Re: New here and to RainMeter
Hello,
Nice work!!
because you're new I'd suggest that you become familiar with
X=r X=R
and
Y=r Y=R
The small r means that the meter will start from the same spot that the previous meter started (The meter above in the code to be more precise)
The capital R means that the meter will start from where the previous meter ended.
This way you don't have to try numbers to find where should you meter start.
Take a look at this modification I did in your code:
Code: Select all
[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
Author=Christer(Prince of Norway)
[MeasureTime]
Measure=Time
Format=%#I:%M
[MeasureSeconds]
Measure=Time
Format=%S
[MeasureAMPM]
Measure=Time
Format=%p
[MeasureDate]
Measure=Time
Format=%#d, %B %Y
[TextStyle]
FontFace=Trebuchet MS
FontColor=255,245,207,255
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
StringStyle=Normal
StringAlign=Left
AntiAlias=1
[MeterTime]
Meter=String
MeterStyle=TextStyle
MeasureName=MeasureTime
X=0
Y=0
FontSize=40
[MeterSeconds]
Meter=String
MeterStyle=TextStyle
MeasureName=MeasureSeconds
X=R
Y=10
FontSize=15
[MeterAMPM]
Meter=String
MeterStyle=TextStyle
MeasureName=MeasureAMPM
X=r
Y=30
FontSize=15
FontColor=255,245,207,255
[MeterDate]
Meter=String
MeterStyle=TextStyle
MeasureName=MeasureDate
X=R
Y=38
FontSize=9
Rotate=90
I didn't change the Y values so that you can practice by doing the same with as I did with the X values. Go on and try replacing the numbers with r or R depending on what you want to achieve. Let me know if you need any help.

Re: New here and to RainMeter
I agree with jsmorley, it indeed looks good, especially if it's your first work with Rainmeter.
However I'd add just two details:
However I'd add just two details:
- The Author option doesn't belong anymore to [Rainmeter] section, but to [Metadata]. This isn't a big issue and doesn't prevent the skin to work, but it has to be said. Create a [Metadata] section and move the option there.
- Would be great to add an invisible background to your skins. If you don't add one, it's a bit harder to click (or right click) on it, because you have to click (right click) exactly on a digit / letter. Adding an invisible background doesn't change how the skin is looking, but you can click much easier. To add a such background, add the following two options to the [Rainmeter] section, beside the existing one / ones:
See the SolidColor option, which creates a transparent background. It is transparent, because its transparency (the last / fourth parameter) is set to 1, from 255, which is practically transparent, but reacts to mouse clicks.
Code: Select all
[Rainmeter] ... BackgroundMode=2 SolidColor=0,0,0,1

Cool
I will make some edits and reupload later. Ive been looking into MouseOverAction to create some cool effects, but seems alot more complicated than i thought

Re: New here and to RainMeter
It's not. MouseOverAction is executed when you're hovering the mouse over the meters which has set up this option (if it is added to a meter), or over the skin (if the option is set up into the [Rainmeter] section).
A MouseLeaveAction option also exists. As I think you figured out, it is executed when you're leaving the meter or the skin.
If you have any concrete question related to these options (or to any other), feel free to ask.
