Floating Hex

Description

A quick skin someone suggested I make, I tossed it together in about 20 minutes using code blocks from Hexagonads 2.0

The skin creates a single hexagon shaped button you can customize as you like, it has all the same features as a button in Hexagonads 2.0 (see the link above for setup instructions)

I won't go in to detail about the settings here & now, but ere are some key points:

1) the button won't do anything unless you remove some semi-colons from the [hexagon] section of the .ini file, i did this so you can drag the hexagon around while setting it up.

2) to make multiple hexagons on your screen, you will need to have multiple copies of the skin. open you skins folder, select the Floating hex folder and hit copy, the paste as many copies as you would like, refresh rainmeter, load them, and right-click > edit skin to begin configuring the skin.

As always, feel free to ask me any question about the skin, I'll do my best to give a helpful answer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: there is an error in my original code for this.

I originally made this skin by cutting chunks out of my Hexagonads launcher skin, which has many different Path and Tip variables, while making this skin I forgot to adjust the names of the variables appropriately.

To make the skin work you will need to either rename the variables Path and Tip to Path1,1 and Tip1,1  or replace all instances of #Path1,1# and #Tip1,1# with #Path# and #Tip#

I don't want to repackage the skin to fix this right now, so I leave it up to you to fix it, sorry for the inconvenience.
