4.5.5 - Added TrailingSpaces option

Post by jsmorley »

Added a new TrailingSpaces option to the String meter.

When this is set to 1, any Text option that is enclosed in "quotes" will display leading and trailing spaces.

Code: Select all

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

[Variables]

[MeterOne]
Meter=String
FontSize=11
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1
TrailingSpaces=1
Text="        This has leading and trailing spaces        "

Rainmeter always showed leading spaces as far as I remember.
Shall there be LeadingSpaces=0 option introduced?

No... If you don't want leading spaces, don't put them there. ;-)

Meter=String

Yep, it is that simple. I just supposed that this case could be similar to the one that death.crafter explained initially when asking for TrailingSpaces feature.

I get what is happening. I am just wondering if there is way to know how far the space extends in this case?
