Port To Rainmeter by DarknesFreak
Her is my latest work, I liked the original design of the Litestep them created by x-spirit,but the problem was that i hated using LiteStep So i said why not port it to rainmeter and so i did of course i added some modification to the original design, people who are familiar or used the LiteStep them by x-spirit will see the difference, i wasn't planing on sharing this theme i kind of made it for my self, and than i changed my mind so i hope you like it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
thanks to for letting me port it to rainmeter and for the help
her is the original LiteStep theme fav.me/d3hw4ur
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pack include :Rmskin for easy install
Collection of wallpapers that go well with this skin ( wallpapers in the preview are included to )
ohh My next theme will be in futuristic high tech style i will add a preview in the next few days.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to use this theme in a good way do this
- Click on the rainmeter icon in the try section
- Choose Edit Settings
- Under the Rainmeter section in the config text file on top Write this DesktopWorkArea=0,60,1440,900
where the 1440 and the 900 are the resolution of my screen you have to set them up to your screen resolution for this to work
and the 60 is the distance which will be saved for the bar, that way the skin will always be visible
refer to this for more info rainmeter.net/cms/Settings-Rai…
Skin is featured in this article nerdsmagazine.com/rainmeter-th…

you are not supposed to use the links like that
if it is a folder use this ["link in her "]
if it's software link just leave it like normal

in the folder icons you will see two type of icons example (computer and computerH) the one with the letter H is the dark one and the other is the whit one so in order for it to work you need to re size the icons to 32x32 use this web site [link]

Hey, this is a great skin! I was just wondering how to change the app paths? In an earlier comment, you said there was a links.inc or something in the file folder, but I could find no such file... am I missing something or is there something wrong with the download? -scratches head-. sorry if the question is a little dumb o.o
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
the links file is inside folder of the rainmeter skin the actual files of the skin

Hi
You'll find it in:
C:\Users\X\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Switchin\Switchin
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The problem with the links is that in the "Switchin.ini" there is coding missing from the broken links.
For example link 1 (working) shows: LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["#link1#"]
while link 8 (broken) shows: LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute #link8#
so, you have to change the broken links to look like the link 1...
like (using 8 as an example again): LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["#link8#"]

Hi. I saw your minimalist work and it looks good. Would you consider creating it in a black theme? I have the Omnimo now on a Carbon modded Win7 [x64] system. Would I have to take down the Omnimo theme to accomodate this?

Hey ~DarknesFreak, how do I place the bar to the bottom of the screen? It only lets me pull it down to a certain point.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you can't place it in the bottom it was designed like this it wont go down because there is hidden panels that's why
