Change widget position depending on the day of the week

[IvanAstran]

I have a widget for Rainmeter that shows the days of the week.
But each day of the week has a different number of letters, so the word keeps moving out and I have to correct it.
I need to make it so that each day of the week has a different position.
I tried to do it myself, but it didn't work out. (Sorry if it's not clear, I'm using google translator.)

I have a widget for Rainmeter that shows the days of the week.

No, you don't have a widget, but a skin. In Rainmeter there are no widgets, just skins.

But each day of the week has a different number of letters, so the word keeps moving out and I have to correct it.
I need to make it so that each day of the week has a different position.

Don't create seven String meters, one for each day of the week. This is completely useless, wasting lot of space in the code of the skin. Instead one single meter should be created and what I'd do with it is to center it. This way the weekday is kept on the same position. For instance replace the [MeterMonday], [MeterTuesday] (and so on) meters, with the following one:

Code: Select all

[MeterWeekday]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureDay
Text=%1
X=(320*#Scale#)
Y=(0*#Scale#)
FontFace=Anurati
FontSize=(40*#Scale#)
FontColor=#TextColor#
StringAlign=Center
StringCase=Upper
AntiAlias=1
Hidden=0
;IfMatch="Monday"
;IfMatchAction=[!SetOption MeterMonday Hidden 0][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
;IfNotMatchAction=[!SetOption MeterMonday Hidden 1][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
DynamicVariables=1

See what have been replaced:

• The Text option has been changed to Text=%1. This way, this only meter shows what the [MeasureDay] measure is returning (due to the MeasureName=MeasureDay option of the meter). On the seven meters you had a MeasureName option on each of them, but each shown one day of the week, set by the Text="MONDAY", Text="TUESDAY" (and so on) options (additional tip: quotes are completely useless, they are not needed in Rainmeter).
• The StringAlign option has been replaced by StringAlign=Center, which obviously centers the string.
• The IfMatch, IfMatchAction and IfNotMatchAction options have been sommented out, they can be removed freely, because they are not working on meters. These options can be used only on measures, not on meters (I didn't completely removed them, just to let you see they are not allowed).

Besides all this, you have to replace the meter, by altering its X option. I kept above the X=(320*#Scale#) option of the [MeterMonday] meter, but you obviously can place it to a proper position, if this is not good enough.
Is this solution a proper one for your needs?
