Hello, I wanted to load a Rainmeter skin into nexus dock, and i heard somewhere that if you setup a rainmeter bang in the arguments section you should be able to load a skin from it.

I am trying to set it up but most likely i am missing or doing something wrong. Anyone ever tried to do it?

Thanks a bunch :)

As far as I'm aware, Rainmeter skins are not compatible with any Winstep app - certainly would very much surprise me if they were, and I use RM myself sometimes. RM skins are a totally different affair to Winstep themes. The latter consist of bitmap (raster) gfx files and human-readable configuration files, while the former use vector gfx and hard to learn configs. So I couldn't possibly imagine any kind of compatibility. But as ever, I'd like to be proved wrong. :)

As Nexter said, Rainmeter and Winstep are unrelated programs and one cannot load the other.

I'm curious where you "heard somewhere" that you can do that?

The closest I can find is this question. The answer says that while you can't load a Winstep theme, it does tell you how you can load a theme for Rainmeter.
