["URL TO WEBSITE"]
[WINDOWS COMMAND TO RUN]You can run multiple actions at once
["PATH TO 1st FILE"]["PATH TO 2nd FILE"]["PATH TO 3rd FILE"]Known issue. If this happens, click on the actions page and try again.
The original color picker had been removed due to being flagged as a malicous executable by Windows defender. An alternative will be added soon.
TLDR: No support yet
Core supported multi-language before, but I've removed it for now since it is impossible to get accurate translations for each version of core. Support for multiple languages will be added after the upcoming Difia update!
Follow through video guide:
JaxCore currently does not function properly for 32-bit Window installations. Stay tuned for updates on this issue.
There are missing dependencies on your system.
Download the and install it. Run with administrator priviledges if it fails to install.
Download the Visual C++ Redistributable for your system: |
Launch JaxCore again. If it still doesn't load, try restarting your device.
While downloading the .bat installation file for JaxCore, most, if not all, browsers may flag the .bat file as malicious and prevent you from downloading it. This false positive occurs because JaxCore's website is an “unknown provider” as per the browser and thus, the file is deemed insecure or unsafe.
Make sure you've activated the module
If changing the volume still shows the default volume flyout, turn on options under JaxCore -> YourFlyouts -> General -> Category: Compatability
By default, ValliStart opens the search menu by Win + S. Make sure this hotkey functions properly in your system. If not, change it to something that opens your search / launcher.
Yes. Change ValliStart -> General -> Setting: Key to run after key input is captured to the hotkey which you launch your launcher.
Refer here.
Change the scale option.
You may also encounter a similar problem when attempting to run the file after it has been downloaded. Windows Smart Screen prevents you from running the file and attempts to warn you that it may be unsafe. The reason is the same as before: The file was obtained from an unknown source.
However, you can rest assured that the .bat file is completely safe.
The installation package may trigger a false positive alert in your antivirus program. This is due to the .exe files stored in the package, which is required to automate parts of the program. The program being flagged is usually done through heuristic analysis, not via a database of known viruses. That means that the antivirus program thinks that due to the nature of the code in this application, it likely may be a virus, a program that the user does not really mean to run.
Also, the source code is always available here, so you have all the tools necessary to make an informed decision.
Some antivirus software may occasionally flag JaxCore's files as malware, resulting in those files being quarantined the majority of the time. But, like the previous false positives, this one is also a false positive. What actually happens is that the antivirus flags the powershell processes that JaxCore requires to function properly, resulting in false positives. However, regardless of the warning or the cause of the false positive, all of JaxCore's files and JaxCore are completely safe.

Download JaxCore from our website
Select option 3 when the powershell prompt asks for an installation preferences. Then choose a folder once prompted. It is recommended to choose an empty folder as the installer creates 2 folders in the selected directory. If the installer is stuck after clicking OK, press enter.
Run the following command in Powershell, replacing <LOC> with the absolute path to the folder you want JaxCore installed in, and this folder should contain the Rainmeter folder that you have installed to before.
This happens because your anti-virus prevented the Powershell instance to launch. To fix this, exclude the following paths in your anti-virus.
Save your configuration in your anti-virus and restart.

You can fix this by using Auto method for your modules instead (See below)
There is no setup needed by default. Everything should work out of the box
Users can choose to use Auto method to fully support certain media players.

This issue mainly happens when a part of MetroUI (e.g. Default start menu / taskbar calendar) is active, preventing JaxCore from taking focus from these UI features. It might also happen when simply trying to load core using a desktop icon.
To fix this issue, load JaxCore using Right click --> Configure in core --> Home instead of using the Taskbar icon, and simply try to avoid launching core modules when a part of metro UI is active. When that happens, simply click on the desktop.
