New Padding option

Post by jsmorley »

We have added a new Padding option to meters.

It will allow you to add any number of pixels of "padding" to a meter. The meter W and H will adjust automatically to reflect the new size with the padding.

The format is: Padding=Left,Top,Right,Bottom.

This can be used to add space around meters for formatting purposes.

Examples:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
DynamicWindowSize=1

[MeterNoPadding]
Meter=String
FontSize=13
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=0,0,0,255
AntiAlias=1
Text=W: [MeterNoPadding:W] H: [MeterNoPadding:H]
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterPadding]
Meter=String
Y=5R
FontSize=13
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=0,0,0,255
Padding=10,10,10,10
AntiAlias=1
Text=W: [MeterPadding:W] H: [MeterPadding:H]
DynamicVariables=1
