Anyway to make a clickable progress bar?

Post by Shaka »

I made a skin for Audio playback and want to make a progress bar that not only moves for the duration but where I can click to scrub through the song.

It can be achieved using Mouse variable and CommandMeasure to the NowPlaying measure, like this;

Code: Select all

[mPlayer]
Measure=NowPlaying
PlayerName=(your player name)
PlayerType=Title

[PlaybackBarBackground]
Meter=Image
ImageName=progress.png
X=
Y=
W=
H=
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure mPlayer "SetPosition $MouseX:%$"]

Having this react to clicking is doable, as noted above, and I might suggest that mouse wheel scrolling might be a good additional behavior, maybe even a better behavior.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[MeasureValue]
Measure=Calc
Formula=0
MinValue=0
MaxValue=100

[MeterBack]
Meter=Shape
Shape=Rectangle 0,0,300,20 | StrokeWidth 0 | Fill Color 69,50,40,255
MouseScrollDownAction=[!SetOption MeasureValue Formula "Clamp([MeasureValue]+5,0,100)"][!UpdateMeasure MeasureValue][!UpdateMeter MeterBar][!Redraw]
MouseScrollUpAction=[!SetOption MeasureValue Formula "Clamp([MeasureValue]-5,0,100)"][!UpdateMeasure MeasureValue][!UpdateMeter MeterBar][!Redraw]

[MeterBar]
Meter=Bar
MeasureName=MeasureValue
W=300
H=20
BarColor=232,204,134,255
BarOrientation=Horizontal

Shape=Rectangle 0,0,300,20 | StrokeWidth 0 | Fill Color 69,50,40,255
MouseScrollDownAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasurePlayer "SetPosition +5"][!UpdateMeasure MeasurePlayer][!UpdateMeter MeterBar][!Redraw]
MouseScrollUpAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasurePlayer "SetPosition -5"][!UpdateMeasure MeasurePlayer][!UpdateMeter MeterBar][!Redraw]
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasurePlayer "SetPosition $MouseX:%$"][!UpdateMeasure MeasurePlayer][!UpdateMeter MeterBar][!Redraw]
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterBar]
