Blinking Username Meter

Post by jminternelia »

I'm trying to gave some "animation" by displaying the username in a blinking mode, but when I apply either example, the username disappears.
==========================================================================
Example 1:

[Rainmeter]
Update=500
AccurateText=1
DynamicWindowSize=1
[Metadata]
Name=ExampleMeterImage
Information=USER AND UPTIME
Version=1.0
[MeterBackground]
Meter=Image
ImageName=#@#Images\UserUptime.png
W=500

[MeasureBlink]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasureBlink = 0 ? 255 : 0

[MeterUser]
Meter=String
FontFace=earth orbiter
FontColor=151,188,196,[MeasureBlink]
FontSize=15
AntiAlias=1
X=121
Y=40
Text=%USERNAME%

You need DynamicVariables=1 on your meters.

Oh and a time machine so you can go back to 1995 and get a GeoCities account.

Glad to help. Hey, no offense meant. If you want blinking text on your screen, and want to wear your hair in a mullet and drive a Ford Pinto, more power to you. If we all liked the same thing, there would be a hell of a traffic jam...

None taken. I was just being coy. It was for another reason, but that was the easiest way for me to test it.

And, some folks like to drive a Pinto with digital dashlights, and simply shave their heads, saying their look is different.

There are many ways to be different - there is only one way to be yourself - be amazing at it

The law of averages says what it means; even if you get everything right, you will get something wrong. Therefore; self managing error trapping initiates another set of averages - amongst the errors, some of them will not be errors, instead those instances will appear to be "luck". One cannot complain of the 'appearance' of 'infinite regress of causation', even if it does not have a predictable pattern, only that it requires luck to achieve.
