Programs to open RMSKIN file
Remember to download programs supporting RMSKIN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Rainmeter with RMSKIN files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RMSKIN file to open in the Rainmeter application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RMSKIN file with the Rainmeter application.
Step 3. Update Rainmeter to the latest version
If, however, after binding Rainmeter with Rainmeter Skin Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Rainmeter Team website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RMSKIN file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to RMSKIN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RMSKIN or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RMSKIN files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RMSKIN file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RMSKIN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Rainmeter Team
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RMSKIN files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the RMSKIN file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RMSKIN to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
