ColorMatrix Power Battery

Post by AlC »

Hey Guys

Just wanted to share a skin that I made when I played a bit with ColorMatrix.
It's battery, which change his color to the current battery condition (From Green to Yellow to Red).

There are 2 skins:
One skin (ColorMatrixPower), which using the Power plugin (for Laptops).
The other skin (ColorMatrixCounter), which using a counter (100%->0%) to demonstrate the skin on a non-laptop.

Note:
I tested ColorMatrixPower shortly on my father's laptop, (which is old and has some problem with the battery) and at his laptop it worked well. So Report bugs.

Code:
[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[Variables]
Power=[mPowerCalc]

The Battery Icon is from PRATH33K (little changes from me). Check this -> http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/icons/os/?q=battery#/d319p9l

Have fun with changing the the colors/or maybe the transparency ;-)

That is a much more simple approach then what I used. I'm still trying to figure color matrix out.

Yes I understand you well, I don't really understand the whole ColorMatrix. Only the easy things like this. :)
But I like it, when the Battery has for every single percent an own color. And not the normal things like IfBelowValue=30 ...then Change Color to red
Even if I don't have a laptop :D

Tip: If you wanna do something with ColorMatrix

Open an image editor (like Gimp), double click on the choosen color, then you can change the color.
Look at the values for R G B.

In my case I did a little notice for me:

Bat.Green R 0 G 1
Bat.Green/Yellow R 0,5 G 1
Bat.Yellow R 1 G 1
Bat.Red/Yellow R 1 G 0,5
Bat.Red R 1 G 0
