Mostly, it's about:Hi everyone, I'm a new user for rainmeter, and I downloaded it mostly to make small side projects for myself related to personal QoL on my computer. I was going to try and make things such as my own todo list and the such. I looked through the basic manual and all, but I thought it would be good to ask here for general tips on how to start making your own skin with custom things and what sort of things make a good/seamless skin.
- keep things ordered (order matters in the code)
- keep things grouped (measures first, meters second)
- start things simple (helps in the beginner phase)
- take the next step only after the previous step is complete and fully understood
- know what you want and be specific, have a logical plan
- use the manual to experiment and learn, ask for help when you stumble
- test with other skins to get the idea, but start fresh to know it yourself
- most things are possible, so be creative to find out how to do it
None of these are mandatory, but they help in making stuff clearer and more efficient.
