I want to use the Gnometer theme and have a white bar with black font (similar to a mac) but when I do so black text shadow becomes obvious and distorts the font. I'm wondering if there is any way to turn the shadow off completely. Thanks

Turn Off Text Shadow?
I just discovered Rainmeter today and am loving it. I want to use the Gnometer theme and have a white bar with black font (similar to a mac) but when I do so black text shadow becomes obvious and distorts the font. I'm wondering if there is any way to turn the shadow off completely. Thanks

I might add an option to disable this in Gnometer 1.3.0.3, but for now, open Gnometer\SETTINGS\StyleXX.inc (where XX is the style you're currently using) and change all instances of StringEffect=SHADOW to StringEffect=NONE.mattie3317 wrote:I just discovered Rainmeter today and am loving it.

Re: Turn Off Text Shadow?
I just tried this (I had to save to my documents and then copy it into the folder to work around an access denied message) but the text still has shadow. I've refreshed the skin and even restarted my computer. I just applied the modification to the other skins thinking I am somehow using a different one, but no luck.poiru wrote: I might add an option to disable this in Gnometer 1.3.0.3, but for now, open Gnometer\SETTINGS\StyleXX.inc (where XX is the style you're currently using) and change all instances of StringEffect=SHADOW to StringEffect=NONE.

Re: Turn Off Text Shadow?
Did you change your Rainmeter Skins folder? I ask because you mentioned copying the files out of My Documents, but your default skins folder should be in My Documents(\Rainmeter\Skins), and not in e.g. C:\Program Files\Rainmeter.mattie3317 wrote:I just tried this (I had to save to my documents and then copy it into the folder to work around an access denied message) but the text still has shadow.

Oh I was changing it in C:\Program Files\Rainmeter. My bad. Thanks for the help though, it looks a lot cleaner nowKaelri wrote: Did you change your Rainmeter Skins folder?
