Problem pausing rotator

[TweaknFreak]

(See the pictures below first)
I start a image rotator and it has to end at a angle of -45 degrees after rotation. I tried doing that by running a parallel Measure which counts to 30 and disables the rotator and shows up a image meter containing image no. 2. But that stucks in between and its really awkward to look at.

Please suggest me a possible solution. Thanx a million times.

would you mind posting code or skin?

Your Issue is, you try to "spin" it statically. You have to do the same with a measure to add a small portaion of 2pi to rotate it.
You just do it with a constant

StartAngle=0

Sorry but I didnt get you properly. Please xplain a bit more.

You just add a constant to your rotation value,
but you need to add a measure there too, which increments

for something to rotate you have to add for example 1° over time but you have added 45° as a constant value to it.

[TweaknFreak]

Can you provide a example code of spinning it statically. that would be very helpful.

Sorry was/am quite busy with university.
Ill have a look when I'm free

[Rainmeter]
Update = 10

[MeasureRotator]
Measure = Calc
Formula = MeasureRotator + 1

[Background1]
Meter = Image
ImageName = try.png
X = 0
Y = 0
ImageRotate = [MeasureRotator]
DynamicVariables=1
AntiAlias=1

this is some sample it simply rotating
but you have to fix the size + center point

Smurfier and JSM already did a tut on this + explanation [1]

Hope this helps

Sorry but that aint working. Please suggest something else. I tried Rotating it with OffsetX and Y set to middle of the image, but no luck. It Rotates in dizzying circles. I have a tough time finding the centre. Please help.
