I'm really not in for this right now, so the best way for you would be if you download the beta (link in description) and click on the clock to bring up 'cpanel', from there on it should be smooth sailing. About the weather: [link]

I love this design and the functionality of it... however I can't get my Gmail to work on the desktop and I can't figure out how to edit the weather panel. It has the weather for Latvia... when I live in California.
Please help!

As for the weather, if you right click where it says Latvia,it will open up a window where you can change the "Location", this is right at the top. To change the Country Code for the location go to here: [link] Then search for the city/country/wherever it is you want to show the weather for. Then in the address bar, copy the country code and paste it into the setup window

Open up the Gmail panel, hover over the "N/A" text and then right click it. This will open a window where you can input your username and password. A VERY important note, if you've turned "2 Step Verification" on for Gmail, you will need to use an "Application Specific Password" in the setup window for the Gmail skin. You can generate one by opening up Gmail in a browser, then click your name in the top right corner of Gmail, click "Account". Look on the left where it says "Security", then click "Edit" next to where it says 2 Step Verification. It will now probably ask you to type in your password again, just type in your normal password. Click "Manage Application Specific Passwords". Generate a new application specific password and then just copy and paste this into the Gmail Skin's setup window. Sorry for the big explanation, but I like to tell people things step by step so no one gets lost/confused

FileList plug-in should install in the default plugins directory when you installed the skin.
Yes, you'll be able to open whatever when clicked wherever on the panel, if you do it right... oh and middle-mouse-click (the scroll-wheel) on the panel to launch it.

Hey, where would i put FileListPlugin? would this be the reason why the gaming panel wont work?
any help would be appreciated
Kind Regards in advance

Great work, thanks!
What I'm missing is some kind of autoupdate for the Browser to show new USB devices when plugged in. Though, I guess it would always go back to the rooted path, that could be a problem.

I think if you add DynamicVariables=1 to the right measures, then you could have an auto update, but I'm not sure if the plug-in supports that, I gotta try it.

I'd be also great to customize the game panels with our own images.

Look in the older comments for solution or download the beta (link in the description).

A bit of knowledge in image editing is required. Just right-click on the panel you want to edit and choose the first option, then just edit/replace the background with any image that is exactly 400x95px in size.
I'm learning C++ at this time, so maybe for the next version of Desk Cloud there will be a software to create those panels.

in system panel, "like a boss.ini", there is a small error
the IP address only showing "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
you need to change the
Text="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" in [meterIPValue] into Text="%1"
works for me..

Under [BinEmpty] in Like a Boss.ini I added:
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"]
It opens the recycle bin when you click it. It took me a good 4 minutes of Google searching to find that out.
I find it very useful because I turned off desktop items.

Yea, I thought of adding that, because I've turned off desktop icons too. Thanks!

Is there a way to start the WMP frome the skin?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Click on where the album art should be.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This doesn't seem to work.
I looked at the WMP config,
[AlbumArt]
Meter=IMAGE
MeasureName=mAlbumArt
X=10
Y=10
H=85
W=85
PreserveAspectRatio=1
AntiAlias=1
ToolTipText="Open #Player#"
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["wmplayer.exe"]
But this only seems to work when a song is actually playing.
Any news on this?

Update (problem fixed).
Add // before IfBelowAction=!Execute (see code below).
[measureProgress]
Measure
Plugin=NowPlaying.dll
PlayerName=[mPlayer]
PlayerType
IfBelowValue=1
//IfBelowAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter AlbumArtBG][!RainmeterHideMeter AlbumArt][!RainmeterShowMeter 7th]
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter AlbumArt][!RainmeterHideMeter AlbumArtBG][!RainmeterHideMeter 7th]
