I have been working on the skin and have the most parts done. Now, what is left is to add some resource managing meters and such. I have been implementing all of the good advice received here into my skin, hopefully correctly, and it is awesome. But I do have to say that Rainmeter is quite dangerous, it is taking too much of my time, and I like it!
Here is the screenshot of my desktop with the skin implemented
When loading the skin please load only the modules seen in the screenshot, names should make that obvious, but for any case, do not load alertMutant.ini and ScanLines.ini, those two are set to be loaded by pressing the <SCAN> button and are like a mini refreshment, make sure that your sound is not set to loud, the scanning will take about 10 seconds or so,![:sly:]( "Sly")
(PG friendly, no worries). Hopefully it'll work as intended, it does for me. to close the image, click on it or the text right below it.
The skin
If you have a chance, in my alertMutant.ini skin, I tried adding one more meter below the image, but I can't position it right, whatever I try the image gets moved as well. And for the scan lines, how would I limit the animation to run twice, from the top of the screen to the bottom, as I have it now, it is on a counter measure, and it gets stopped if the run count exceeds a predetermined number.
And, lastly, I would appreciate any pointers on how to get this type of Meter looks, it is based on Jax Core for Rainmeter I believe, I can get pretty much everything as it is in the image but have no clue in how to do /////// meters, and that is what I'd most like to have. I could install Jax Core but that just adds another layer of programs needed which is what I am trying to avoid. Hope this type of questions is ok.
Thank you and a Happy New Year!
