Image Change Via Time?

[MourningStar]

Hi All -

If possible I will create post in Skins Help forum. I will use a weather skin for an example. Can a skin be configured to display a sun image for, say, 06:00 to 18:00 and a moon image for 18:01 to 05:59?

-thx

It definitely is. You need a Time measure, with a proper IfCondition. For instance:

Code: Select all

[MeasureTime]
Measure=Time
Format=%#H
IfCondition=((#CURRENTSECTION#>=6)&&(#CURRENTSECTION#<18))
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption MeterImage ImageName "#@#SunImage"][!UpdateMeter "MeterImage"][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!SetOption MeterImage ImageName "#@#MoonImage"][!UpdateMeter "MeterImage"][!Redraw]

The !SetOption bangs are setting the appropriate image to an Image meter, called [MeterImage]. Take care to modify the bangs in a way to have the proper meter and image names.

thank you balala - is there a skin that does this so I may study the code and see if I can create this functionality with one of mine on my own?

There probably is (in fact for sure is), but I can't recommend one. But starting from the posted code, you can modify it as you want or you can come back if further questions arise.
