I'm currently editing this code created by SimonC to remove a couple of the meters (pwr and uptime) replace those with extra HDD info and also adding in the temps to each core along with a couple of other temps. Now I've got so far as combining Simon's code with a system temp monitor but the problem I have is that when i write in the temperatures to sit below the core usage readings the temp settings are either half visible or outwith the HUD area but i cant see where i can increase the background space so the writing is fully visible. can anyone help in this matter ? :confused:
 
Do you have to increase the total area available to it?

this is what I'm getting

dl.aspx


if i increase the y value any more then it disappears. I've already shifted everything else up 5 so the first y reading is -5
 
I've seen where i went wrong. on the temps setting i had to define a height so that the text would show. got it sorted now.

heres the code in full

That's pretty nice. I wouldn't quite have one setup like that though as I don't need the weather lol.

I prefer side bar stuff as well as I'm barely if ever on my desktop.

I'm using xp and although I did use vista sidebar I wanted to get onto using rainmeter as it was less obtrusive on the desktop area.

As for the setup, the weather part is separate but I'm still to find a better one as the weather shown there is for edinburgh and I'm further north so not quite as accurate as it could be. Used to use the weatherbug one on sidebar and that was fine.
 
or another way of doing it, is by putting
Code:
DynamicWindowSize=1
in the [Rainmeter] section of the config. this calculates the area needed each update, and resizes it. :)

i've just finished making a weather config, let me know what you think :)

I do like the look of that. what weather site does it get its figures from? I ask because the weather.com site doesn't have the place i stay.....well it says it does but doesn't have the weather for it :eek:
 
i've been looking at using the bbc weather RSS feed, if that helps

I've had a look at a few, bbc being one of them, yahoo weather being another. but to be honest I'm a bit out of my depth when it comes to creating one of these ini files. I can botch around someone elses but its mainly minor tweaking than understanding how one line of the ini relates to another :confused:
