Help for converting clock skin format to 12-hour format

[Tejas]

Hye everyone, I downloaded this new skin and I wonder if anyone can please convert the time to 12 hour format in this code.

Here's the code :

Code: Select all

Hye everyone, I downloaded this new skin and I wonder if anyone can please convert the time to 12 hour format in this code.

I did not try that skin, but have you tried changing the [MeasureHour] measure to use 12-hour time? The format code is either %I or %#I, depending on whether you want leading zeroes or not.

Code: Select all

[MeasureHour]
Measure=Time
Format=%#I

You can find the documentation here: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/time/#FormatCodes.

Thanks bro shall try it next time I open my laptop.

[jsmorley]

Seems to me that the version of this skin posted on deviantART is already in 12hour format. Maybe just download and install it again.

No, it's not. even if it shows up AM / PM, it is in a 24-hour format. Unfortunate choice, but that's it. And even in the code posted by OP in the first post it is so, with hours in 24-hour format.

This is good, but probably not enough, because there is one more Time measure which is using the hour: [MeasureExecuteMinute]. The %I format parameter should be replaced there as well, but this creates a new problem, namely that the alarm won't work well, because won't make the difference between AM and PM times.
Tejas, if you need the alarm as well, let me know and I'm gonna rewrite a few things to get it working again.

Addional note: both the !Execute bang and the !Rainmeter... bang prefix have been deprecated long time ago and should be removed, even if the code (for backward compatibility reasons) are still working with them.

[Tejas]

Yes I want them. Please edit the code as you wish so that it works properly. Thanks again.

Yes I want them. Please edit the code as you wish so that it works properly.

Alright, here it is. First add an ALARMAMPM variable to the [Variables] section of the Activ Clock\UserVariables.inc file. This variable has to be either 1 if you want to set the alarm for PM, or 0 for AM. However note that the settings tool (the included config.exe) won't be able to set this variable as well, for now on you have to update it manually. Me personally prefer not to use a .exe for settings, if you need / want a newlly written skin would be much beter to make the settings.
Replace the code of the skin with the following one:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
MouseOverAction=[!ShowMeter MeterClose][!Redraw]
MouseLeaveAction=[!HideMeter MeterClose][!Redraw]
MiddleMouseDownAction=[!DeactivateConfig]
BackgroundMode=1
Update=1000

Note a few things which I upaded, beside what have I wrote:

• Slightly modified the Substitute option of the [MeasureAMPM] measure.
• Removed the Substitute options of the [MeasureMonth] and [MeasureDay] measures and replaced their format option with Format=%b and Format=%a, accordingly. No need to get the full month and day names, then substitute them to get the short names. The used Formats assure you to get directly the short names.
• Added the [MeasureAlarm] measure and moved the IfActions from the [MeasureExecuteMinute] measure here. Also replaced these options with IfCondition (as previously said, it's much more versatile).
• Removed the quotes from a lot of options, where they were not needed.
• Get completely rid of the !Execute bangs and the !Rainmeter... bang prefixes, which as said, have been long time ago deprecated.
• Moved the Author option from [Rainmeter] to [Metadata]. Once it belonged to [Rainmeter], but in meantime it has been moved to [Metadata].
• A few other, minor updates.

I made all the updates on the Activ Clock\01\Activ Clock - D2.ini skin. Even if didn't try out, I suppose the same way you can change any other skin of the package.
Please test the code and let me know if it's alright.
