Like jsmorley and balala mentioned, even if it's a "start menu meter", it doesn't make sense to deactivate the entire skin. I suspect that you have this search box in your skin, and some other area with other meters or even another skin (i.e. the submenu or the search results list) that you want to hide or deactivate when the mouse leaves the search box and maybe the start button areas.this isn't a background meter, it's a start menu meter
Apart from other specific details and complexities of the skin suite you're trying to modify (MD3-Windows), you might want to consider:
- if your "submenu" is made of meters that are part of the current skin, attach your MouseOverAction and MouseLeaveAction to one of your search related meters (e.g. [SearchText] or some other) instead of to the [Rainmeter] section, then use !HideMeter / !ShowMeter to hide or show those submenu meters:

- if your "submenu" is another skin, keep your MouseOverAction and MouseLeaveAction in the [Rainmeter] section of the current skin, but !DeactivateConfig / !ActivateConfig the said submenu skin, and not the current one:
