Welcome back!balala wrote:Sorry for being too late, just came back from my holiday.
I'm not sure I understood what you would like. You would like it to start as now, but on the left edge to not enter "below" the yellow frame?
If you're still interested, please give us (me) a few details.
Probably you should have to use another value for the SkinWidth variable ([Variables] section). SkinWidth=200 seems a proper value, but you have to decide.xenium wrote:I would like, if possible, that the text should start moving from the white vertical line to the left edge.
It would have been great if the text did not appear suddenly.balala wrote:Probably you should have to use another value for the SkinWidth variable ([Variables] section). SkinWidth=200 seems a proper value, but you have to decide.
Anyway, modifying this variable will require to set explicitly the width of the skin, into the [Rainmeter] section: SkinWidth=300 (instead of SkinWidth=#SkinWidth#).
One single problem I see here: when the string appears it is not revealed step by step, it appears suddenly. For now, no good idea how to deal this...
And another, not extremely important thing I saw in your code: the Author option doesn't belong anymore to the [Rainmeter] section, but to [Metadata]. Once it belonged there, but in the meantime it was deprecated into the [Rainmeter] section and transferred to [Metadata].
I don't see a good and simple way to do this. If the string would be an image a properly created ImageCrop option could help, but with the strings:xenium wrote:It would have been great if the text did not appear suddenly.
Use the X position value to control the alpha value of the text meter. I subtract the value of the X position that is close to where the text meets your line, then multiple that value by 6 to quickly increase the font alpha toward 255. The clamp formula keeps it at 255 (full visibility). I changed the shadow to an inlinesetting because the StringEffect approach will create a shadow even if the alpha is zero, while the inline setting works as expected.xenium wrote:It would have been great if the text did not appear suddenly.
Anyway,thanks for the reply.

I'd modify the code in a way to make the string to be shown up letter by letter. Although this isn't exactly what would be needed, I think a such approach can somehow simulate what you want:xenium wrote:It would be good if the text is small, but if it is longer ....

- The letter which at a given moment shouldn't have to be visible are set transparent by the InlinePattern2 / InlineSetting2 options of the [MeterText] string meter.
- The InlinePattern is set dynamically by the !SetOption bangs if the IfTrueAction options of the [MeasureX] measure.
- I renounced to the transparency component of the FontColor option ((Clamp((([MeasureX:]-110)*6),0,255))) of the [MeterText] meter (added by eclectic-tech in his last post).
- I also had to renounce to the Shadow string effect on the [MeterText] meter, because at least as far as I know, the color of the shadow can't be controlled through the InlineOptions. But if the effect is kept, the shadow of the hidden letters appears.
- The newly added LetterWidth variable ([Variables] section) is the width of a letter. The problem is that at most font types, a such width differs from letter to letter. No good solution for this...
- The above code works if the shown string has up to 40 letters. If there will be more letters, further IfCondition / IfTrueAction options can be added to the [MeasureX] measure.
So the text appears as soon as the last letter disappears into the left marginbalala wrote:Probably you should have to use another value for the SkinWidth variable ([Variables] section). SkinWidth=200 seems a proper value, but you have to decide.
Anyway, modifying this variable will require to set explicitly the width of the skin, into the [Rainmeter] section: SkinWidth=300 (instead of SkinWidth=#SkinWidth#).
