Hey everyone, just found a lovely solution through Google Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental. Made this account just to post the solution so I hope it helps some people out!
1. So first you'd wanna install AutoHotkey - https://www.autohotkey.com/ to create a custom script that allows Windows to ignore the Rainmeter windows when invoking the Win + D command.
2. Create a new .txt file anywhere and paste the following command in it:3. Save this file and change its extension from txt to ahk, example: "RainmeterNoMinimize.ahk". Now run the file and confirm if win + D still minimizes the widgets or not.
4. Put the .ahk script in the Startup folder (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup) so it runs automatically on Startup.
Oops! You're right. Just tinkered a bit more with gemini and the code below seems to work perfectly now.)But with this, WIN-D is no longer a "toggle", it just minimizes everything except Rainmeter, but doesn't restore on a subsequent WIN-D.
This more or less makes WIN-D more like WIN-M, which doesn't really help.
