 255, 100
FontSize=20

You can't have two meters with the same name. Put them like,

[Meter_Background] [Meter_Background_02]

Or even

[BG_Library] [BG_Starcraft]

You decide how to put them, but they need to have different names.

Nice one. I would like to see this rmskin on horizontal like this;

Library | Photoshop | Games | Such | Blablabla

And, it should be nice to put on any center of desktop. Well, that's my idea. Would you make it?
