Adding Icon

You can use this template below or copy-paste from existing entries in Icons.ini:

[ICON_NAME]
Meter=Image
W=#IconSize#
H=#IconSize#
X=#BasePosition#
Y=(#BasePosition# + #IconDistance# * X)
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
ImageName=assets/ICON_IMAGE.png
LeftMouseUpAction=["C:\Program Files\SOMETHING\SOMETHING.exe"]

Replace the X with (icon position - 1). So if it's your 6th icon in the entries, the X would be 5.

Replace ICON_NAME, ICON_IMAGE.png and Target PATH accordingly.

All the icons are placed under Verticons/Icons/assets.

Variables

IconSize => Icon size in pixel.

IconDistance => Distance between icons in pixel.

Icon Transparency

I don't want to set the transpareancy in the Meter, you can adjust it manually, e.g.: Settings > Transparency > 30%.

Where to Get More Icons?

You can use your favorite icon packs, but in this skin I'm using the icons from https://remixicon.com/.

If you need white colored icons, you can download and edit (invert) it by yourself in an image editor like GIMP.

Horizontal Version?

You can just swap the X and Y of each entries, e.g.:

[Icon]
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
X=#BasePosition#
Y=(#BasePosition# + #IconDistance# * 3)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

to:

[Icon]
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
X=(#BasePosition# + #IconDistance# * 3)
Y=#BasePosition#
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
