Damn, still confusing about the code, although you explained, but i still cant get the thing around it...
I would like the transparent chrome to be modify ya, and i think since the code is quite complicated, would you mind telling me which part need to change ? so that i can modify the other application to appear at the right side of the screen.
To modify the transparent Chrome, do what I did in the white Chrome (if you're comparing the original code with mine, you'll see the differences):
  • Add the following option to the [Rainmeter] section: SkinWidth=200 (Take care not to remove or modify the already existing options).
  • Optionally, if you want to move the skin to the right side of the screen, to get it sliding out from there, add the following OnRefreshAction option to the [Rainmeter] section: OnRefreshAction=[!Move "(#SCREENAREAWIDTH#-200)" "#CURRENTCONFIGY#"]. As said, if you wanna move the skin manually, this option doesn't have to be added (this is up to you).
  • Add the following [IconStyle] section to the code:

    Code: Select all

    [IconStyle]
    Group=Items
    ImageName=#@#Buttons\Transparent\Chrome.png
    H=50
    DynamicVariables=1
    MouseOverAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureSlide "Stop 1"][!CommandMeasure MeasureSlide "Execute 2"]
    MouseLeaveAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureSlide "Stop 2"][!CommandMeasure MeasureSlide "Execute 1"]
    LeftMouseDownAction=[!SetOptionGroup Items ImageAlpha "150"][!UpdateMeterGroup "Items"][!Redraw]
    LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetOptionGroup Items ImageAlpha "255"]["Chrome.exe"][!UpdateMeterGroup "Items"][!Redraw]
    RightMouseDownAction=[!Update]
  • And finally replace the existing [Chrome] option with the following two:

    Code: Select all

    [Chrome]
    Meter=Image
    MeterStyle=IconStyle
    X=(-#X1#)
    ImageCrop=600,0,200,200
    
    [ChromeName]
    Meter=Image
    MeterStyle=IconStyle
    X=0R
    Y=0r
    ImageCrop=0,0,600,200
That's all. Hope you get it working. Please let me know if and how do you.

Jason wrote: May 14th, 2020, 8:58 am In the Manage Rainmeter window, under Transparent -> Chrome.ini file, The coordiantes i set to x-axis 1316, y-axis 330. And it moved to the right, but that's a bug where i hover my mouse into the chrome icon, it will slide to the right. ( I think because the code is meant for it to be place left side of the laptop screen, not right side ). So was wondering whether is it possible to change when hover on the the chrome icon, it will slide left side <<
The original code slid right:

But the code I posted, slides left:

Do you ask how do I edit it, or how do I create it? If the second one, I'm using GifCam, but there are plenty of similar application to create such animated gifs. Just google the web a little bit to find another, if for any reason you don't like GifCam. However GifCam has the advantage of being a portable application, which means it doesn't have to be installed, just run directly when you download it.

For what it is worth, I have switched to https://www.screentogif.com/, which I find to be a tad more powerful.

No, you don't have to edit anything, just have to apply the operations I've described. But just in case, here is the whole code of the unFold\Chrome\Transparent\Chrome.ini skin, which slides the icon left:

GIF.gif

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
BackgroundMode=2
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
SkinWidth=200

[Metadata]
Name=unFold
Author=DevilRev

[Variables]
X1=-150
U=[!UpdateMeasureGroup Sliders][!UpdateMeterGroup Items][!Redraw]

[IconStyle]
Group=Items
ImageName=#@#Buttons\Transparent\Chrome.png
H=50
DynamicVariables=1
MouseOverAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureSlide "Stop 1"][!CommandMeasure MeasureSlide "Execute 2"]
MouseLeaveAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureSlide "Stop 2"][!CommandMeasure MeasureSlide "Execute 1"]
LeftMouseDownAction=[!SetOptionGroup Items ImageAlpha "150"][!UpdateMeterGroup "Items"][!Redraw]
LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetOptionGroup Items ImageAlpha "255"]["Chrome.exe"][!UpdateMeterGroup "Items"][!Redraw]
RightMouseDownAction=[!Update]

[Chrome]
Meter=Image
MeterStyle=IconStyle
X=(-#X1#)
ImageCrop=600,0,200,200

[ChromeName]
Meter=Image
MeterStyle=IconStyle
X=0R
Y=0r
ImageCrop=0,0,600,200

[MeasureSlide]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ActionTimer
Group=Sliders
ActionList1=Repeat Left,5,30
Left=[!SetVariable X1 "(Clamp(#X1#-5,-150,0))"]#U#
ActionList2=Repeat Right,5,30
Right=[!SetVariable X1 "(Clamp(#X1#+5,-150,0))"]#U#
DynamicVariables=1
Does this work for you now?

Well, me personally don't yet know this, but probably it is good as well. Question is (I didn't try it yet) if it is a portable application, or has to be installed?
