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?

you need one skin to monitor.
you need to use the Process plugin to see wether the application is running.
http://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/plugins/process
then you need an IfAction to execute a command if it is running.
http://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/general-options/ifactions
in your case this command should be !ActivateConfig.
http://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/bangs#ActivateConfig
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!
