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/
