Re: Adding 7 minutes to clock
Hello try this code:
Code: Select all
[MeasureTime]
Measure=Time
[MeasurePlus7Minutes]
Measure=Time
TimeStamp=([MeasureTime:TimeStamp] + 7 * 60)
Format=%H:%M
DynamicVariables=1

Re: Adding 7 minutes to clock
Thanks for your suggestion Freeraider,
I have tried to replace the section of clock.ini of illustro/clock with your code but it does not add the 7 minutes to the clock.
Am I doing something incorrectly?

Re: Adding 7 minutes to clock
Hi all. I'm in the same position as svey001, but I need to add exactly 10 hours to the clock. I tried the solution provided by FreeRaider to see if that worked in adding 7 minutes to the time, but it didn't work for me - both of the clocks (the unaltered one and the time + 7 mins one) are exactly the same. Can anyone give me some help on this?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Adding 7 minutes to clock
You have to add 10 hours (meaning 10 x 60 x 60 sec = 36000) to the TimeStamp of the appropriate Time measure. For example in FreeRaider's above code, modify the TimeStamp option of the [MeasurePlus7Minutes] measure to: TimeStamp=([MeasureTime:TimeStamp]+10*60*60)
If you can't figure out how to do this, please post the code of your skin, for specific help.

Re: Adding 7 minutes to clock
Hi balala:
Thanks for your reply.
Maybe I didn't explain the problem properly. I need to add 10 hours to the Rainmeter clock, and I thought that by modifying Freerider's code I could get what I need. I had already worked out how to do it. (And thanks for your help there!) But I wanted to test Freerider's code first, without any changes, just to see how well it works. I cut/pasted his code to my Clock.ini and reloaded it. Freerider's code is set up to display the normal (unaltered) time in the top line, and the altered (Timestamp + 7 mins) clock below it. But when I reloaded the Clock.ini file, both clocks displayed exactly the same unaltered time...in other words, it was as though the code for the additional 7 mins was being ignored. So there is no point pasting the code here - it is exactly the same as Freerider's code. I can't see why it wouldn't work.
Thanks again

Re: Adding 7 minutes to clock
What Rainmeter version are you using? It's an old one?Cntl-Alt-Delete wrote: ↑March 7th, 2019, 11:09 pm I cut/pasted his code to my Clock.ini and reloaded it.

Because FreeRaider's code works perfectly with the latest version, as you can see in the attached screenshot:
