Comment on Magnum by DarknesFreak
I'm having trouble installing, whenever I run the Magnum.rnskin file it says that it's not able to backup to its backup folder, then that the "Install thread failed". Already tried uninstalling then reinstalling, no joy, tried troubleshooting compatibility, also no joy. Anyone have ideas? I'm running windows 7 home premium x64 by the way
try using the latest 2.1 beta of Rainmeter
Got the problem solved, extracted it to my desktop and ran the rmskin file from there, it installed just fine. Question for you though... being that I'm all new to this whole rainmeter deal, if i were to change the bg1/2 skin variables to any random .png file, would it take the change? I'd just like to change the colors of the bars is all
great to hear that ...
for your question if you want to change the bg1\bg2 skin variables to any files it will of course take changes you have to options
1- change the png files for the skin if that happens the entire skin will be affected the by the changes you made on the file and i don't recommend that because they share the same files
2-change the bg1\bg2 skin variables to something else for example the default path for the files is like this
BG1=#SKINSPATH#\Magnum\Resources\Black Small Bar.png
BG2=#SKINSPATH#\Magnum\Resources\White Small Bar.png
if i want to change individual color bar for each skin i would do this
--make a folder inside the Resources folder name it what ever you want
inside it create a multiple colored bars
now for the config files in the variables section do this
BG1=#SKINSPATH#\Magnum\Resources\foldername\name of the colored bar1.png
BG1=#SKINSPATH#\Magnum\Resources\foldername\name of the colored bar2.png
now i hope tat helps
