oh and when its transparent, can you still see the box? Or will it be like, totally invisible

Have you tried background mode=0?
Making it 100% transparent will make it completely invisible!

NOOO! *dreams shattered*

But anyway, my dream is to get something like this guy's desktop (without the taskbar and choppy icons).
No icons, just sleek neat text, its awesome.
Technical difficulties and the need for the taskbar tray keeps me from that.

I suppose a way around it would be to create text icons for the things in the task bar? But I like that look with all text.

spending so much time on this
things are changing little by littlexD

and i just need to know how to make a new "link" that can go below "My Documents" and also, how do you link to my computer and recycle bin?

You'll need to change the X and Y values in order to add another text link.

(oh gosh, how do I explain this

)

Basically, there's an X value and a Y value for the place of every text link.

Give me a minute to think up an explanation on how to change the X and Y values.

Meanwhile, lemme ask you.
How many text links do you have?

Thats the problem.

I have to make a text icon for every application I have, which is very tedious.

Unlike Rainmeter, where I can just code it in, and it automatically makes text for me.

i only have one text link
my documents
and how do you link to my computer and recycle bin?

IcED · 06-15-2009, 03:56 AM

Give me the code you're working on for 'My Computers'.

And I don't think you can link to Recycle Bin.

i dont have a code for my computers?
i'm asking how to link it

unless your talking about my documents link

Quote:

; My Documents
[MeterOperaDuble]
Meter=STRING
X=2
Y=12
FontFace=Arial
FontSize=8
FontColor=255, 255, 255, 200
StringAlign=LEFT
StringStyle=Bold
AntiAlias=1
Text="My Documents"
Hidden=1
MouseOverAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter MeterOpera]
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter MeterOpera] [!RainmeterRedraw]

[MeterOpera]
Meter=STRING
X=2
Y=12
FontFace=Arial
FontSize=8
FontColor=255, 255, 255, 200
StringAlign=LEFT
StringStyle=Bold
AntiAlias=1
Text="My Documents"
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [!RainmeterRedraw]["C

ocuments and SettingsHome_My Documents"]

MouseOverAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter MeterOperaDuble]
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter MeterOperaDuble] [!RainmeterRedraw]

and it works perfectly

Go to a code whereY=25.
Try and configure that into 'My Computer'.

**Lirange** · 06-15-2009, 04:08 AM
