easy to follow step by step instructions

1. Open GIFFRAME.EXE  (download from http://www.evanolds.com/)
2. Click Open and navigate to your .gif
3. Choose Save All
	Leave the Output Names as Frame%
4. Click on the "..." then choose Make New Folder and rename it to describe your gif.
( I recommend saving it to the Desktop for now)
5. Click Ok 

Once the program finishes, you can close it.
Now you should have a folder on your desktop that has separate .png pictures. one for every frame of your .gif.

6. Open the folder with the .png files in it and create a new folder inside of it. Name it something short but descriptive (like Initials of the main folder)

7. Move all the .png files into the newly created folder.

8. Copy the Giffing ini template.ini into the first folder you created. 
9. Rename it to something descriptive.

10. Open the .ini to edit it. (explaination notes included inside the ini file)
	Update= variable indicates framerate (speed). The lower the number the faster the gif loops.
	
	FrameNum=% x   replace the x with number of frames (the number of .png files in the folder.
	
	FramesFolder=x  replace the x with the folder path. (the name of the folder with all the .png files)

11. Save the .ini

ALMOST DONE!

12. Take the whole folder from the desktop and move it to your Skins folder (by default it is Documents>Rainmeter>Skins

13. Now right click on the rainmeter icon in the taskbar and choose Refresh All. 

The folder should now be in the skins list and the skin should now be able to be added!

I have included a sample .rmskin as well so you can see how it works.

HAVE FUN!
