Hey guys, this is my current rainmeter implementation:
I was wondering how I would implement a new feature where it connects to my Google Calendar, and lets me know what I am suposed to be doing at that time. Example: if its 2:30pm, and I have Psych class at that time, then right above my media controls, it will say, "You are attending Psych class!"
How would I go about doing this?
It is currently May 4th, 2024, 12:57 am

Re: Google Calendar
To do this from scratch you would need to use the WebParser plugin and an RSS url from your Google calendar:
http://rainmeter.net/cms/Plugins-WebParser_beta
Webparser reads a feed and filters it, extracting out important information. If you only want your current event (i.e. what you should be doing RIGHT NOW) then that should be a fair bit simpler, but on the whole webparser is a time-consuming plugin to write for.
There are other skins that do this (including the Enigma theme in RM). Depending on the license of the config it is possible to have a look at the code, copy it and rework it into a new skin. Of course check with the skin creator where possible - most of them are on the forum.
