[3.2] Monstercat Visualizer with dynamic color!

[liec0dez]

I made some tweaks to MarcoPixel's original Monstercat Visualizer, found here:

With this pack you are able to influence the visualizer's color by changing the release year of the song like following:

Code: Select all

Year     Monstercat Genre    Color          RGB
1900     EDM                 Grey           193,193,193
1901     Electro             Yellow         230,206,0
1902     Future Bass         Light Blue     154,152,252
1903     Trap                Dark Red       140,15,39
1904     House               Orange         234,140,0
1905     Drumstep            Pink           243,33,136
1906     Drum & Bass         Red            242,25,4
1907     Glitch Hop          Dark Green     11,151,87
1908     Nu Disco            Aqua           28,171,179
1909     Hard Dance          Green          1,151,0
1910     Trance              Blue           0,126,231
1911     Dubstep             Magenta        141,4,225

So if you have a Dubstep song, change it's year to 1911 and the visualizer will recognize.
You can change all colors in the variables.ini for costumization.

Step 1:
Download and install the .rmskin file from here:

Step 2:
Take some minutes to customize the color for each of your songs :)

Thanks to balala and fanpaolo for helping me to solve issues in the process^^
Feedback is welcome (however, this is my first ever Rainmeter project :P)

We we prefer that all skins here be in the .rmskin format, not a .zip file that has to be manually installed. Aside from the relative simplicity for the end-user, there are security issues with propagating Rainmeter skins as .zip, which won't have the protections against modifications by bad actors that .rmskin has.

If you want to have your skin be an "upgrade/patch" to an existing skin, that can also be done:

No hair-on-fire rush, but please create a .rmskin of your creation and replace the .zip in this post.

I tried, but the .rmskin file is 1,52 MB large which is too big to upload here... gives me a "413 Request Entity Too Large" Error :(

You may want to post your .rmskin on deviantART then, and just post a link to it here. Be sure you give proper credit on deviantART if your work is a derivative of other's.

If you would rather not do deviantART, you could always just host the .rmskin file on some file hosting site (or stick it in your DropBox, Google Drive or Windows OneDrive) and post a link here.

Now, that I see your release, it is an interesting idea! Congratulations for both: the idea of a this kind of skin, and the realisation, which also is great! I'm also happy if my posts helped you in your work.
So, once again congratulations and keep your way!
