help substituting words or letters for images.

[Agelyk]

I would like to replace some text with a specific image. For example in the "CLOCK", when the text AM or PM is replaced by an image instead of the text respectively.
Or replace the climate temperature numbers with some image.
This is possible? , Thanks in advance.

Probably it is:

Code: Select all

[MeasureAMPM]
Measure=Time
Format=%p
Substitute="AM":"#@#ImageForAM.png","PM":"#@#ImageForPM.png"

[MeterImage]
Meter=Image
MeasureName=MeasureAMPM

[MeterImage] will show up either the ImageForAM.png, or the ImageForPM.png image.

Hi,
I try to replace the text with an image but it does not work.
What is wrong ?

Code: Select all

[MeasureMoonPhase]
Measure=WebParser

Nothing. The requested substitution is made. If the Moon phase is "Waxing Crescent" this is substituted by #@#Moon\1.png. The [MeterMoonImage] Image meter shows up this image, IF IT EXISTS into the Moon folder within the @Resources folder. Make sure you have that image there.

There is the image, but it is not displayed .

It definitely is. But its position makes it invisible, because the image is set up by the value returned by a WebParser measure. In the very first moment when the skin is refreshed the Image meter doesn't have yet an image to show. When the WebParser measure gets its value, the Image meter shows up the appropriate image, but this is outside of the skin's initial surface and that's why it's not visible.
To fix just add a DynamicWindowSize=1 option to the [Rainmeter] section.

Now is displayed!
Thank you very much !

You're welcome.
The missing DynamicWindowSize=1 option is very common mistake on skins working with WebParser measures. These skins usually require this option, because their size changes when the measures get their values.
