The angle of the shadow ?

Post by wiedzmawiedzma »

I wonder if I can set the angle of the shadow. By default, this angle is 120 °. For a 90 ° double-type a Meter = STRING instructions and the "Y =" one of them, I type the following

Code: Select all

[Drive%]
Meter=STRING
MeasureName=Mse_DriveLabel
X=29
Y=5
FontColor=#fontColor.Text2#
FontSize=#FontHeight#
FontFace=#FontName#
StringStyle=BOLD
FontEffectColor=0,0,0,200
AntiAlias=1
Text="Dysk D "%1""

[Drive%2]
Meter=STRING
MeasureName=Mse_DriveLabel
X=29
Y=4
FontColor=#fontColor.Text#
FontSize=#FontHeight#
FontFace=#FontName#
StringStyle=BOLD
AntiAlias=1
Text="Dysk D "%1""

So you want to display a shadow behind your text, but StringEffect=Shadow always displays the shadow at the same place? I'm afraid duplicating the string meter and using one as the shadow is the only way you'll get a "custom" angle.
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!

Thanks for the reply was what I meant or StringEffect = Shadow always displays the shadow at the same place and that the duplication of Meter = STRING is the only way. :welcome:
