I'm trying to change the rainmeter version from 0.7 to 0.9, because it seems that 0.7 causes more than a few problems on my PC (memory leak I think). When I do change the version in the theme.rc file, I get a bunch of errors (skin not found). So, I change a few settings around to try and point to the place where the skins are, but it then says that it cannot load the images. Anyone know what else I can do?

Read the docs for Rainmeter .9...sounds like a few settings changed.

I did, I wouldn't try to edit it without knowing what has/hadn't changed. Thanks anyway :).

I'll just switch themes.

1. You should create a "rainmeter" directory (let's say in $themedir$)
2. In this directory, you should, at least, create one "skin" directory (let's call it "defaultskin")
3. Put your rainmeter.ini in the "rainmeter" dir.
4. Put your skin.ini and images in the "skin" dir.
5. add this to your theme.rc:
rainmeterinifile "$themedir$rainmeter\rainmeter.ini"
rainmeterskinpath "$themedir$rainmeter"

6. !recycle
