Re: Can I change the colour of this skin?
There are at least 2 files missing in the rmskin-package:
But to change colors, as a starting point, look at the the "LineColor=..." line at each of the roundline-meters in the included file 1.txt
Code: Select all
@include=#@#uservariables.inc
@Include1=var.txt

Seeming you're beginire, so maybe you don't exactly know what to do with ikarus1969's (otherwise good) reply, here are some details:Param4954s wrote: ↑December 18th, 2023, 4:38 pm i really want to change its Colour. please see if its possible.
- As he said, you probably have to alter the LineColor options of each of the [r1] - [r126] Roundline meters, contained into the included 1.txt file. Replace the existing LineColor=255,255,255,225 options on each of the above meters with the desired color code. For instance the LineColor=255,0,0,225 option gives you red meters, while LineColor=255,240,0,225 gives yellow. Obviously you can use any color code you'd like to use.
- Additionally an Update=1 option in the [Rainmeter] section is completely invalid. The lowest possible value for this option is Update=16, as described in the second paragraph here. Even if the skin works well with Update=1, this is due to the fact that if you're using a lower value than the smallest possible value, Rainmeter uses it as Update=16. But in fact this also should have to be fixed.
- Include in the package please the not existing files (described by ikarus1969 above). Without them we can't even load the skin for tryout. Note that a @Resource folder doesn't exist in the config, however the uservariables.inc file should be placed into this @Resources folder, according to the @include=#@#uservariables.inc option of the [Variables] section. If you added the needed files repost the package please.
- Even if there is practically nothing wrong with using .txt files to store variables, measures and meters, a much better way is to add these sections into .inc files. Once again, the skin works with .txt files as well, but it's a general practice to use those files as .inc, instead of .txt files.
