Python Package
Originally, this was written as a pure Python executable script. After migrating the code base to Rust, the Python package is still maintained as an FFI binding.
pip install rmskin-builder
rmskin-builder.exe --help
Rust package
A Rust crate is published to take advantage of cargo-binstall for easily installing a portable binary executable.
cargo binstall rmskin-builder
rmskin-build --help
Input/CLI options
| Option | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
path |
Base directory of repo being packaged. Defaults to current working path. | no |
dir-out |
Path to save generated rmskin package. Defaults to current working path. This can also be specified using dir_out for backward compatibility. |
no |
version |
Version of the Rainmeter rmskin package. Defaults to last 7 digits of SHA from commit or ref/tags or otherwise x0x.y0y. |
no |
title |
Name of the Rainmeter rmskin package. Defaults to name of repository or otherwise the last directory name in the path option. |
no |
author |
Account Username maintaining the rmskin package. Defaults to Username that triggered the action or the git config user.name; Unknown when all else fails. |
no |
[!NOTE] You can use your project's
RMSKIN.inifile to override any above inputs exceptdir-outandpath.
The above arguments are also used as CLI arguments
but remember to prepend -- to option's name (eg path becomes --path).
Output Variables
arc-name: The name of the generated rmskin file saved in the path specified bydir_outinput argument.arc_name: The same asarc-nameoutput value. This output variable only exists for backward compatibility.
When not executed in a Github Actions workflow, then this output variable will printed to
stdout as Archive name: **.rmskin.
Ideal Package Structure
Ideally, the package directory (located at path input value) can have the following files/folders:
| Name | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
Skins |
A folder to contain all necessary Rainmeter skins. | yes |
RMSKIN.ini |
list of options specific to installing the skin(s). | yes |
RMSKIN.bmp |
A brand/logo image displayed in the Rainmeter installer. | no |
Layouts |
A folder that contains Rainmeter layout files. | no |
Plugins |
A folder that contains Rainmeter plugins. | no |
@Vault |
A resources folder accessible by all installed skins. | no |
[!TIP] A cookiecutter repository has also been created to facilitate development of Rainmeter skins on Github quickly.
