Got a little bored and knocked up the following. Just need to find out a decent replacement for my HD / CPU bars which are bigger and also I need to find out how to auto-refresh Rainmeter.

Remake the thread imo, but allow larger pictures and explain what Rainmeter, Objectdock and so on is in the OP? Would save on the majority of posts i guess ;p

Yes it was Rainmeter - I've made changes and had exactly the same problem as you.

What you need to do is:

Go to the Rainmeter directory, Skins folder and then into the 10-foot HUD folder, Weather folder and then open either the black or white ini file with a text editor.

Right at the bottom you'll have:

[MeterDesc]
MeasureName=MeasureWeatherDesc
Meter=STRING
X=550
Y=68
FontColor=0,0,0,80
FontSize=36
StringAlign=RIGHT
StringStyle=BOLD
FontFace=rockwell
Antialias=1

If you notice the bold part above - it's the font size. On yours it will be something like 40. Change this to 36 and it'll be fine - it's basically because the font is too big for the allocated area.

It's the same with the clock as well - mine wasn't showing the M part of AM properly - lowered the font size and all is well.

Link please?

Is there a multi monitor version of this?

You can also add to that:

W=400

Or replace 400 with another number for the width that you would like in pixels.

The clock also has no leading zero which means it will change width depending on the time. You can change that by looking at the top where it says:

[MeasureTime]
Measure=Time
Format=%I:%M%p

I think by default its %i - change it to %I for leading zeros. I also removed the space between the time and PM/AM from that line.

Well spent an hour on mine earlier as I need to change the font size on the CPU / HD monitors. It looks a lot better now and as soon as I find some new wallpaper I'll up another copy!
