Configuration

You can configure the behavior of the package by editing the user settings file (Preferences > Package Settings > Rainmeter > Settings - User). See "Settings - Default" for all available settings and their description as well as how a settings file should look. If you want to change one of those settings, copy it to your user settings file and change the value. It is best to only copy those settings into your user settings file that you actually want to change, since they will override the default ones. The settings file must have an opening curly brace at the top, and a closing one at the bottom. Also, all settings except the last one must be terminated with a comma or Sublime will throw error dialogs at you.

Setting Your Rainmeter Path

If your Rainmeter is not installed in C:\Program Files\Rainmeter you should change the "rainmeter_path" setting to the path where you installed Rainmeter. You can check if you set it correctly by selecting "Refresh Rainmeter" from the "Rainmeter" section in the "Tools" menu and seeing if Rainmeter is actually refreshed.

Setting Your Skins Path

Only set the "rainmeter_skins_path" setting if "Tools > Rainmeter > Open Skins Folder..." does not correctly open your skins folder. The package will try to detect your skins folder automatically (including changes to "SkinPath" in Rainmeter.ini) so it's recommended not to set this setting if everything is working fine.

Selecting Your Color Scheme

There are several built-in color schemes you can choose from. If you don't want to use the default color scheme "Monokai (Rainmeter)", you can select a custom one by setting the "color_scheme" setting in your user settings file.

The following color schemes are currently included in the package:

  • Lachgummi Joghurt.tmTheme
  • Monokai (Rainmeter).tmTheme
  • Nexus (Rainmeter).tmTheme
  • RainLexer.tmTheme
  • Rainmeter (Light).tmTheme

Using other color schemes that are not optimized for Rainmeter is possible, but will probably yield sub-optimal results.

Customizing Your Key Bindings

If you don't like the key bindings the package provides by default you can define your own. Look at "Preferences > Package Settings > Rainmeter > Key Bindings - Default" to see how the key bindings are defined. You can add your own by editing "Preferences > Key Bindings - User".
