    Hi so I just installed Rainmeter, but I'm very new at all this customization.

    How do I add facebook rss feeds? I have the panel up but I don't know how to configure that panel to display my facebook notifications. Btw, the manual didn't help. I went into the Rainmeter folder> skins> Gnometer> Facebook> Facebook-4.
    Then I got a command line which is VERY SCARY since I have no experience with code. I pasted the facebook URL into where the script told me to. Exactly WHAT URL should I post? Did I do it correctly?

    Same for Gmail. I looked into that script but found nothing. Do I have to enter in my email and pw somewhere? Is there a gmail rss link?

    So ya. Can someone please do a step by step way to add those rss feeds. Code/Script really scares me since I'm a noob. THanks.

    Try this:

    Open program called RainBrowser > "Browse" tab > navigate to Gnometer and load Settings.ini

    There, you should have access to input all of your username/password info and should not ever have a command prompt window appear. As far as getting the feed addresses, the online manual does show how to get the FB address:

    Oh thanks. I got it. It was really easy. The Settings menu (which I accidently closed) has all the options.
