The end-result is users who have learned nothing about how to really craft their own creations using Rainmeter. No matter how many options you provide for changing various attributes of measures and meters, you will simply never, ever, ever be able to even get in the ballpark of what is possible. The entire idea of Rainmeter is that we provide you with a canvas and some paints, and you use them to create something that pleases you.Īny tool that purports to allow users to just drag and drop measures and meters into a skin will by the nature of things at best allow for cookie-cutter creation of some standard skins. It's not a matter of how clever a programmer you are, it's that Rainmeter is not paint-by-numbers. You simply can't create a WYSIWYG interface for creating Rainmeter skins that isn't crap. While your time is yours to waste, that is exactly what will happen. While I understand and appreciate the intent, as Rainmeter can be a bit of a lift for a new user who wants to create or edit their own skins, this is almost certain to be something that I personally consider pointless and harmful to both our users and Rainmeter in general. I have to tell you that I am skeptical to the point of hostility to this entire idea.
