Er is een nieuwe bètarelease van Rainmeter versie 2.4 uitgekomen. Met dit programma kan in realtime allerlei 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. In deze release zijn de volgende veranderingen doorgevoerd:
Revision 1593
- Added new [Meter:]/[Measure:] Section Variables functionality.
We have added new functionality we are calling Section Variables to provide skins with some new dynamic information about meters and measures.
For meters, we are exposing the X/Y/W/H values in a dynamic way, which can be used in formulas to accurately size meters based on the actual width and height of other meters, as well as adding additional flexibility for relative positioning of meters.
For measures, we are adding the ability to obtain the numeric value of a measure using the number modifiers only available within a meter today. Now you can use the numeric value of a measure in a formula with the power of defining the number of decimal places to use, scaling by any desired value, and converting the number to a percentage.
All of these Section Variables require that the meter or measure using them have DynamicVariables=1 on it.- Fixed bugs with a missing tray icon in some cases on startup, and when TrayMeasure options are reloaded.
- Meters: Fixed a problem with resizing of certain meters with !SetOption.
- Lua: ReplaceVariables() now also replaces section variables.
