Re: Running string
Posted: August 13th, 2015, 4:28 pm
Because the last code posted above is almost three years old and in the meantime Rainmeter got a lot of improvements (and I also accumulated a lot of experience), I totaly rebuilt the code:
This code don't need the TextWidth and SkinWidth variables, it determins them automaticaly. But now I added a Speed variable, which controls the speed of the string.
Please let me know if this code match your needs.
