Help on editing older script

Post by AdrianJC »

Hi people,

I am currently using a skin that I want to adjust, can someone help me?
I copied the piece of script below.

Code: Select all

****************************************
[ProcessorGather]
Measure=Registry
RegHKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
RegKey=HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0
RegValue=ProcessorNameString

[TitleString]
Meter=String
X=0
Y=0
W=200
H=#BoxHeight#
FontFace=#Font#
FontSize=#FontHeight#
FontColor=#TitleColor#
SolidColor=#MouseBiteColor#
StringStyle=Bold
AntiAlias=#AntiA#
Text="PROCESSOR"

[DataString]
Meter=String
MeasureName=ProcessorGather
X=72
Y=0
FontFace=#Font#
FontColor=#DataColor#
FontSize=#FontHeight#
AntiAlias=#AntiA#
Text="%1"

****************************************
the output of this is that there is the text in 1 line:

PROCESSOR "processor information"

What I would like is for these to be 2 lines so:

1. PROCESSOR
2. "processor info"

Is this possible

Hi AdrianJC

Your posted code is missing variables for several colors and text height. So, I added them, your code works well.

What an old-fashioned CPU...:-)

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
BackgroundMode=2
SolidColor=192,192,192,192

[Variables]
BoxHeight=20
FontHeight=10
TitleColor=255,255,255,192
DataColor=0,0,0,192
MouseBiteColor=64,64,64,192

[ProcessorGather]
Measure=Registry
RegHKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
RegKey=HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0
RegValue=ProcessorNameString

[TitleString]
Meter=String
X=0
Y=0
;W=200
H=#BoxHeight#
FontFace=#Font#
FontSize=#FontHeight#
FontColor=#TitleColor#
SolidColor=#MouseBiteColor#
StringStyle=Bold
AntiAlias=#AntiA#
Text="PROCESSOR"

[DataString]
Meter=String
MeasureName=ProcessorGather
X=0R
Y=0
FontFace=#Font#
FontColor=#DataColor#
FontSize=#FontHeight#
AntiAlias=#AntiA#
Text="%1"
Ps. I have forgotten to add #AntiA# variable... so attached image shows no antialiasing for text, sorry.

Yes, it is. I have two suggestestions:
  • Replace the X and Y options of the [DataString] meter as it follows:

    Code: Select all

    [DataString]
    ...
    X=0r
    Y=3R
    ...
    To adjust the vertical position of the [DataString] meter, you can replace the numeric value of the 3R value in the Y option, finding the desired value.
  • A much better solution in my opinion would be to use only one single String meter, instead of the existing [TitleString] and [DataString] meters. If you want to give it a try, replace the mentioned meters with the following one:

    Code: Select all

    [TitleDataString]
    Meter=String
    MeasureName=ProcessorGather
    X=0
    Y=0
    FontFace=#Font#
    FontSize=#FontHeight#
    FontColor=#TitleColor#
    SolidColor=#MouseBiteColor#
    StringStyle=Bold
    AntiAlias=#AntiA#
    Text=PROCESSOR#CRLF#%1

I'm looking for a system info setup, i've been testing some different themes already but still have the feel that i'm missing parts.
After running in to the Rainmeter SysInfo theme i thought to give this a shot but there's a lot to choose from.....

Perfectly agree. But if you need it, it probably does worth to dig into it.
