Hi everyone,
I've just discovered Rainmeter and have been searching for a 3 month calendar - present month + the next two consecutive months. Something very simple with present day highlighted and in Spanish. Does anyone know where I can find one like this?
Thanks much for your help!

Re: 3 Month Calendar
Not is Spanish, but I wrote a suite, which has a clock, a weather skin and a calendar. Not just for the current and the next two months, you can go forward and backward as you wish.

I don't think it couldn't be translated into Spanish. If you're interested, give it a try and if you like it, let me know and I'll try to translate it.

This calendar would actually work pretty good!!balala wrote:Not is Spanish, but I wrote a suite, which has a clock, a weather skin and a calendar.

Some questions... I'm a newb, is there a way to resize it on my desktop?
How difficult is the task of translating? If you'd like, I could give you all of the months and days in Spanish.
I just remembered how important it is for me to know the local holidays. Can this calendar be enabled to highlight holidays in let's say a different color? I could provide the holiday dates for you. Or is there an online site that can be tapped into for local holidays like my present weather skin does with a weather code?
Forget this question about the holidays. I was playing with the calendar a bit more and found that it is possible to customize it myself. YES!
Sorry for all of the questions. A calendar like yours with these features would make my life a lot easier!
Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Not easy at all. The image used as background should be resized, the numbers representing the days should be repositioned and so on. There's a lot of work. I'm really sorry, but I don't have enough time these days to work with this.BookWalker wrote:Some questions... I'm a newb, is there a way to resize it on my desktop?
Not needed. The skin uses Time measures, which can return the name of months in any language. The only needed is the names (in fact the abbreviations) of the days. But I'll use the Google Translate.BookWalker wrote:How difficult is the task of translating? If you'd like, I could give you all of the months and days in Spanish.
Actually these days I'm working exactly onto adding the holidays. I'd like to add all important holidays, like all Sundays, Christmas, New Year, Easter (I know Easter is always Sunday, but I'd like to indicate the second day of Easter, too). From all these, Easter being a "moving" holiday, again isn't an easy task, but I solved this, using another previous work of mine: the Easter Date.BookWalker wrote:I just remembered how important it is for me to know the local holidays.

Beside adding the events, you also can mark an event to be repeated on the same day of every year (by checking the Each year button of the Event setting dialog). Feel free to experiment and ask if you have any question about the skin.
Don't apologize, I'm glad if people are appreciating my work.BookWalker wrote:Sorry for all of the questions. A calendar like yours with these features would make my life a lot easier!

Re: 3 Month Calendar
To translate the skin, please do the followings:BookWalker wrote:How difficult is the task of translating? If you'd like, I could give you all of the months and days in Spanish.
- Open the code of the skin (right clicking the skin, then clicking the Edit skin, or, if you're using Rainmeter in Spanish, Administrador de peieles).
- When the code opens, replace the Day1 - Day7 variables in the [Variables] section with the followings (however check if I've translated them well):
(Just replace these variables and don't touch the others, leave them as they are).
Code: Select all
[Variables] ... Day1=L Day2=M Day3=M Day4=J Day5=V Day6=S Day7=D
- Add the FormatLocale=es-ES option to the [MeasureMthName] measure.

Wow that was quick! Thanks!
Sorry for not getting back to you quicker. I'm strapped to a magazine gig.
I'm using English, my native tongue. I live in South America and want the calendar in Spanish so date recognition is more automatic for me when speaking with any local clients.
Educate me. What are "time measures"?... when I have the calendar running the months are in English. My computer is set to English.balala wrote:Not needed.

Btw, watch using Google Translate if you are doing full sentences. You could end up saying something embarrassing! It basically translates word for word and misses a lot of sentence structure from one language to another. Not to mention it doesn't know local dialects.

Re: 3 Month Calendar
I'm not sure what you mean by this. What would you like to do with the months? Translate their names? But I think the skin doesn't show the names of the months, just the abbreviations (or I'm wrong? - I worked long time ago on this skin).BookWalker wrote:Where do I do the months?
Right. But for translating the names of the days, I think it's good enough.BookWalker wrote:Btw, watch using Google Translate if you are doing full sentences.

Re: 3 Month Calendar
It's a three letter abbreviation on the month display, and the full name on the day display.balala wrote:I'm not sure what you mean by this. What would you like to do with the months?

Re: 3 Month Calendar
Ok, I'm sorry, you're right. I'm using just the Month Mon.ini skin, so I forgot there are in fact six different skins and two of them show the day, two the calendar of a month and finally two, show both.BookWalker wrote:It's a three letter abbreviation on the month display, and the full name on the day display.
Easiest way to translate everything is to search through the whole code of the skin you're using and add to every time measure, a FormatLocale=es-ES option.
The Time measures are those which have a Measure=Time option.

Another newb question - I want to install this on my laptop also. Am I going to have to schedule all of the holidays for each computer? Example: sit down and do them all on my desktop, then pull out the laptop and schedule them all there... or is there an easy way and I will only have to do it once?
