Rainmeter skins that checks for app Updates.

#1 Post by sl23 »

Not sure if anyone here would be interested, but if you like to use Rainmeter, I designed a skin for it that allows checking for updates for pretty much anything. It simply detects changes on a web page.

It needs some user setting up, so isn't a one stop fix for everyone I'm afraid.
All the instructions are on the skins' download page.

Basically, you set the RegEx requirements used to search a web page. It checks for a version number and a download link. It shows a visual indication of whether the app has an update or not. The download button will download the latest version.

There is a limitation of this functionality though. It doesn't work with pages using javascript. Like some of my examples, you may be able to get only a version info or download link but not both.

Anyway, I just thought it may be useful here as many people here would need to check for apps not included with menu systems like SyMenu and PortableApps.
