This is wildly off-topic, but since you posted your desktop, I have a question for you. How come your Rainmeter icon in your system tray is all Windows 10 and moderny, and mine is more the traditional appearance? Mine looks like the logo at the top of this page. Just curious... I'm using a fairly recent 4.4 beta.

Re: fading trough 3 colors... how to do it?
I would argue that almost 100% of the time, "bad things" are due to careless behavior on what is "outbound" from your PC, not unsolicited "inbound" traffic. Not being sure that your PC is free from trojans and viruses, which can be used to sniff out and transmit "private" stuff you really don't want going out, falling for various "fishing" or "redirect" traps on remote sites that capture information you type in, and probably most of all, not using different passwords on every site you log into, those are the ways "bad things" happen.dvo wrote: ↑August 9th, 2020, 4:14 pm normal use is no problem, ip is a part of your standaard way to talk around the world but if some one wants bad things it starts with that ...
btw dmz and firewall should be enough to keep them out .... and if you want to be safe .. don't use windows it's like cheese... with a lot of holes :P

Re: fading trough 3 colors... how to do it?
Yeah, we talked about this a while ago, jsmorley - about the desktop work area and such - and I remember your way of dealing with that. You're perfectly right on IPs and such, by the way, if someone really wants to attack your machine and assuming he knows what he's doing, hiding the IP in screenshots isn't going to accomplish much, at best delay the inevitable. In general it's all about best or common sense practices when online and a top protection made up of multiple layers. Nice trick with the tray icon, by the way.

If you want to get even more notification icon options, you could try RainIcon for starters.
It copies the needed code of 20 icons or 2 histograms to your clipboard and you paste that into 'Rainmeter.ini', replacing any existing [TrayMreasure] section. Refresh All and "Voila!" a new notification style.
To return to the default icon, simply delete [TrayMeasure] from 'Rainmeter.ini'.

Nice work, eclectic-tech! Too bad I keep my tray icons (other than battery, volume and wifi) hidden...eclectic-tech wrote: ↑August 9th, 2020, 7:05 pm Since this thread's subject has already "wandered into the weeds"

And don't you worry, I'll get this thread back on track and out of them weeds soon enough, so take advantage of the situation while you can.

Obviously I'm saying the same thing as I did before:Yincognito wrote: ↑August 9th, 2020, 2:31 pm And here is my promised code, based precisely on your code:
Same applies now as well.

Yeah, but some are shorter than others... Like ... outrageously shorter.balala wrote: ↑August 9th, 2020, 7:23 pm Obviously I'm saying the same thing as I did before:

After all, it was you who said:
So I thought, why not giving a helping hand with that?
