New Skin
The Rainmeter section of the "Tools" menu contains a handy command for creating a new skin. It will prompt you for a name for the new skin, and then perform the following operations:
- Create a new folder with the name you just entered in your Skins folder
- Create the @Resources folder, and the folders Fonts, Images and Scripts inside it
- Create a new ini file with the same name as the folder, open it and insert a basic skin skeleton
- Refresh Rainmeter so it recognizes the new skin
Tip: If you want to create a new skin that isn't located directly in the
skins folder, you can enter the path to the new folder you want to create
(relative to the skins folder). In this case, the path and all subfolders will
be created and the ini file will get the name of the last folder. For example,
if you want to create a new skin called "Twitter" in Enigma/Sidebar/Reader,
enter Enigma/Sidebar/Reader/Twitter
as the skin's name. The @Resources
folder and its subdirectories will only be created if there is no @Resources
folder yet.
If you just want to create a new ini file, try the "New Skin File" command. It
will just open a new buffer and insert the skin skeleton. The same skeleton is
also available as a snippet called tskin
.
