I installed Rainmeter on my computer but when I press Wind+D to see my desktop it also minimizes rainmeter

Is there a way to make it ignore the Show Desktop command

Thanks in advance

Pop over to the Rainmeter [forum] and ask there. I'm sure they'll be able to help you

End of quote

Right click on rainmeter, skin menu, position, set to on desktop. if you want to leave it at normal level use winkey+m to minimize all windows, and shift win+m to restore windows. Win+D and show desktop does not minimize windows, it draws your desktop level over open windows.

Note: if you have anything running that is not at desktop level, as myself, IconX, when you minimize windows you will not see rainmeter as you will not be at desktop level.
