Is it possible to make skin appear when i start one specific program?
It could calculate if program is running or not by processname="*.exe", but how to make the part where skin shows / hides?

Skin activates if specific program is open?
Re: Skin activates if specific program is open?
you need one skin to monitor.
you need to use the Process plugin to see wether the application is running.

then you need an IfAction to execute a command if it is running.

in your case this command should be !ActivateConfig.

for example in the monitoring skin:

for example in the monitoring skin:
Code: Select all
[MeasureAppIsRunning]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Process.dll
ProcessName="winamp.exe"
IfBelowValue=1
DynamicVariables=1
IfBelowAction=[!DeactivateConfig SecondSkin]
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=[!ActivateConfig SecondSkin]

At first it wouldn't work for me, but then i made invisible skin for it and now it works perfectly. Thanks!
