Beast and Tameby ~ld-jing

Customization / Skins & Themes / System Monitoring / Rainmeter

Beast and Tame Skin
--------------------------

This skin all started from taipan-snake's Homescreen Rainmeter, the Menu Style, this idea is common yet very rare to find one (including me!) Bravo!
Building this skin just gave me headache and wasted my whole weekend! My notebook crashed for four times! But today, here is the gift for you!
The reason why I named this skin 'Beast and Tame' because the 'Beast' is very consuming your CPU resource, around 20%-30% continually in my 1.6 GHz CentrinoDuo processor, vice versa the 'Tame' only consume a little bit.
the 'Beast' just have animation method compare with the 'Tame' yet I don't know why it's very consuming CPU usage, that's why I seperate into two configs. All up to you, which you gonna choose, the 'Beast' or the 'Tame'.
SEE the preview before USE it!

Hello,

You can expand the frame of the skin in 1280x768 pixel format, only the frame? to cover the entire screen, leaving unchanged the elements that are inside.
If you can do, where I have to change within the file .ini?

~ld-jing Mar 4, 2010

Cannot do that because i use the images not using the code to create the background.. sorry..

~pratchettfan777 Jan 27, 2010

I truly DIG your skin bud and will modify it for my desktop. There is one problem that I can see in the code though.

The log file notes that it cannot load 0.png . When I look in the folder the weather icons start at 1.png, but there is an na.png . Is this what it should be leading instead of 0.png??? Thanks in advance !

~ld-jing Feb 3, 2010

I didn't know about this problem before. yeap, this is no 0.png file..

~fredlicurgo Dec 16, 2009
