Newspaper skin support?

Post by dwight28 »

Hello guys. I have 2 problems, hope you people can help me out :) I use the newspaper skin by Tatenokai, linked here: http://tatenokai.deviantart.com/art/Newspaper-Desktop-198008273?

The recycle bin states that when I left click the recycle bin should open and when I right click the recycle bin should be emptied. However none of those work. Here's the code for the recycle bin:

Code: Select all

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; ENIGMA RECYCLER
; Class: Normal

[Rainmeter]
Author=Kaelri.LCD@gmail.com
AppVersion=1001000

Fix to this? Now my 2nd problem is the cigarette. It burns time to time, a very long period. It magically burns then goes back to normal. I don't like it. I like it when it's just burning. Here's the code for the cigarette:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Author=Tatenokai (http://tatenokai.deviantart.com/) and JpsCrazy (http://jpscrazy.deviantart.com/)

[MeasureTime]
Measure=Time
Format=%H
Substitute="01":"0","02":"0","03":"1","04":"2","05":"3","06":"4","07":"0","08":"1","09":"2","10":"3","11":"4","12":"0","13":"1","14":"2","15":"3","16":"4","17":"0","18":"1","19":"2","20":"3","21":"4","22":"0","23":"2","24":"4"

[MeterCigarette]
Meter=Image
ImageName=[MeasureTime].png
DynamicVariables=1
X=125
Y=25
so how can i make it so that it stays burning?

Can someone rewrite both codes for me instead of just partially telling? I donn't know anything about the codes so yea... Sorry i know this may be a lot of work. But thanks~

Sorry, but we don't just "do it for you" here. That is not the point of these forums. If you are not interested in learning how to change things in Rainmeter, then your best bet is to post a comment on the original skin on devART and suggest changes to the original author.

In the folder of this skin there have to be some images called 0.png, 1.png and so on. One of these seems to represent the burning cigarette. You should try to replace [MeasureTime] in MeterCigarette with one of those image names.
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!

You can see MiddleMouseDownAction there but there's no mention of LeftMouse... or RightMouse... at which point the path to the solution should become obvious.

I Googled "rainmeter empty recycle bin" and found plenty of solutions:

When in doubt, don't doubt the manual.
Manual - Mouse Actions
Manual - RecycleManager

Yeah, he has it set up where all the WebParser measure are set to get "10 days" of weather from the site. That seems to be at least partially broken on Weather.com. Change &dayf=10 to &dayf=3 on all the measures and it should be fine.
