Using Container with Roundline

Post by jsmorley »

One of the interesting things you can do with the new Container functionality in Rainmeter is to use this with the Roundline meter to give a whole new level of possible customization.

With Container, you can now use any image as a "fill" for your Roundline meter, rather than the single solid color available in the Roundline meter itself.

Note that you can use the X and / or Y options on the [MeterImage] below to move the image around inside the container, so it is positioned exactly as you like. You can use W and H to size the image as needed.

You might even use IfConditions on your measure to have the meter use different images entirely depending on where in the percentage value it is at any given time.

Code: Select all
