Just add a DynamicWindowSize=1 option to the [Rainmeter] section.anbr07 wrote:Just two thing: sometimes the width of the whole thing doesn't adapt to longer names or titles.
You mean to place the title and artist horizontally after the cover? Because if you would place the string behind the cover, you wouldn't see the title and the artist. So, how do you want to place them?anbr07 wrote:Also, would it be possible to place the title & artist part behind the cover, in order to optimize the space usage? I always have the file & web browser above that strip on the bottom, so it would fit in better. Thanks again!
It can be, however reducing its size to 1x1 pixels wouldn't be a good idea. Instead I'd hide the whole meter when nothing is playing and would show it otherwise. Is this a good idea?anbr07 wrote:Also, is it possible, to reduce the size of this unit to a minimum, when it's not active? At the moment there is a small rectangle visible, maybe its size can be still reduced, like 1x1 pixel, when Foobars not playing?
Yes, that's what i meant. It doesn't matter, if the height is different. On the other hand, maybe the MP3 rate could be placed below the title, because there would be enough space. I also had the bits "title" & "artist" removed, because it's obvious to me. That way it looks a bit clearer.You mean to place the title and artist horizontally after the cover?

It is. Just add the following measure:anbr07 wrote:I wasn't sure, if this is possible.
Code: Select all
[MeasureStatus]
Measure=NowPlaying
PlayerName=[MeasurePlayer]
PlayerType=STATUS
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION#=0)
IfTrueAction=[!HideFade "#CURRENTCONFIG#"]
IfFalseAction=[!ShowFade "#CURRENTCONFIG#"]Replace the X and Y options of the [MeterString] meter with these: X=0R and Y=0r.anbr07 wrote:Yes, that's what i meant.

[MeasureRating]
Measure=NowPlaying
PlayerName=[MeasurePlayer]
PlayerType=RATINGRemove the Title: and Artist: words from the above Text option. With this and the above modifications, the option become Text=%1#CRLF#%2#CRLF#%3 (%4)#CRLF#Rating: %5.anbr07 wrote:I also had the bits "title" & "artist" removed, because it's obvious to me.

Oh, sorry I misunderstood you. I think the NowPlaying measures can't return the bitrate.anbr07 wrote:i meant "MP3-Bitrate" instead of "Rating".
The new line character in Rainmeter is #CRLF#, so you have to add this to the Text option of the [MeterString] meter: Text=%1#CRLF#%2#CRLF#[color=#FF0000]#CRLF##CRLF##CRLF#[/color]%3 (%4).anbr07 wrote:It's cool anyway, it doesn't matter. How would i insert some blank lines, to have it like so:
(Title)
(Artist
(Time played / Time lenght)
?
That way i could pad the right side to align with the height of the cover art.
