In addition, we will be using some more features of the String meter and dip our toes a little deeper into using action options and Bangs in your skin.įirst, as we did in our earlier tutorial, let's add the section to control the Update speed of the skin. Measures are used to obtain some information in Rainmeter, from your computer's system, text files, web sites, and other sources. This tutorial will introduce using Measures in a skin. Don't load the skin just yet, we need to add some code first. This will open the new skin file in your default text editor. Find Clock.ini in the list, right-click it and say 'Edit'. Click on the Refresh all button on the bottom left, and you should see your new Tutorials / Clock config in the list. Now, left-click the Rainmeter icon in the Windows notification area on your taskbar, to open the Manage dialog. In Windows explorer, you can simply right-click in the folder and say 'New / Text document'. In that Tutorials\Clock folder, create a new empty text file. Under Skins\Tutorials\ create a new folder called Clock. We are going to add a new folder under that one to create our new skin.
In the previous tutorial, you should have already created a folder under Skins called Tutorials.
