LIM!T - change language in date / clock format

[seanx]

Is it possible to change the name of the month to another language in the LIM!T skin and change the 12/24 clock format?
Well thank you

You can get info about formats here:

About translating you may have to use substitutions.

Actually besides translating the month names with substitutions, better is to format the Time measure(s) which is/are returning the appropriate information to the desired language. This can be easily done on such Time measures, by simply adding a FormatLocale option, with the desired language. For instance the following option will translate the value returned by the measure to Romanian, but obviously you'll have to get the appropriate language code: FormatLocale=ro-RO. You can get this code here.
I suppose you'd like to translate the month name in the LIM!T\time\date\fill-date.ini skin. If this is right, add the above FormatLocale option to the [mMonthName] measure of the mentioned skin.

To change the format of the clock to 24-hour, replace the Format=%I option of the [mHour] measure with Format=%H in the LIM!T\time\clock\fill-clock.ini skin. Additionally if you do this, you probably will want to remove the AM/PM from the skin as well. For this you have to add a Hidden=1 option to both meters [ampmBG] and [ampmFill], of the same LIM!T\time\clock\fill-clock.ini skin.

I'm glad but question is how did you solve it, by substitution or by FormatLocale?

I used "FormatLocale = xx-XX" and "Format =% H" and everything works fine.
I still have a question. Is it possible to change the size, colors and font of the clock / date? Well thank you

It definitely is, but unfortunately right now I have no enough time. Tomorrow will do, describeing how to deal with it, especially if in meantime no one does it for you. Stay tunned.

Fine.
This can be at any time, no need to hurry.

Code: Select all

[Meter]
Meter=String
MeasureName=SomeMeasure
FontFace=Segoe UI Light
	;FontFace is the font family and typeface you want to use here, this font must be installed on your system or 
	;kept inside @Resources\Fonts folder. 
	;For example I used Segoe UI which is default for Windows and comes preinstalled.
	;Here Light is the typeface. It is more preferrable than FontWeight if your FontFamily has different typefaces like Bold, light or so. 

FontSize=14
	;FontSize is the size of the font you want.

FontColor=255,255,255,255
	;or FFFFFFFF
	;FontColor is the color of your string.
	;It may be in RGBA or HEX. 
	;**Note**: the '#' preceding HEX code must be removed.

FontWeight=400
	;FontWeight controls how thick is your font.
