EDIT: PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HERE FIRST, AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE TEXT.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE 2.5 BETA!

If you have the 2.5 Beta, please uninstall it and completely remove any reference or pieces of it left after uninstalling the 2.5 beta, this skin is only compatible with 2.4


An Update to my Ginza skin for Rainmeter is out NOW!! CLICK THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON AND TRY GINZA TODAY!! *Record Halt*

Turn off whatever Icons you wish after first starting this skin by right clicking the icon, going to Variants -> iconname.ini, to turn it off (for those that did not know how to do so, thanks)

~~~~PLEASE READ BELOW BEFORE INSTALLING~~~~
Due to the many changes i have made to the skin, it is HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED that you first delete the old Ginza skin folder, which can be found in My Documents -> Rainmeter -> Skins, and delete the entire Ginza directory, and do a fresh install, this ensures this update works correctly, thank you.

__---===CHANGE LOG===---__
Whats New:
-Added Ability for users to define the directory for the various icons with and without text
-Code has been updated to comply with latest version of Rainmeter
- More Icons, and 3 Custom Icons you can use to launch any Programs of your choosing
- The Intro panel is now closable by clicking it once.

Changes:
- Added New Settings panel so users can set the directories for icons much much easier (instructions at the bottom of this post), panel will be tidied up as progress continues
- Removed the Ugly Analogue Clock, Only the Digital Remains, a new shiny clock is coming soon
- Alot of changed code to meet the specs of the current update
- Added alot more Icons for the Task Bar and the Icon Dock
- Moved several files to tidy the directory
- Hopefully, fixed an annoying bug from the Beta Test where any user set directories were not being updated correctly
__---===END CHANGELOG===---__


~~~INSTRUCTIONS~~~
BEFORE INSTALLING: If you are using the 2.5 beta of rainmeter, please properly uninstall it and cleanse your system of anything related to the 2.5 beta, if this is not done, there is a very high chance the skin will not work, the skin is only compatable with 2.4

To set the Directories using the new Settings Panel, Click on the Text that says "Steam.exe Directory" or "Dreamweaver.exe Directory" or any other one, they are all editable, once clicked, a text box will appear, you HAVE to write the full absolute path to the executable, an example is below:

Example: D:Program FilesSteamSteam.exe

and then hit Enter, it should automatically update, if the icons are not working after writing in the correct directory, then please right click a rainmeter skin part and go to Rainmeter -> Refresh All, this will force the icons to update.


Set each icon directory accordingly.


Stay Tuned for another update on Ginza Soon!

you need to make sure you write the full directory, that includes the drive letter, so like:

D:\Program Files\Mozilla\FireFox.exe

if you have done that and it doesnt work, right click a peice of the skin and go to: Rainmeter -> Refresh All.


it should work after that.

go to My Doucments -> Rainmeter -> skins -> Ginza -> Vars -. Open the usersettings.inc file in notepad, inside, there should be Firefox=, ont he end of that, type the full directory, do not use any "'s, or 's, type in the dirve letter with full directory, save the file, right click rainmeter,rainmeter -> refresh all.


it works on all systems i have tested on and even sent it to multiple people and it works perfectly fine, so try that method and if that doesnt work then you are not doing something right im sorry to say.

if you are by chance trying to use it on linux Via WINE then i would not because linux is not supported.

well i am unsure of what is causing your problem then, it works on all the nurmerous boxes i have tested on, from a range of boxes on windows XP to windows 7 ultimate and friends PC's which totals nearly 30 machines that have not had a problem. it may be a rainmeter related problem, and not my skins.
