WebViewStatus - Rainmeter Plugin

WebViewStatus is a Rainmeter plugin that checks whether WebView2 Runtime is installed on your system. It looks for WebView2's presence by checking the Windows registry for specific registry entries associated with WebView2. This plugin provides an easy way to display the installation status of WebView2 Runtime in your Rainmeter skins.

Features

• Checks if WebView2 Runtime is installed by inspecting the Windows registry.
• Returns 1 if WebView2 Runtime is installed and 0 if it is not installed.
• Easy integration into Rainmeter skins with a simple measure.

Installation

1. Download the latest release of WebViewStatus from the Releases page.

2. Install the plugin by copying WebViewStatus.dll into your Rainmeter Plugins directory:

   • The default path is:
     C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Documents\Rainmeter\Plugins\

3. After installation, you can use the plugin in your Rainmeter skins.

Usage

1. Create a Measure in your Rainmeter skin

In your .ini skin file, define a measure that uses the WebViewStatus plugin.

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
BackgroundMode=2
SolidColor=FFFFFF

[mWebView2]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebViewStatus
Type=WebView2

[Text]
Meter=STRING
MeasureName=mWebView2
X=5
Y=35
W=200
H=70
FontColor=000000
stringAlign = LeftCenter
Antialias=1
FontSize=12
FontFace=Arial
Text="WebView2 Installed: %1"

In this example:

• %1 will display 1 if WebView2 Runtime is installed, or 0 if it is not.

Parameters

• None: This plugin doesn't require any additional parameters in the .ini skin file.

Troubleshooting

• WebView2 Runtime Not Found: If the plugin returns 0 and you are sure WebView2 Runtime is installed, ensure the registry entries are correct and WebView2 is properly installed.
• File Not Found: The plugin checks registry paths related to WebView2 Runtime. If WebView2 is installed but not detected, verify the registry keys used by the plugin match your installation.
