help with a clock

Post by Gentle Ben »

i've edited a clock that had a calendar to just being a clock, which works fine however i want it to be able to go to the edge of my screen(as indicated in my attachment). I've tried changing the W and H values in the following park of code;

Code: Select all

[MeterBackGround]
Meter=IMAGE
X=0
Y=0
W=600
H=400
SolidColor=0, 0,222, 1
How ever this has done seemingly nothing at all, SO my question to who ever reads this and can help is, what part of the code bellow do i need to change to make the clock be able to go to the very edge of my screen???


thanks,
ben.

Code: Select all

Sometimes the nature of a font, or the use of "Angle=" can cause it to have some empty space around it. You can use the Rainmeter context menu for the skin (or RainBrowser) and turn off "Snap to Edges" and "Keep on Screen" so you can fine tune the position.
