Bartext

[Pimguin]

Hi all,

I started to code another Rainmeter skin today and I'd like to make my text lift on top of a bar. So if the bar goes up 10 pixels the text will also go up 10 pixels. I am currently trying this for my CPU but I also want to do this with my memory and disk space.

In such cases, you have to dynamically reposition the string, on each update cycle, according to the value returned by the measure.
Take a look at the following code:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[MeasureCPU]
Measure=CPU

[MeterCPU]
MeasureName=MeasureCPU
Meter=BAR
X=0
Y=0
W=250
H=30
BarColor=185,250,160,255
SolidColor=150,150,150,255
BarOrientation=Horizontal

[MeterBackground]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=150,150,150,255
X=0R
Y=0r
W=72
H=30

[MeterCPUPercentage]
MeasureName=MeasureCPU
Meter=STRING
X=(2.5*[MeasureCPU])
Y=15r
FontColor=0,0,0
FontEffectColor=220,220,220
StringEffect=Shadow
FontSize=18
FontFace=Segoe UI
StringStyle=BOLD
StringAlign=LEFTCENTER
AntiAlias=1
Text=%1%
DynamicVariables=1

See that the horizontal position of the [MeterCPUPercentage] meter (the value of its X option) is set based on the value returned by the [MeasureCPU] measure.
This code is done just for the CPU, but the same way you can add further parameters.
