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…

also forgot to put this. I made the internet icon go to "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" but if I hide the browser and want it back, I would have to go to my windows taskbar to get it. Is there a way to make the internet icon just open back the already existing window without it making a new one.

after tinkering around I found out that if you go to edit the "Switchin.ini" thru the Rainmeter manager and look around the "App config" section, the apps 5,8 and 9 don't have["link%"], they are left alone as: link%, so to fix it just add the [" "] to the apps that u need.
so it should look like this:
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["#link5#"]
If it works for u then that's awesome

Hey! Gorgeous work. Thanks for sharing...
I would like to change the 'my pictures', 'my documents' and the 'internet' settings, but I didn't find anything in the *.ini file... and what's about that 'Attach'-Thing? Further... I cannot open skype, dropbox and notepad? Where can I write down the directory they're located in...
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
inside my skin folder you will find a text file called Links there you will find the directory for the apps
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
But changing the links in that file doesn't cause anything. Nothing is happening although I changed the links there...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
can you post me an example of how are you using the links so i can help

Gosh, it take's really a long time to configure the ini
