Plugin: Chameleon

[Cariboudjan]

Socks, I've added a suggestion to your GitHub page. Please review. I think it would be a great addition.

Plugin is causing significant problems for Windows users using the 21H1 version of Windows - Mostly non-english speaking users/countries, enterprise, international. Seems to affect both Windows 7 and Windows 10 users equally.

Could be a way the plugin was encoded. Plugin is causing Rainmeter to crash, with the following error code:

Strange. Looks to be in the stb_image_resize library, most likely some silly mistake with how I'm calling it. Do you have info on the image(s) that cause the error so I can narrow down the cause?

(Also I really need to dig up my GitHub login info...)

Hey socks. Thanks for getting back to me. This is the best one I have:

Oh I was asking for info about the actual image that Chameleon was trying to load, if not the image itself. It would make it a lot easier for me to find out where the issue actually is in my code if I had a known broken starting point.

Okay! After some back and forth and figuring out and a vacation, I've finally gotten it down. It was another rather silly mistake on my part, I never tested cropping an image down to exactly 0 on width or height. The latest update adds a check for this case and just uses whatever color set was last generated (or the default) under the assumption that having the cropped area be zero width or height was a value generated by some dynamic code thing and probably shouldn't just error out completely.

You can get v1.6.3 at the usual place: https://software.socksthefox.net/chameleon/

The least i can do to thank you for this incredible plugin is to tell you about some minor things like that: the history of changes on your site lacks info about version 1.6.3:

Whoops, forgot to upload the updated html... one downside to using static html files. Fixed, but it may take a bit for caches to update. Thanks for letting me know!

Hello,

I seem to be having trouble getting Chameleon to work. The Socks skin is working perfectly and I have Chameleon.dll on %APPDATA% so that should mean I have it installed properly.

To test Chameleon, I based it off this plugin and made this quick mockup:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
BackgroundMode=2
SolidColor=0,0,0,255

[MeasureUserName]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SysInfo
SysInfoType=USER_NAME

[ChameleonDesktop]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Chameleon
Type=Desktop

[ChamFG1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Chameleon
Parent=ChameleonDesktop
Color=Foreground1

[Variables]
Color=[ChamFG1]FF

[MeterText]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureUserName
X=5
Y=5
W=100
H=25
FontColor=255,255,255,255
Text="Color: #Color#"

It's only displaying "Color: FF" and not the color code. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Try adding DynamicVariables=1 on [MeterText]
