Description
Finally, this is the update of AVENGERS S.H.I.E.L.D. 2.0 , with many changes, updates and new functionality, most of them already anticipated in the preview image AVENGERS S.H.I.E.L.D. 2.1 Almost final .
This skin is optimized for HD monitors 1920x1080 and can be adapted for other dimensions.
Smaller or bigger screen dimensions can cause problems for the size of the skins displayed, being too large or small.
Since the differences between the previous and the updated version are many, if you are installing this as an update of the previous version, all the existing files will be backed up in "@ Backup" folder.
If you have modified something, you can find it in the backup folder, just don't modify the rmskin installation settings, your configuration file will be updated maintaining your settings and adding all the new.
If you are installing this skin for the first time, just let the installer do his job, then, using the Options skin, configure all the options for the skins.
For any doubt, or information, click on the "Guide" button to open eight pages pdf file with all the explanations and descriptions of every skin of this suite, I suggest you to read it first.
If you're experiencing problems with Options skin, when you're trying to modify a link or an icon and nothing happens, please follow these steps:
1- try to run Rainmeter with administrator privileges: right mouse click on “Rainmeter.exe” file → Properties → Compatibility (second label) → Run this program as administrator (last option at the bottom);
- if nothing has changed:
2- go to → Avengers\@ Resource\Addons, open the folders, right mouse click on each “.exe” file → Properties → Compatibility (second label) → Run this program as administrator (last option at the bottom).
If you want to use this skin suite, you need to install the latest Rainmeter beta 3.2.0 beta r2326 (September 17 2014) or above, because some of the skins are using plugins and functionality
only available starting from this version. If you don't want to install the beta, you can always use the 2.0 version.
To Windows XP users:
- some of the new plugins and new functions (as Audiolevel and SysInfo plugins, and Mask Image function) aren't available for this System.
- for most of them there's a specific XP variant, or an alternative solution with similar functionality.
Weather.com has discontinued his xml weather data, to fix it:
- right mouse click on the weather skin to open the ini file, find and delete the Url line and then paste this new line:
Url="h ttp://wxdata. #OWN1#/wxdata/weather/local/ #OLOC1#?cc=*&unit= #Unit#&dayf=4"
- IMPORTANT - please remove the space between "h" and "ttp".
Or, if you don't want to "fight" with the code, you can download a fix from here: fav.me/dakie5h
Please, follow the instructions to update the files.
If you have modified the original file and you don't want to lose your changes, remember to save it with another name, before you copy and overwrite it with the updated files.
Rainmeter is available here: rainmeter.net/

The weather service that so many people had used for Rainmeter Weather skins now says : This service is deprecated as of 01/15/2020
Will have to wait a few weeks for people to update to new weather feed provider as whole skin has to be made due to each provider gives feed in different format according to what I gathered on the forums.

Hi. Love the skin, it's the reason I installed Rainmeter. I just had a quick question about the folders - Currently only the top left and top right pop up a list of sub folders (set in the second folder screen in Options) - is there a way to set the other folder buttons to do the same? Outside of manually creating all the correct sections in the assorted .inc and .ini files?

Weather skin is located in "AV Weather" folder.
I don't think there may be a bug, but if you can't find it, try to download it another time.

I don't understand how clicking on the corresponding button, it doesn't shows or hides the Notes and Feeds skins...
- Have you edited in any way the skins?
- Do these skins appear when you start your computer?
(by default they're always visible when you start your computer)

Hello,
I love your Rainmeter, I have a question to ask you. The skins are too big for my laptop with a resolution of 1366x768. How I can make to reduce the size of skins so that it fits well in my laptop.
Thx you

Fonpaolo In reply to loicvazquez2102 [2017-08-20 19:46:26 +0000 UTC]
Well... I'm sorry, but I have to tell you that there's no easy way to resize the skins, at least as they're structured now.
You have to edit all the images, the text height, the various lines, bars, histograms and all their positions, in short, everything.
Depending what skin(s) you want to resize, if they don't use buttons or bars, you can, at least, modify the size of the images adding W or H and finding the correct width or height.
Remember to add AntiAlias=1 to every image you modify, to prevent blur or distortions (this could use more system resources), but the rest, as I said, has to be modified by hand.

Fonpaolo In reply to jeje10FR [2017-08-20 19:56:42 +0000 UTC]
To change the color, you have to edit some images, but also add (or edit) the colors used for some texts, bars, lines and so on.
The folder containing the images is in C:\Users\*your user name*\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Avengers\@Resouces\Images.
There are many sub folders, called as the skins they refer to.

So, me being the kind of person who messes around with things, I messed something up. In the Large Launchers option menu, I changed the thing that disables the first launcher to 2. It isn't letting me change it to anything else, and I have no idea how to change it in the config txt. How do I change it back to 2?

Fonpaolo In reply to GlitchDoubt [2017-02-26 22:20:07 +0000 UTC]
Click the "OP" icon at the left of the nine small launchers on top of your desktop, click the last label on the left bottom of the window opened "Other", then click on the label "Feeds-Weather".
In your browser, open www.weather.com and type your city, in the input box on top right, the page will redirect to your city, it will appear as "weather.com/weather/today/l/XX… ;
Where "XXXX" are four letters, "NNNN" are four numbers, ignore the part after, select the eight digits, copy and paste in the "Location Code" of the configuration skin box, then hit Enter.

Hello,
I would like to know if it will be possible to modify the "Small Launchers 9_M" to have 18 or more instead of the 9 basic ones and that I can find it in the "Options Buttons".
Thank you

Fonpaolo In reply to loicvazquez2102 [2016-12-24 12:56:30 +0000 UTC]
Everything is doable, but requires a lot of work...
- How to do it depends mostly if you want to add to the existing skin or add as a separated skin;
- To have the Options skin with another row of settings, will require to add another "page" (or better .inc file), find the place where to put it and add all the related code to the existing .inc files to show a new page.

Hello,
I want to know if there is a possibility to change the image of the Shield Tag.
I have already tried to change this line
ButtonImage = # @ # \ Images \ Shield Tag \ Shield Button2 # Color1 # 2.png by putting my image but the image does not appear properly.
thanks for the help

Fonpaolo In reply to loicvazquez2102 [2016-12-07 22:01:36 +0000 UTC]
Just to be sure: you want to change the button, S.H.I.E.L.D. logo, with one created by you.
In this case, you must have an image, made with three juxtaposed images, with same size, with slight differences, the first one from left for "normal", in the middle for "pressed" and the last on the right for "mouse over".
The button will read the full image as subdivided in three parts, every image will be displayed depending on the mouse action.
Any other image not done in the right way, will be displayed as truncated.

Fonpaolo In reply to loicvazquez2102 [2016-12-08 12:17:33 +0000 UTC]
To have the same result, if you want to have a button, you must use the original image dimensions, you can't resize your image, adding W and/or H.
If this is your first attempt, better you first read this: Button Images .
If you have problems, let me know, I'll be glad to help, I can't assure to give you a fast reply, but I'll try.

Unsure if you still follow this, but wanted to let you know that if you decided to change the shield tag display icon to TEXT and then click the text field the numerical value comes up as "0" right about where the selected language is, but it does not affect the numerical value that is in the tag, it leads to a drive. Unsure which. I had to go thru the config.inc under resources folder to be able to edit the numerical value in the tag itself. Figured Id let you know. Im still a novice at these things but if I notice something I try and let the author know. Nice skin.
