Tooltip Date Bug

Post by DMon. »

Well, i was doing a new skin using the tooltip to show the full date and it doesn't seem to be showing the correct date.
I'm using v1.3 rev 475 32-bit

Image

I tried this

Code: Select all

[MeasureFullDate]
Measure=Time
Format=%#x
and this

Code: Select all

[MeasureFullDate]
Measure=Time
Format=%A, %B %d, %Y
and this meter

Code: Select all

[MeterDate]
MeasureName=MeasureFullDate
Meter=STRING
X=r
Y=7
MeterStyle=Style
StringAlign=Right
MouseActionCursor=0
LeftMouseDoubleClickAction=rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL timedate.cpl
ToolTipText=[MeasureFullDate]

I use this:

[MeasureTime]
Measure=Time
Format=%A, %B %#d, %Y at %#I:%M:%S %p

[MeasureDay]
Measure=Time
Format=%A

[MeterFive]
Meter=String
X=0
Y=20R
SolidColor=150,150,150,150
FontColor=255,255,255,255
FontSize=15
Text=Meter 5
ToolTipText=This tooltip displays#CRLF#the results of a measure.#CRLF#But only on [MeasureDay]s
ToolTipType=1
ToolTipTitle=[MeasureTime]
ToolTipIcon=INFO
DynamicVariables=1

You need to use DynamicVariables=1 on any tooltip using a measure in the value. I'm quite sure that it what is getting you.
