ToolTip.. How can I...?

Post by CybOrSpasm »

Working on a new clock (SUPRISE!) and I am doing something wrong (SUPRISE!)... as you can see in the attached picture, I cant get rid of the text in the upper left corner I have tried to just hide it, but if I move it behind the clock, then the "tooltip activation area" moves as well. Where am I being stupid this time?

Code: Select all

You could add Text="" to the string meter to make it display nothing at all (instead of the default: %1).

Or you could not use a string meter but an image meter (with SolidColor=00000001) and use ToolTipText=[MeasureTimeDigital] in combination with DynamicVariables=1 on it. That's the way I would do a tooltip area.
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!

Thank you MerlinTheRed!! I used your second option and it now works perfectly! Now to figure out those pesky custom cursors! }:] Thanks again!
