Days Since

Post by Cakecheese »

Hi guys,

Still getting used to Rainmeter, enough to customize things to my liking and have a bit of a fiddle, but still far from writing from scratch.

I've been trying to put together a 'Days Since' counter.

There are lots of countdown skins, but I can't seem to find anything that counts up.

Was also hoping to set it so that clicking it would reset to counting from current date/time - again, something I've seen, but not been able to replicate.

Cheers

I was looking for something that would more specifically count the number of days.

I boot my laptop down a lot, so a stopwatch style meter wouldn't really provide a long term measure as it would have to be restarted each time.

I found something similar on r/rainmeter but unfortunately the DL link is dead:

Thank you very much, sir! This is exactly what I wanted. I failed to realize the seconds were from a single day. Thank you, really!

Is there any way to make this that it doesn't only shows the days but instead it shows Days Hours:Minutes:Seconds?
