Bangs

The Rainmeter can be controlled also with Litestep !Bang-commands. A bang is a special command that can be executed to change something in the application. You can use the bangs in the various actions that Rainmeter has or just run one from command line by giving it to argiument for Rainmeter.exe. Naturally you can use these from Litestep too.

Note that the [] means that you must supply the argument for the bang (do not include the []-chars). The () mean that the argument is no necessary.
