RAIN METER-2.4 (FULL VERSION)

DESCRIPTION:-

Rainmeter's basic purpose is to run skins. A skin is a movable, dynamic, sometimes-interactive window that appears over the Windows desktop, and usually gathers and displays information of some kind.

Skins come with many different sizes, styles, user interfaces, and levels of complexity. Rainmeter includes utilities for publishing and installing 3rd-party skins. Each skin is generally stored and loaded as an independent, self-contained module.

Files and Folders

All skins are stored in Rainmeter's "Skins" folder. If Rainmeter has been installed normally, the default location of the Skins folder is:

• C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\My Documents\Rainmeter\Skins¹ (for Windows XP).
• C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins¹ (for Windows Vista, 7 and 8).

If Rainmeter is installed as a portable application, the Skins folder is found in the installation folder. The Skins folder can also be changed in Rainmeter's settings.

A skin is stored as a file called "SkinName.ini" in its own folder within Skins, as in:Rainmeter\Skins\SkinName\SkinName.ini.¹ (The file and folder names do not need to match.)

All of these folder paths may be referenced in a skin as built-in-variables.

1. "YourName" and "SkinName" are examples.

Variants

If one folder contains multiple SkinName.ini¹ files, they are each considered variants of the same skin. This means that only one variant can be active at a time, and all variants use the same settings. Separate skins must be stored in separate folders.

1. "YourName" and "SkinName" are examples.

@Resources

Any supporting files used by the skin, such as images, addon executables, sounds, or Lua scripts, should also be stored in the skin folder. Complex skins are recommended to store supporting files in a folder called@Resources inside the root config folder. The @Resources folder is ignored by Rainmeter, except to load custom fonts and custom cursors.

Config

Each skin is identified with a certain config name. The config name is based on the path from the main Skins folder to the skin file. For example, if a skin is located at...

C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Foo\Bar\SkinName.ini

...then the config name would be:

Foo\Bar

Because skins may have any number of variants, many Rainmeter features—especially bangs—refer to a specific skin by its config name, rather than the skin's filename.

Root config

Skins may also be stored in subfolders within the same root config folder. They share the same @Resourcesfolder, and are packaged and installed together. Otherwise, Rainmeter treats each subfolder as a separate config.

For example, the following skins belong to the "illustro" suite:

C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\illustro\Clock\Clock.ini
C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\illustro\Network\Network.ini

This means that they are both located in the same root config folder, "illustro," in the main Skins directory.

C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\illustro\

Each skin has a unique config name:

illustro\Clock
illustro\Network

But since they belong to the same root config, they share the same @Resources folder:

C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\illustro\@Resources\

A suite is an informal term for skins that are organized together in this manner. Suites are often used by skin authors to make a set of skins that share a common style, or complement each other in some way. If a root config folder contains only one SkinName.ini file, then the config and root config are the same, and the skin can be stored, packaged and installed by itself.
