Changing Colours Help

[BenG]

Hey all,

I used an example script from the manual and adapted it a little so it tells me what I'm listening to. My problem is I want the Artist name and the Track name to be in bold or be able to change the colour of it. Here is my code so far, if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be cool.

Cheers,

- Ben

All you need to do is separate the meters that show plain text from those that show bold and/or different coloured text.

Ah I'll put that in now, trying to code at 2am doesn't work sometimes I almost had it too but couldn't get it to work. Cheers

Oh what does DynamicWindowSize=1 mean?

It makes Rainmeter calculate the window size on every update. Without it, the window size is only calculated once and if your text grows to be outside that window it gets cut off.
