menu.ini

		
;		* ___ Requirements ___

;		Windows 10 (1903 and up)
;		OBS (25.0.0 and up)
		

;		* ___ How do I use this? ___

;		1. Click on the Skin Config Names from the list to prepare it for OBS, the selection should turn red
;		2. Go on OBS, create a new Window Capture
;		( If you don't have any other window OBS can attach to, you won't be able to change anythig, this is an OBS bug,
;		just open any window, Notepad or calculator should suffice )
;		3. Select Capture Method, change it from "Automatic" to "Windows 10 (1903 and up)"
;		4. Select Window, chose the Rainmeter window(s) you prepared
;		5. (Optional, Recommended) Untick Capture Cursor


;		* ___ Why does this work? ___

;		OBS has been coded so Windows™ windows that have the WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW Extended Window Style (confusing, don’t ask)
;		don’t appear in the list of windows you can capture when set to Automatic, presumably this has been done because windows
;		that use that extended style are usually overlays or windows that assist in other aspects, stuff you probably wouldn’t want to capture.
;		While set on Automatic, the windows will be complete black, this is probably because it uses BitWit (Win 7), which dosen't support
;		capturing windows with this Extended Window Style, Windows 10 however does, and it's the only reason the trick works.

;		Rainmeter uses the WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW Extended Window Style to hide its skins from ALT+TAB/WIN+TAB, if you do
;		the commands right now, you will see all the Rainmeter windows you selected in the skin and OBS will be in the Task Switcher.

;		Pretty cool right?

;		A side effect of this is that Rainmeter windows will be in other apps for capture too, like Discord.
;		Anyways, to remove the style from Rainmeter’s windows I used an AHK script, the code pasted below

;		for a, b in A_Args {
;		WinSet, ExStyle, -0x80, %b%
;		}

;		I copy pasted it off the AHK Documentation and I didn’t read the rest, I don’t even know what the first “a” dose,
;		“b” is the important parameter that is parsed though. Because the last parameter on WinSet accepts windows titles 
;		(the ones when you ALT+TAB, e.g. menu.ini - Notepad) and because Rainmeter’s window titles are
;		their file name (because of these lines of code https://github.com/rainmeter/rainmeter/blob/master/Library/Skin.cpp#L272-L276 ),
;		what this skin does is just execute a bang formatted like
;		[“ExStyleRemove.exe” “G:\Rainmeter\Skins\RM-in-OBS\menu.ini”]
;		which AHK executes to remove the Extended Style.

;		The capturing method that was introduced in Windows 10 is used in Microsoft Teams and several other apps,
;		you can also hide Rainmeter Windows from Share Screen! You need to toggle on WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE, however
;		Googling how to do that in AHK lead me to no result and I wouldn't know how to do it anyways.


;		* ___ Shortcomings ___
;		1. DPI Scaling
;		2. Capture Method Yellow Border (Problem from Microsoft)
;		3. The style disappears if you restart Rainmeter (unless you make the AHK file portable, read the section below)
;		4. Because I didn't make the WinSet a toggle (because I don't wanna code the toggle, as it's already hard to keep track of
;		skins that may have had the style applies, and because i literally don't know how), I only made the skin remove
;		the Extended Style, to make them no longer be captured by OBS, unload and load the skins to completly kill the process
;		that hosted the window, this can be easily fixed by someone with patience though, which is not me
;		5. The skin probably dosen't work for people who have Unicode characters in their Windows username, as it uses LUA to generate files,
;		the problem can be solved again by going portable
;		6. Random Crashes (Problem from OBS, I don't blame them)


;		* ___ Portable ___
;		If you wanna remove the Extended Style of any window when a skin loads, all you need to do is include the bang below in
;		a .ini/skin, copy pasting the line below should do it (if you know what you're doing, put it where you need though)

;		OnRefreshAction=["#SKINSPATH#\RM-in-OBS\@Resources\ExStyleRemove.exe" "#CURRENTPATH##CURRENTFILE#"]


;		* ___ Other things ____

;		If you got this far, *mwah*, there's stuff you can change in [Variables] to make some elements in the skin to your liking

;		The skin is janky because I had a really hard time with meters and the list, I found that using JSMorley's ConfigActive
;		I am able to return the number of loaded configs, from that, I just created a script that returns the Config, the skin file
;		and a String section with the Mouse Action too.

;		To remove the fade, remove [!Hide] and [!ShowFade] from [Rainmeter]'s OnRefreshAction, you'll see why it's there though

;		* ___ Credits ____

;		"JSMorley" for his "ConfigActive" plugin, which is the main skeleton of the skin
;		"icons8.com" for the refresh and note icon
