Predator Clock

Post by ShadowMaelstrom »

This is a clock I made inspired by the predator glyphs from the films and games. You can adjust the opasity of the decimal numbers so that you can read them or turn them off to be like a true predator checking the time before the next hunt!

This is the first thing I have made for rainmeter please be kind!

Nice one! How long does it take before you can read the time without the decimal numbers showing in the background?

9 MB for a 17 kB script and 10 digits is grossly excessive. I got it down to 49.2 kB and attached it here

Did I mention this is the first thing I have ever made for rainmeter?

Thanks for streamlining it.

you did, and you did. I gotta keep remembering that I was a noob once too.
I was kind of stunned that an image could be 5 to 17 times larger than the absolute maximum size value needed to store the image data

if I came across too harsh I apologize
