System Monitoring • Re: HWiNFO | Resizable Gauges 4.5 [Colorable Gauges!]

Hey Solferico, thank you for sharing! That's an awesome setup and I'm glad my gauges gave it a nice touch.

While not on 4.5, changing gauge fonts is something I'm currently working on for the next update. Among other themes related things, it will allow to change fonts more easily, by creating themes. This is actually possible to do on 4.5 though, only not the way I want it.

If you don't want to wait for the next update to change the fonts, after installing 4.5, follow this instructions:
  • Go to @Resources\Theme\Themes\Default.inc and duplicate that file and name it something else.
  • Then go to @Resources\Theme\colors.inc, open that file and change the BaseTheme variable to your new file name.
  • Now open your new theme file, there you'll find the fontface variables related to each design, as well as other variables for the UI colors (those are automatically written when using the Mode Toggle Button).
Currently each design is made to the font it is using, so changing the font will need some font size and Y position adjustments (I'm also working on this for next update). To adjust this parameters you will need to go to @Resources\Content\GeGauges.inc, on the MeterStyles section you'll find Styles related to each design, adjust font sizes and Y positions there (don't modify the styles that have "Box" in their title).

Another important note, currently the toggle mode button will stop working when changing the BaseTheme variable, so, make sure you select the mode you will stay on before duplicating the Default.inc file. You can also change the UI colors if you want, just on the default.inc file change the colors on DarkModeColor and LightModeColor variables, then press the switch mode toggle button on any settings skin, then follow the instructions above. The next update will allow more control over this.

If you need help at any point please let me know.

Now, note that this files and their system will change for next update, so you will lose all these changes when you update next time.

Thank you for your kind words and welcome to the forums :)
Thanks to you Ricardo! Well, I got my custom fonts as you just suggested, and it works like a charm. I need 4.5 anyway to build a purple Vegetta version of the skin, so I'll give it a try
