I really like this skin!

how can I start program with switch in Panels\Launcher?
I have to start Chrome with --user-data-dir switch, but I couldn't..

I used a path below..
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --user-data-dir:\Chrome
BUT not works..
when I remove switch, it worked.

sorry my poor English..

I'm not sure what do you mean.
Anyway if you want to start Google chrome it doesn't need a path, just write chrome.exe

I love this <3

In the "RSS Feed" config file there's a small error
Please change it to

"[Feed]
Measurelugin
Pluginlugins\WebParser.dll
Url=#URL1#"

to be able to edit feeds on the first feed-page.

Atm the url shows direct link to google news, which will make it show the google news instead of what other feed you edit the first window to show.

Wow, love this theme, great job. Just one question. I have dual monitor setup and the dark background bar, is there a way to duplicate it so that I can have it on both my monitors? Thanks again

UltimateRT In reply to leetscooby [2012-01-29 10:22:08 +0000 UTC]

Yes, just right click on it, choose first option from the drop-down menu, copy "panel.ini" file in new folder, restart rainmeter and you should have another panel for your second screen.

leetscooby In reply to UltimateRT [2012-01-29 16:57:32 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, I tried that, all it does is make the original panel flicker a bit. (yes I restarted rain meter). Thanks man.

Alternativly just open panel.ini with notepad and change the "W" (width) value with a little less than full screen. Not sure why but if you go too far on mine it moves it to the seccond monitor.

Hey, I'm not sure if im missing something but I can't get gmail skin to work. I've entered my gmail username (XXX@gmail.com) and my password but the skin is just showing N\A. I found the config notepad by right clicking but is there something else I need to go to get it set up?

Is there any way to change existing sites in RSS feed, with sites that I like? I change URL link and make refresh but it show old site again. I also make rename on site in RSStitle and that was ok.

Canthers In reply to reinmak [2012-03-07 17:03:55 +0000 UTC]

This question must have been solved by some update I'm not aware of, because it works perfectly on my computer! I have three RSS feeds that I've chosen myself. Facebook/CNN Top Stories/CNN Europe. Works like a charm!

Unfortunately the first RSS URL is unchangeable through Configuration file, I'll fix that in the next update.

Hi,
where do I control the font used in Music Player (winamp) panel?

UltimateRT In reply to t-writer [2012-01-26 19:24:44 +0000 UTC]

It's designed to be as it is, but if you really want to change it, then it's possible only through the "edit skin" option. If you're interested to learn how to edit the font then note me.

t-writer In reply to UltimateRT [2012-01-27 06:01:30 +0000 UTC]

yeah, i'd like to change it. since some tracks contain ciryllyc characters, which are not handled by default font. I'd appreciate your help.

UltimateRT In reply to t-writer [2012-01-28 19:17:08 +0000 UTC]

Okay then. Right click on the skin, choose "edit skin", press f3, write "FontName=" and change "Century Gothic" to "SegoeUI", or to "Tahoma" if you want it to work with ANY language.

t-writer In reply to UltimateRT [2012-01-30 07:36:01 +0000 UTC]

well, I do as you told, but I can't find "FontName=" in the Winamp.ini

UltimateRT In reply to t-writer [2012-01-30 12:19:48 +0000 UTC]

I guess, I must been using older code "FontFace="

t-writer In reply to UltimateRT [2012-01-31 09:21:06 +0000 UTC]

yeah, I see 'FontFace' there but the font is specified as "Segoe UI", not Century Gothic as you stated.

UltimateRT In reply to t-writer [2012-01-31 12:13:06 +0000 UTC]

Okay... then just change it to "Tahoma".

An excellent skin.
Two questions:
Is there a way to change the temperature into Fahrenheit?
Is there a way to change the time from 24-hour to 12-hour?

UltimateRT In reply to cohnai [2012-01-24 20:36:47 +0000 UTC]

If you would read the description you would find a link to video tutorial about how to set up the whole thing.
As for 12 hour time you should use google, because I can't remember the code.

Just a thing I noticed about the dA feed. It at least doubles Rainmeter's RAM usage (and adds a bit to the CPU usage, too.)
I guess it just is like that though, and can't be optimized... dunno.

UltimateRT In reply to Viski94 [2012-01-16 19:08:38 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunatley I don't know if it's possible to make it more efficient, but if you wait some 30 minutes it should load old RAM files into SWAP, of course if you're on Windows XP.

Viski94 In reply to UltimateRT [2012-01-17 15:03:17 +0000 UTC]

Okay... I'm not using the dA feed anyway so it doesn't really matter.

I forgot how to setup the time.My place is Skopje,Macedonia and I think the code is MKXX0001.Please, can you make the URL as it should be so I could paste it into my config?I've been banging my head around this for half an hour already still the skin won't refresh as it should..

UltimateRT In reply to D4M33 [2012-01-15 21:11:05 +0000 UTC]

Code is correct [link]
Right-click on "Riga, Latvia" on the skin, than paste "MKXX0001" in location, save and refresh. It worked form me.
