A few simple examples of timeline timers that give a visual indication of the time remaining before the next action.
4 Horizontal example skins: Left-to-Right, Right-to-Left, Center-In, Center-Out
4 Vertical example skins: Up, Down, Center-In, Center-Out
The duration and size are easily set in the variables. 'IfCondition' statements can be expanded.
I have used them in RSS Reader skins, Gallery skins, Wallpaper changer skins, etc. You may find other uses for them.
Taking only 2 variables, 2 measures, and 2 meters; that can easily be integrated into skins.
Not rocket-science, I just saved you the time you would spend to code the formulas yourself!

Re: Graphic Timelines
Thanks AC!
I used these a few years ago in one of my skin suites, and decided I should "dust them off" and share...![Big Grin :D](./images/smilies/ag.gif)

Re: Graphic Timelines
Thanks eclectic-tech!
I often use this kind of formulas, but I never thought about it as timeline... and I was trying to find a way to display it in my skins.
As a side note, I tend to use directly the formula to calculate the line length in the meter W, instead of using the measure.

Yes, the formula can be used directly in the W/H value.fonpaolo wrote:Thanks eclectic-tech!![]()

Using a measure allows me to quickly use it in multiple meters (without having to code the entire formula), or in many skins by including the measure in an @include file.
The author can choose which ever method suits their need... there are always alternative methods, that's part of the fun of coding Rainmeter skins!

The most hilarious thing is that I already used something similar to display the last six sessions in my Uptime skin...
...but I thought to use it, only thanks to you.
