Change size is possible ???

There is no easy way. You would have to edit the skin and change things like FontSize W, H, X and Y settings. There is NO magic. You have to learn how to use Rainmeter if you want to change how skins look or behave.

i've read almost every discussion about this topic. BUT, I'M NOT SATISFIED YET. i used to change the size, color, position and format of any rainmeter skin. it's easy to change an element such as font or color but it turns to be hard when we want to change size of a rainmeter skin that contain hundreds of element in it!! it really need a hard work, scaling, calculating, resizing, ect.. it's way too hard.
My question is, is there any format code to change all size,color,position of the elements(all button and images in skin).

it's may be something look like this:

[bmh]
meter=bitmap
measurename=MeasureHour
bitmapimage="nums.png"
bitmapframes=10
x=20
y=20
bitmapextend=1
bitmapdigits=2

[bmm]
meter=bitmap
measurename=MeasureMin
bitmapimage="nums.png"
bitmapframes=10
x=140r
y=r
bitmapextend=1
bitmapdigits=2

[ampm]
meter=STRING
measurename=MeasureAMPM
fontface=#FontName#
fontsize=#FontHeight#
fontcolor=#Color#
antialias=1
x=96r
y=-3r

[bms]
meter=string
measurename=MeasureSec
x=260
y=3r
fontface=#FontName#
fontsize=#FontHeight#
fontcolor=#Color#
antialias=1
hidden=1


variables=change the value weather '+value' or '-value' :%skin
scaleskin=20

is there any code something like this to change the entire element of skin??
it would change the skin size smaller or bigger by changing the % value. if there any, i would like to know. thanks

first of all, let me remind you that have not worked hard for one minute in your life if you consider editing a Rainmeter skin hard work.

desktop customizing is a hobby. if it isn't fun you are doing it wrong.

what you are looking for currently does not exist in Rainmeter. it might be added in future versions as a context menu entry if it is possible at all. think of months or even years here, not days. the devs are doing all this for free in their free time here and still Rainmeter is a better tool than any similar commercial software.

I also think about that when I see this post in devianart To change skin size,go with the Mouse over the skin,then move the Mouse Wheel "UP" (to increase skin size), or "DOWN" (to decrease skin size), and the skin will be "bigger" or "smaller".And when you change the size, don't change it fast! Change it slowly!

I saw that its possible to change the size in desktop directly without typing the value of the size

This is the video

are we going back in time with this ? kill this mf at once ....

dvo, this is not an appropriate response. Sure this is replying to a really old thread, but it is on topic and makes perfect sense here. We do NOT attack each other on these forums. That was the first post for a new user of the forums, and they will be made welcome, not picked on. If you don't have anything of value to add to a thread, maybe just don't.

IF the author has made it like that.

You can not do it with every skin.
