am makeing/porting a skin that use a png file for every number ,like for hours > there is a png for every hour and for seconds there is a png also for every second like 01 ,02 , 03 ,etc...

the problem is i dont know how to make Rainlendar or what code should i write to read different png according to every sec/min/hr that the system reads ,anoob was generous enough to help me with the last skin i was porting but this skin is just a whole different story.

+if anyone knows a simple code for the weather to be added to the skin that would be just GREAAAAAAT.

ANY help would be much appreciated.

Update: 6/3

*why when i write a letter after or b4 X=100 or Y=100 it reset to 0 in both direction ?
*why the thin fonts don’t work ?
*how to convert skin from ini to xml ,the 1st topic dont help in anyway for the newpies ?

Add in elements.xml (I will suppose that minute and second images are the same):

Then, in a lua script do:


You need to have in the window xml something like:



About weather, there's no a simple code because you need to connect to a site, download the file, parse the file (the worst part) and display it on screen.

WOOOOOOOOW ,u mean i need to write every png to its number ,cant i just write it like in Rainmeter where u have somthing like Substitute ???

and about the weather ,its okey ,i can live without it ,its a lame thing anyway.

btw ,could u please write this code or the simpler code in ini not xml ,its easier to understand this way ,btw what would be the reason if the png is just showing half of its size even when i write W=500 it sill shows the half only ??? ,thanx again for ur time and help.

I'm not sure what effect you want, so try this first:


what would be the reason if the png is just showing half of its size even when i write W=500 it sill shows the half only ???Can you posted(or attach) the whole ini ? i would check it.

I don't know about ini because I started using Rainlendar with version 2.
But from the original question, there is 1 png for hour and 1 png for seconds or 12 png for hours and 60 png for seconds?
