How to add text below an image?

Post by Kimbaroth »

Hello =)

I'm trying to make a skin to simulate a dock with images, everything's fine, but i found a problem. I'm trying to add text below or above an image but i don't know how to do it.

I'm displaying each image this way:

Code: Select all

[example]
Meter=IMAGE
x=xx
y=yy
ImageName=example.png
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["C:\example"]
So... I wanna know how to add text and how can I add coordinates to specify the location for the text that i want to be displaying below or above each image???

Also, what are the different types of modifiers for the text??? (Alpha, size of shadow, color of shadow, etc...).

Thanks in advanced!!!

Position is set with X= and Y= on the meter. If you use StringAlign you will also need W= and H=

This is also good as it has more details on positioning of meters in general, including string meters: http://rainmeter.net/cms/Meters-GeneralSettings_beta
