Post by TurtleSoup »

Hi everybody,

I've been trying to get text icons like in this on Enigma for a while now. Does anybody know how to get text icons working on Enigma?

Thanks

Is that even Enigma? I don't know it that well but the music player is the only thing that looks like enigma on that screen shot.

If you want to create your own "Text icons", it's rather easy to do. You just need a suitable font. Then you can create a skin like this:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
 Author=MerlinTheRed
 Update=1000
 MiddleMouseUpAction=!Refresh #CURRENTCONFIG#
 DynamicWindowSize=1
 
[Variables]
 Link="C:\Program Files\Chrome\chrome.exe"
 HighlightColor=255, 255, 255, 255
 NormalColor=255, 255, 255, 180
 Font=Century Gothic

 [LinkStyle]
 FontFace=#Font#
 FontColor=#NormalColor#
 SolidColor=00000001
 AntiAlias=1
 LeftMouseUpAction=["#Link#"]
 MouseOverAction=[!SetOptionGroup "Text" "FontColor" "#HighlightColor#"][!Update]
 MouseLeaveAction=[!SetOptionGroup "Text" "FontColor" "#NormalColor#"][!Update]


[MeterBigText]
 Meter=String
 Group=Text
 X=100
 Y=50
 Text=Chrome
 FontSize=20
 StringAlign=CenterBottom
 MeterStyle=LinkStyle

[MeterSmallText]
 Meter=String
 Group=Text
 X=r
 Y=r
 Text=WEB
 FontSize=12
 StringAlign=CenterTop
 MeterStyle=LinkStyle

Notice the MouseActions to create a hover effect.
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!

It is indeed Enigma. The skin already has a text-only variant, so all you need to do is choose a suitable font, and then possibly tweak the skin dimensions a little bit.
