You can also right-click the skin to change other skin options as desired. Rainmeter will remember the position any time you load this skin in the future. From the Manage dialog, find the Clock.ini entry in the list and click on the Load button on the upper right.ĭrag the skin anywhere on the screen you like.
So let's load our new skin and take a look at where we stand.
What that means is that this meter will display the value returned by the measure on each Update. The key to using measures and meters together is using the MeasureName option to "bind" the measure to the meter. This way we won't have to repeat them in every meter we create. First, we are going to use the MeterStyle option by creating a section to set up some common string formatting options. So let's add a meter to display this value we obtained with our measure. We are using a format of "hour in 12 hour time:minutes" for this measure.
ĭo check out the manual entry for the Time measure to see how that Format option is used to obtain the time information you want. Now let's add our first Measure, in this case a Time measure to retrieve information about the system time from your computer. In addition, we will be using some more features of the String meter and dip our toes a little deeper into using action options and Bangs in your skin.įirst, as we did in our earlier tutorial, let's add the section to control the Update speed of the skin. Measures are used to obtain some information in Rainmeter, from your computer's system, text files, web sites, and other sources. This tutorial will introduce using Measures in a skin. Don't load the skin just yet, we need to add some code first. This will open the new skin file in your default text editor.
Find Clock.ini in the list, right-click it and say "Edit". Click on the Refresh all button on the bottom left, and you should see your new Tutorials / Clock config in the list. Now, left-click the Rainmeter icon in the Windows notification area on your taskbar, to open the Manage dialog. In Windows explorer, you can simply right-click in the folder and say "New / Text document". In that Tutorials\Clock folder, create a new empty text file. Under Skins\Tutorials\ create a new folder called Clock. We are going to add a new folder under that one to create our new skin. In the previous tutorial, you should have already created a folder under Skins called Tutorials.
