Request 11 - Lovestruck - Skin #29

Requested by Reddit user u/Teutobod

Rainmeter skin I designed to play animations on desktops. While not a true .gif file, it plays individual frames from animations. Can be modified to fit any animation desired.

Features include animation upon hovering, dragability, transparency, sustained animation after clicking, topmost over windows after clicking, .mp3 support after clicking (requires PlayMP3 plugin), and general awesomeness.

I coded the skin with easy to modify variables to change certain functions such as size and looping behavior. More detailed descriptions can be found within the skin itself. Simply right click my shell, click edit, and modify to your hearts content. The shell should install to "C:/Users/____/Documents/Rainmeter/Skins/XiphosSmith/Gifs/I Scream(Req. 9, #27)".

The program used is a wonderful desktop customization tool called Rainmeter, which can be found here:
rainmeter.net/cms/

In order to play .mp3 files, the PlayMP3 plugin must be installed and a direct link to the file must be written into the skin. Simply replace the dummy variable in "MP3". The plugin can be downloaded here:

Unzip Playmp3 and copy the folder to Rainmeter's addons path. Do this by opening an explorer window, clicking the empty space in the address bar, and typing %appdata%. Then follow Roaming/Rainmeter/Addons
