Control Hub - Project Ghost

Description

System control button hub for Project Ghost.

The skin consists of six buttons and one "pin" image (see below)

I designed this to serve as a replacement for some of the clunkier elements of what remains of the windows UI on my computer, without just being a standard launcher.

While ultimately just a collection of buttons, I tried to assign each button a function rather than just connect it to a program, here's the breakdown:

-Top left button
- Left Click: Empty recycle bin without prompt.
- Right Click: Open recycle bin folder.
-Top right
- Left Click: Open start menu.
-Middle left
- Left Click: Open Rainmeter settings window.
-Middle right
- Left Click: Open windows task manager
-Bottom left
- Left Click: Open "My Computer" window
-Bottom right
- Left Click: System volume down 10%
- Left Double Click: Mute
- Right Click: Volume up 10%
(a single left OR right click will disable mute)

The circle in the middle does nothing (other than light up for aesthetics). This is the only point on the skin where you can click and drag the skin around. That is why I call it the "pin".

Now for the best feature I have added to a skin yet.

The ENTIRE skin can be resized with a single variable. Literally anyone can do it. Simply right-click on the pin and select 'Edit skin' find the section labeled [Variables], and right near the top is a clearly marked variable 'scale' simply lower this value to make the skin bigger, and raise it to make it smaller.

***********************************************

The functions I added to each button are just some things I thought would go over well with most users, and are by no means final.

If you have any suggestions for additional/different button functions I could add, they are very appreciated.

Alternatively, if you have an idea that is relatively specific to your setup, and you want help adding it to the skin, I'll do my best to help.

The wallpaper is my own creation, find it in my gallery if you like it.

The Hexagons at the bottom are another skin of mine 'Hexagonads' Launcher
