Skin for kitchen center

Post by troyer »

Hi,
I have old laptop with 2GBRAM and Win7 and I want to do a kitchen center from this laptop. I need Rainmeter skin (dashboard) like this Image

Could I make Rainmeter skin similar on image and so as do what I want, need? Thank you very much for any information.

Not sure what those Recipes, WEB, Shopping basket and so on, should do? What's your intention with them?

I thinking... When I click to:
Recipes then open folder with recipes in pdf, doc, docx, etc.
Web - open a browser
Calc - open calc
Shopping basket - open app or software where I could write, read and edit item for shopping (for example: eggs, milk, etc.)
Could I do it in a rainmeter?

Also possible.

Well, this is a little bit harder, because I don't see what would you like here. Did you think to an online store or something where you can buy things? Not clear yet...

I won't work with this right now, because here is almost midnight, but if you need, tomorrow I'll try to help you making the code as you want.

Ok, I worked a little bit with this project, attached you can find what I got.
Note the followings: for now I added only the Time/date and the Remainder skins. Others later.
The package has a Remaind.inc file included into the @Resources folder. There are saved the events which will be shown by the skin. I added the two posted by you, but you can add further ones, if needed. For now only up to five events can be added, but this number can be easily extended, if needed.
Please try out this skin and let me know what you think about it. Does it look like what you wanted?

balala thank you very much for your quick reply
I would need it on the screen 1200 x 800 so it should be a bigger, but otherwise OK. I work on a project where is connect the IR touch frame so I don't know if rainmeter is good for it.
For example: I want to change a time so I click on frame of time and there it can change or if i want to add or edit reminders (like google calendar) then will do it, but if it just shows then it is bad an alternative for me.

This code has a Scale variable in the [Variables] section. This variable controls the size of the visual elements of skin. Its value is set initially to 1. You can manually replace it with any larger value then 1, resizing this way the skin. Please let me know what is its ideal value for you.
We'll work with the other questions later.

Ok, good. Stay tuned for next step, using this setting.
