Post by aprengo »

I would like to write text in the background or wallpaper of my pc and remove after a predefined time.

Do you know a program for this ?

For sure it is:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
OnRefreshAction=[!UpdateMeasure "MeasureSetPos"]

[Variables]
HideAfter=15

[MeasureSetPos]
Measure=Calc
Formula=1
OnUpdateAction=[!Move "((#WORKAREAWIDTH#-#CURRENTCONFIGWIDTH#)/2)" "((#WORKAREAHEIGHT#-#CURRENTCONFIGHEIGHT#)/2)"]
DynamicVariables=1
UpdateDivider=-1

[Timer]
Measure=Calc
Formula=( Timer + 1 )
IfCondition=(Timer>=#HideAfter#)
IfTrueAction=[!HideFade "#CURRENTCONFIG#"]
IfFalseAction=[!ShowFade "#CURRENTCONFIG#"]

[MeterMessage]
Meter=STRING
X=150
Y=100
W=300
H=200
ClipString=1
FontColor=220,220,220
SolidColor=0,0,0,150
FontSize=14
FontFace=Segoe UI
StringStyle=BOLD
StringAlign=CENTERCENTER
AntiAlias=1
Text=My message.
The HideAfter variable ([Variables] section) is the number of seconds, when the skin will be hidden. Don't forget to replace in the Text option of the [MeterMessage] meter, with the needed message.
