@ActiveColors:
I will look into these inconsistencies a bit harder when I get some time. It might save me some time to have a small set of skins to test with. Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
@Brian,
I have finally prepared for you this skin for test purposes.
Where it says, for example, "Activated skin illustro\Clock\Clock.ini", for that test you need to have the "clock.ini" activated. I put all the buttons to do that for you! Let me know if something is not clear.
As you said, I do hope these things could be "fixed" with just better wording choices.
Some of the bangs output in the log "not active" while others output “not found”. I am not sure what they really mean from the code's perspective, given the confusion on the user’s side. From my user perspective, "not found" implies to me that Rainmeter read the folder and checked if the file and folder exist. Or does “not found” mean “not found among the running skins”? Anyway, my goal was to make you aware of and demonstrate the perceived inconsistenices that hopefully could be resolved with just better wording.
My color coding in the skin:
Green = ok, could be improved
Grey = misleading, unexpected result
Red = critical, possibly a bug
