I would do something like this:
Code: Select all
[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
AccurateText=1
SkinHeight=120
SkinWidth=210
[Variables]
ShapeTopColor=0,0,0
ShapeTopOpacity=200
ShapeBodyColor=0,0,255
ShapeBodyOpacity=150
[MeterBackground]
Meter=Shape
; The "frame"
Shape=Rectangle 6,7,196,104,5 | StrokeWidth 1 | Stroke Color 160,160,160,255 | Fill Color 0,0,0,0
; The "top" shape
Shape2=Rectangle 6.5,7.5,195.5,25,5 | StrokeWidth 0 | Fill Color #ShapeTopColor#,#ShapeTopOpacity#
Shape3=Rectangle 6.5,15,195.5,20
Shape4=Combine Shape2 | Union Shape3
; The "bottom" shape
Shape5=Rectangle 6.5,35,195.5,75.5,5 | StrokeWidth 0 | Fill Color #ShapeBodyColor#,#ShapeBodyOpacity#
Shape6=Rectangle 6.5,35,195.5,20
Shape7=Combine Shape5 | Union Shape6

So in short, I'm first drawing an empty "frame" around the area for my overall shape, so I get the "stroke" I want.
Then I draw each of the individual "top" and "bottom" shapes, with no "stroke", and then use Combine to eliminate the corner radius from the bottom of the "top" shape, and the top of the "bottom" shape. Size and position these shapes so they fit within, but don't overlap, the "frame" we first drew. Remember that strokes are 1/2 "inside" and 1/2 "outside" the shape they define. That is why there are some fractional heights and widths.
If you have a rectangle defined at 2,2 and a StrokeWidth of 1, the stroke is actually drawn on 1.5,1,5 and extends to 2.5,2.5
Not quite sure why you have the shape "inset" in the skin and have SkinWidth and SkinHeight defined, but perhaps it is to simplify "Snap to edges", and that is up to you. I more or less went with what you had.
In truth, probably the right way to do this is to just draw the "top" and "bottom" shapes using a
Path shape, and just exclude the stroke on the bits of the path where you don't want them, using
SetNoStroke. This could be done with 2 shapes instead of 7. Having said that, Bézier curves (for the corners) are a bit outside my wheelhouse, so I went with the brute force approach.
