Comment on Simple RM Launcher by danieliop
Ok, I went on PS made a 25x150 Pixel Transparent Canvas.. Saved it as .png and then I wrote this code but it's not working quite right.. Can you point out what is wrong?

You have two [Meter_Background]
Try calling them [iTunes_Background], [MyComputer_Background], and so on.

Didn't work 
Have you done it on your PC? Can you copy a few lines of code so I can edit it ^^

already did that
Hmm
Try making the image 1% transparent. I mean, 1% opacity black background.
This once worked for me.

Some advancement, I added the text to the png file instead, so now that works fine and I can click the area rather than the text but it won't actually open the program still..
[iTunes_Background]
Meter=IMAGE
ImageName=Transparent Background(2).png
x=0
y=26r
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute["C:\Program Files\iTunes\itunes.exe"]
is all the code i've got ^^

Hmm, did you know you can use the same image many times? You don't need one background for each meter.
But try putting as title [Meter_MyComputer].
Later I will analyze it better, I'm working on Android right now.

Oh and where do I need to put the .png files? I put them in the same skins folder on Rainmeter, not sure that's correct ^^
