Cobalt 1.3

I like the clock and uptime meter; nice visual concept!

I haven't looked at the code, but I wonder if there's a simple way to change the hour slice colors based on the time of day. For example, a light color between the hours of 6 am and 6 pm, and a darker color for 6 pm to 6 am, just to differentiate.

Regardless, good work!

Calc on AM/PM maybe? or perhaps an "If" AM #colour1#, else #colour2#? Sadly, I am great on ideas, weak on implementation I will have a poke with that later.

I'm working on a new theme that builds on what I have learned to date with Cobalt and addresses all the things I'd like to change with hindsight, but every so often I need to tweak something.

I was struggling to get uptime acting like anything other than a digital clock for the new modular suite I'm writing and when I found a solution I got the "Whoa! would that would be cool if I could just..." moment...

And that's REALLY why we do this!

Several updates, see OP for details.

Media player updated with button meters replacing image meters for the "buttons"!, Font tweak and slight reduction in physical size. Much happier with the look.

Found a small bug. In the processor skin you use "IgnoredProcess" in [MeasureTopCPU] but it should be "GlobalIgnoredProcess" . Before the change things like _Total and Idel were displayed and after they aren't.

BTW - thanks this is a GEAT skin.

Thanks for the kind words and the input, good spot, I actually use "Processors Top Process" by default so didn't notice at all!

GlobalIgnoredProcesses=Idle|%Total|rundll32|wscript|userinit

is the fix I have just applied, so I will finish off the Instagram skin and upload a new version later on.
