Something like Notes, but more advanced?

Post by Mysticcal »

I'd like to have some frequent reference documentation on my background (employee extensions) commonly used things and the sort. Is there a way to set up tables in the current notes skin (any skin archetype) or is there a skin for this that may better fit my needs?

Sorry to make a thread, it was difficult to pinpoint anything specific to my situations on google / Rainmeter Forum.

What exactly is that you want?
You could very well make your own table in a note-skin.

Code: Select all

<notes>
_Employee_|_Position_
Matt      | Official bs-master
Sussi     | Programming master
jsmorley  | Janitor
</notes>
I don't think, therefore I'm not.

I guess a skin that displayed html would be perfect. But I am not sure this exists.

Correct - Rainmeter cannot handle html.

You can however make it look like a table.
If you split the notes in to three sections and display them in different meters, you can play quite a lot with it.

So you got something like
<title>Employee | Position</title>

<Employee>Fred
George
Gregory</Employee>


<Position>Boss
Janitor
Lazy cow</Position>


You then parse them all and have different stringindex for them and you are able to put them in different meters that have different settings, like bold, underline, italic and whatnot.
