LIM!T clock moving and issues with mouse over effects

Post by DarthSchrute »

Hello,

I have a couple issues, one with LIM!T's clock and the other with mouse over effects using the Honeycomb launchers.

1. I downloaded LIM!T from the Deviant Art page https://injust29.deviantart.com/art/LIM-T-1-2-344112531
I have noticed that as the time changes, the clock will move. I think this is due to the spacing for each number being inconsistent (a 1 takes up less space than a 2). Is there a known fix to this to keep the clock in place? I was thinking to try and have 4 spaces of set width for each number so that it won't shift when time changes, but I am pretty new to rainmeter and so don't know how. To help show the issue, I have taken a screenshot.

2. If you looked at the screenshot for my first issue you will see that my wallpaper is a big red moon. My idea for the mouse over effects is for this moon to change when I mouse over an icon. Specifically, when I mouse over the Steam launcher, I would like the moon to change to the Steam logo. To do this I have created new images for each launcher and followed this tutorial.

Everything has worked fine except for when I mouse over the icon, the new image is not the correct size, and so it is clear a new image is appearing instead of just the moon changing. I have tried the following code to get the image to be the monitor's resolution, but it is still not working properly. Is there a known way to get the images to align so that it works how I intend?

Code: Select all

Meter=Image

H=#SCREENAREAHEIGHT#

Here is a gif of the issue to help illustrate. The moon seems to shrink in size.

Sorry for the late reply...

#1 :: I would suggest using a mono-spaced font to eliminate the movement.

#2 :: Edit your wallpaper image and overlay images and resize them all to your screen resolution. What you are seeing is the result of Windows scaling your wallpaper based on Fit, Fill, Stretch, Span, Tile, or Center, but your overlay is not being scaled. After resizing your images, I would use "Tile" effect. If all your images (wallpaper and overlays) are the same resolution, they should overlay without any shift.
