Hi! I made the following skin to show pictures on desktop. This works for "landscape" pictures (eg 1024X768), but... is there a way to the skin displays and resize automatically "portait" pictures (eg 768X1024), including the outline?

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=60000

[Variables]
ImagePath=F:\pictures
subF=1
fFilter=*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png;*.bmp

[Slide1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\QuotePlugin.dll
PathName=#ImagePath#
FileFilter=#fFilter#
Subfolders=#subF#


[Slide1meter]
MeasureName=Slide1
Meter=IMAGE
X=10
Y=14
W=228
H=171
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["[Slide1]"]

[outline]
Meter=IMAGE
X=6
Y=10
W=237
H=178
ImageName=outline.png

You can set

Code: Select all

PreserveAspectRatio=1

on the Image meter, but that will stretch the image to the meter's W and H (unless you leave one unspecified, which will allow the meter to "float" according to the aspect ratio of the current image). If you need both dimensions to remain constant, there aren't really any good options for cropping images of varying sizes.

(More.)

Ok, thanks. But isn't there a way to make a command like this:
"If in the original picture W>H, then show a 500x300 picture; if W<H, then show a 300x500 picture"?

Not with Rainmeter alone. (But I'll bet you anything there's a Lua script that could do it...)

Where do we plan to get "original picture W" from?
