Thanks.

I found your skin here and thought it would look very nice in the computer lab displays that I manage. I was wondering if it is possible to edit this so that I can display the notes, time, and calendar at a larger window size (1920x1080).

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in this suite .

For your question, it is very difficult, especially for the calendar, since everything is calculated for the current size of the skin. A single change and the indicators (days and events) would no longer be in the right place. So no, sorry, it will require a complete rewrite of the suite .

That's what I thought! I better get cracking to figure this out!

Good luck in this case, lol. Just for information, you can change the font size in the control panel of the suite, if you find that the size is too large. You can also change the font. There are many options for users .

Can you please incorporate an colour hex code option because I'm finding it hard to get a specific colour so the interfaces match with my background.

Hi,

Use the "ColorSpectrum" (config folder) to change the color at your convenience. Then, just click on the text (color1, color2 ...) of the color to be modified. It's very simple .

If you have difficulty, try your color with a software (Paint.Net, Gimp, Photoshop ...) and then transfer your color exact in the file "Style.inc" ("resouces" folder). Variables for colors are located near the end of the file. "FBB" for text, "DA1" for background, "FBC" and "FBD" for additional colors .

Thanks for the help
But quick question do i need some other program to get the interface to show my CPU temps and GPU temps
because they aren't working as of now.
Also is there anyway of making the dock tab bigger/longer

Kinda new to Rainmeter

Hi,

You need CoreTemp for the CPU and MSIAfterburner for the GPU (as indicated in the description). Both programs must be in memory so that Rainmeter can use the data .

The dock has a single size, which corresponds to the size (length) of the other skins.
