Actually it is, based on
FreeRaider's idea.
Thanks FreeRaider for that great idea!!!
First you need an ActionTimer plugin measure. Add it as you see below:
Code: Select all
[MeasureSlide]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ActionTimer
ActionList1=Repeat Up,20,20
Up=[!SetVariable W "(Clamp((#W#+5),0,100))"]#U#
DynamicVariables=1
This measure uses two variables, which have to be added to the [Variables] section, beside the existing variables:
Code: Select all
[Variables]
...
W=0
U=[!UpdateMeasure "MeasureSlide"][!UpdateMeter "MeterTemp"][!UpdateMeter "Uptime"][!Redraw]
Color=255,240,0
The last variable (Color) is the color code which you'd like to use to color the temperature value.
You also have to add the following option to the [MeterTemp] meter:
Code: Select all
[MeterTemp]
...
InlineSetting=GradientColor | 90 | #Color# ; 0.0 | #Color# ; (#W#/100) | [#TempColor[&MeasureColor]] ; (#W#/100) | [#TempColor[&MeasureColor]] ; 1.0
(Again, just add this option, without modifying the existing ones).
This last option colors the temperature value from its base up to a point defined by the W variable. Because the value of this variable increases from 0 to 100 (once the [MeasureTemp] WebParser measure gets the value - see below the option required to do this), the temperature value is colored progresively.
The last needed thing is to start the [MeasureSlide] measure to run, once the [MeasureTemp] measure gets the value of the temperature. For this you have to add the following option to the [MeasureTemp] measure:
Code: Select all
[MeasureTemp]
...
FinishAction=[!Delay "1000"][!CommandMeasure "MeasureSlide" "Execute 1"]
The !Delay bang above is used to postpone the coloring with one second - you can renounce to it, if you don't want it.
I just want to mention one more thing: both options used in the [Rainmeter] section are deprecated. AppVersion isn't needed any more and Author has been moved to the [Metadata] section. You also should have to move it (although leaving them there isn't a problem).
