Help Set random position to skin

[maxwell1]

Hi, as titled I wanted to know if there was a way to set a random position to a skin.
Like for example, I have a floating gif as a skin and I would like it to change position every 10 second or so.
(I really don't know anything about programming so thank you in advance !)

Have a good day

For first, Rainmeter is not a programming language. We don't programming.
Anyway, here is a solution: add the following measures to your code:

Code: Select all

[MeasureX]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Random
LowBound=0
HighBound=(#SCREENAREAWIDTH#-#CURRENTCONFIGWIDTH#)
UpdateRandom=1
UpdateDivider=-1
DynamicVariables=1
Group=Position

[MeasureY]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Random
LowBound=0
HighBound=(#SCREENAREAHEIGHT#-#CURRENTCONFIGHEIGHT#)
UpdateRandom=1
UpdateDivider=-1
DynamicVariables=1
Group=Position

[MeasureTimer]
Measure=Calc
Formula=( COUNTER % 10 )
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#=0)
IfTrueAction=[!UpdateMeasureGroup "Position"][!Move "[MeasureX]" "[MeasureY]"]

[MeasureTimer] counts up to 9, then it jumps to 0. In this moment, the !UpdateMeasureGroup bang update the [MeasureX] and [MeasureY] measures, which due to the used Random functions get new random values. These values are set in a way to keep the skin on screen (I added these even if by default the skins anyway aren't going outside of the screen, due to the "Keep on screen" setting, available through right click).
When the measures are updated, the !Move bang moves the skin to the position established by the new measure values.
