Na de final release van versie 2.3 van Rainmeter, precies een maand geleden, is nu de eerste bètarelease van versie 2.4 uitgekomen. Met dit programma kan in realtime allerlei nuttige en minder nuttige informatie op de desktop worden weergegeven, zoals vrije ruimte op de harde schijf, netwerkactiviteit en of er nieuwe e-mail is. Ook kunnen functionele applets worden gebruikt om bijvoorbeeld notities te maken of om tweets mee te versturen. Nieuw in versie 2.4 is onder andere dat er met custom muiscursors gewerkt kan worden en dat bij het berekenen van de vrije ruimte op de harde schijf rekening wordt gehouden met quota.
Rainmeter 2.4 Beta Available
The latest version of Rainmeter will see many improvements, both for users of the application and for those creating and editing skins. Stay tuned every Sunday for the latest beta version. As always, Rainmeter 2.4 fully supports skins written for earlier versions, and users can simply upgrade their existing installations. There is no need to uninstall or change any existing setup to use the new beta version.
- Added support for custom cursors on meters with mouse actions with new
MouseActionCursorName
option.
If a custom cursor file (i.e. .cur or .ani) is found in @Resources\Cursors in the root config folder of a skin, it will be automatically loaded and available as an alternative for the standard "hand" pointer for meters or skins with a mouse action. The option can be used in any meter or the [Rainmeter] section withMouseActionCursorName=MyCursor.cur
. No path definition is needed in the option.In addition, several built-in Windows cursors may be used without needing any file name or extension. (Hand, Text, Help, Busy, Cross, Pen)- Changed @include behavior. Now the sections that the included file has are inserted at the position where the @include is defined in the .ini file. See @Include for details.
- FreeDiskSpace: Changed the measure to obey user account disk quotas in Windows. A new DiskQuota option will allow disk quotas to be ignored on "free / used" space if set to
DiskQuota=0
.- Made the second parameter of the !ActivateConfig bang optional. If the second parameter is not given, !ActivateConfig will switch to the next variant in the folder.
- !SetOption now supports changing X, Y, Hidden and MeasureName(n) on meters
- Lua: Fixed that GetMeter/GetMeasure/GetVariable functions do not correctly return nil on error.
- Script Measure: Fixed that Initialize() was not called again when the ScriptName is changed dynamically.
