I just reinstalled Rainmeter after a heavy computer crash, and first I gotta say, it's still awesome :mrgreen:
I saw that the tray icon is a CPU meter now, but that just doesn't fit with Windows' own taskmanager next to it.
Wouldn't it be better if there was an option to decide what icon to use?
(Raindrop icon, CPU meter, own icon - please name the path,)

Re: Customizable Tray Icon?
But altering this .dll is way too difficult if you want to change the icons just for the sake of changing them.
Re: Customizable Tray Icon?
Just offered up as a quick solution

Just remove the [TrayMeasure] section from Rainmeter.ini and it will return to the normal "raindrop" icon.Samus Aran wrote:I just reinstalled Rainmeter after a heavy computer crash, and first I gotta say, it's still awesome :mrgreen:

Re: Customizable Tray Icon?
Maybe you can use something from Custom TrayMeter Pack #1 and/or Pack #2? They can be found at Kenz0's siteSamus Aran wrote:I just reinstalled Rainmeter after a heavy computer crash, and first I gotta say, it's still awesome :mrgreen:

Probably this is the most concise solution to display a specific image.Samus Aran wrote:I just reinstalled Rainmeter after a heavy computer crash, and first I gotta say, it's still awesome :mrgreen:

Add this code to your Rainmeter.ini.
Code: Select all
[TrayMeasure]
Measure=calc
TrayMeter=BITMAP
TrayBitmap="ImagePath"
You can use not only ICO but also BMP, GIF, PNG...etc (But it is only ICO that the alpha channel works normally.)
The size of the image should be 16x16. If larger than it, the image will automatically cropped from the upper left.
Note:
Since BITMAP needs the value of a some Measure, Measure is not omissible. If Measure is omitted, Traymeter will crash.
Well, if CALC does not get a value, it is Measure which nothing carries out. It only returns nothing but 0. Then, if this is used, the first frame can be specified at any time.
(When BITMAP is used even in case of the image without the frame, it needs to define a something frame number.)

This is a very clear and well written explanation kenz0, can you add it to RainWiki?kenz0 wrote: Probably this is the most concise solution to display a specific image.
