Re: Countdown timer
Since you didn't provide any code, I will just give you a quick (and very crude) example of how to "save" the current value of a timer.
Note: This is not the most elegant solution, but it is a start.
This is basically just a modified version of smurfier's independent count-down timer combined with an "OnCloseAction" to save the current counter. In order to start at the current value, we have to provide an "offset" for the initial value. However, we have to change the offset to 0 after we start counting, hence the IfActions.
Note: This only really works when you close the skin and open it back up. Refreshing the skin will only reset the counter to when you last opened the skin.
I hope that gives you a start.

Code: Select all
[Rainmeter]
DynamicWindowSize=1
OnCloseAction=!WriteKeyValue Variables CurrentValue [cCounter]
[Variables]
CurrentValue=10
MaxValue=10
Offset=#MaxValue#-#CurrentValue#
[cCounter]
Measure=Calc
Formula=((cCounter-1+(#MaxValue#+1)-(#Offset#))%(#MaxValue#+1))
IfEqualValue=#CurrentValue#
IfEqualAction=!SetVariable Offset 0
DynamicVariables=1
[Meter]
Meter=String
MeasureName=cCounter
FontColor=255,255,255
SolidColor=0,0,0
Note: This only really works when you close the skin and open it back up. Refreshing the skin will only reset the counter to when you last opened the skin.
I hope that gives you a start.

Re: Countdown timer
thanx brian for taken the effort to reply.i am new to rainmeter,but like it better than windows itself,i was only using someone else's countdown skin,as i still learning how to make my own from scratch.so if i put that bit of code u gave me into the other code it will work?.thanx again anyway brian.

Re: Countdown timer
No it will not work for your skin, I was just giving an example of how to accomplish it (A crude one at that!).1690Cat wrote:so if i put that bit of code u gave me into the other code it will work?
It's going to impossible for anyone to help you since you have not posted any code. It would help if you could post the .ini file contents (inside
Code: Select all
tags please). ;-)

Re: Countdown timer
Brian, That is very useful, I've wanted a timer to do that too.
I've bookmarked your code since I have a lot of timers for my TV/Radio station skins.
However....
If one wants to have the timer continue the countdown even while the computer goes into screensaver, sleep node, hibernation, or turned off, then an entirely different method would be needed.
Suppose that at 5 am you want to you want an alarm to go off at 4 PM.
The timer is set to 11 hours and started at 5am.
At 6am the computer goes into screensaver and then shuts down at 7am.
You come back from lunch 2pm and work until 5pm. You want the timer to remind you at 4PM, an hour before you go home.
To do this, one way would be to:
a) store the [StartTime],
b) calculate the [EndTime] by adding the user input duration to it.
c) display the remaining time by subtracting the [EndTime] from the current time.
d) alarm when the [EndTime] - current time is less than 1 second
Note (1)
This method means that if you returned from lunch after 4pm, then the alarm would happen when you boot your computer.
Note (2)
There would be no need to use the OnCloseAction and the timer would still work even if the computer crashed.
I never wrote such a timer because calculating the times correctly in rainmeter was a little beyond me when I tried to do it, I was used to being able to get the time in on windows as the internal date time number (on windows it is the number of seconds that have elapsed since midnight on January 1st, 1970)
It would be nice if Rainmeter could deal with date/time in the internal format.
Of course, this method would fail on 32 bit versions of windows In the year 2038 on January 19th if you set the alarm before 3:14 am UTC to alarm after that time due to the epoch on windows having started on midnight, January 1st 1970. However 64 bit windows systems are good for the next 290 billion years !

Re: Countdown timer
HI again Brian, i think i sent the file somewhere different just before,so trying again here,what it is i need the timer to be like a clock and carry on counting down when computer is switched off,so when i switch back on say 6 hours later it has counted them 6 hours and still counting down,if you know what i mean.sorry if i being a bother,but just can't find one anywhere that will do this.thanks.

Re: Countdown timer
Have you seen the new TimeStamp option for Time measures?bobgrosh wrote:It would be nice if Rainmeter could deal with date/time in the internal format.
I think you are thinking of Unix Time. For Windows, time started Jan 1, 1601 and lasts for about 30,000 years.bobgrosh wrote: ... the epoch on windows having started on midnight, January 1st 1970
Ok, I tried messing around with that old, dated (and inefficient skin) before I just gave up and wrote a new countdown timer myself.1690Cat wrote:HI again Brian, i think i sent the file somewhere different just before,so trying again here,what it is i need the timer to be like a clock and carry on counting down when computer is switched off,so when i switch back on say 6 hours later it has counted them 6 hours and still counting down,if you know what i mean.sorry if i being a bother,but just can't find one anywhere that will do this.thanks.
So here it is (beware, it uses Lua):

Re: Countdown timer
Hi Brian,i want to thank you for your time and effort in doing that timer for me.it works great just what i needed.i downloaded one similar a couple weeks back,but when time ran out it just carried on with a minus added to it,but was no good for my needs.this one stops and tells me, and that is what i needed.thanks again.

Re: Countdown timer
I have this Skin (Countdown.ini, with CountDown.lua), but would like to use my own numbers.
The Numbers are in .png
How can I change it?
