Configuration

Switching Between White and Dark Modes

Modern Volbrig supports both white and dark themes. You can switch between these modes using the built-in toggle button.

• To Switch Modes:
  • Click the toggle button on the skin to switch between white and dark modes. This button is located in the top right corner of the skin and is labeled with an icon that resembles a sun/moon.

Customizing the Skin

You can customize various aspects of the Modern Volbrig skin to fit your preferences.

1. Adjusting Volume and Brightness:

   • The volume and brightness controls can be configured through the skin's ModernVolbrig.ini file. To adjust the settings, open the file in a text editor and modify the relevant sections.

2. Changing Colors and Transparency:

   • The skin uses semi-transparent backgrounds to achieve the frosted glass effect. You can adjust the transparency and color settings by modifying the Color and Alpha parameters in the Main.ini file.

3. Adding Custom Icons:

   • You can replace the default icons used for volume and brightness controls by placing your own images in the skin's folder and updating the ImageName parameters in the ModernVolbrig.ini file.

Troubleshooting

• Volume or Brightness Controls Not Working:

  • Ensure that you have the necessary plugins or external scripts installed for controlling volume and brightness. Rainmeter alone may not handle these functions without additional support.

• Skin Not Appearing:

  • Verify that the skin files are located in the correct directory (Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\ModernVolbrig) and that Rainmeter is properly installed and running.

• Issues with White and Dark Modes:

  • If the mode toggle button is not functioning correctly, check the ModernVolbrig.ini file for any errors in the configuration. Make sure that the LeftMouseUpAction is correctly set to switch between themes.
