hey,
I installed and integrated Raindexer. I also edited VDMConfig.ini and restarted Dexpot/Rainmeter. But I can't define the whole skin. If i use the path for every object it works but this isn't acceptable.

[WP7\TextItems\SystemInfo]
VDesktop=3

... works great. But

[WP7]
VDesktop=3

... for the whole skin. Doesn't work :(


Can you help me please.

I'm prolly just as lost as you have you had any success of coding it together and getting 2 or more themes/desktops to show up?

I think what you could do prolly is just load all the bits and pieces of Omnimo/WP7 you want wherever and forget loading the theme... Because once all the pieces are where you want theres your theme right there! Plus all the widgets, panels and plugins are subfolders inside the WP7 folder.

:arrow: Latest version of Raindexer plugin here

Save the attached new version of the Raindexer plugin to your Dexpot plugin folder. Create a Config Group called WP7 and use this in VDMConfig.ini:

Code: Select all

[WP7]
VDesktop=3
HideMethod=Group

It's acting really weird, after using my latest RDMConfig.ini, it worked correctly kinda... All except Omnimo or WP7 was all out of order and everywhere... Desktop 2 was correctly in order which is just a customized mockup of a few themes and widgets/plugins...

Sometimes it'll show up and other times I have to restart both rainmeter and dexpot. Not to mention, half the time when I do this or load a theme only that theme will show up... It only happened a few times that both would show up.

Here lately my mouse and rainmeter only has been being stupid and everytime I right click on a rainmeter object to get the menu to popup it'll show up then disappear real quickly and it only happens with rainmeter everything else I right click on displays the menu and it stays there... Rainmeter even does it in the taskbar.

Suddenly it's only displaying one object in the desktop 2 even though everything is there in VDMConfig.ini and I can't bring them cause of the stupid right click rainmeter refusing to stay put and show up... No matter how many times I restart rainmeter or my computer this problem keeps reoccurring!

I'm using Dexpot 1.4 beta and Rainmeter 2.1 r912 beta (That version of rainmeter cause it's the last version that supports rainrez)

Hello, I am was using dexpot (and loving it) when I stumbled over rainmeter. I found this plugin and it worked, except rainmeter has to start BEFORE dexpot in order for my skins to appear on their correct desktop. So when I started up, it didnt work. I found a program to delay dexpot to start 40 seconds late, and this works because rainmeter appears about 5 seconds before dexpot. HOWEVER, this almost doubles my boot time. Why does rainmeter take so long to start (35ish seconds after reaching the desktop)? Somethings wrong because it shouldn't take that long. Is there a program to change the order of startup programs without having to set a delay? Or even better, WHY DOES RAINMETER HAVE TO START BEFORE DEXPOT? Thanks

:dex:

Rainmeter does not have to be started before Dexpot, at least not in theory. Does the problem only occur at system boot or also when you manually start Dexpot first and Rainmeter second?

Regarding the long Rainmeter start-up time, you'll have to aks on the Rainmeter forums...

Please send me your VDMConfig.ini file. Also, make sure you have the latest Raindexer version from here.
