Rainmeter 3.3.0

  -  2.3 MB  -  Open Source

Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system. Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Rainmeter 3.3.0.

What's new in this version:

Inline options:
- Added new Inline Options features to the String meter. This will allow "inline" formatting of part or all of a string, and adds several new formatting options including a color gradient

Loop measure:
- Added new Loop measure. This will create a looping counter between two numbers. The loop will start at StartValue, end at EndValue, increment by Increment, and will loop LoopCount (or endless) times

"Best" network values:
- Net measures: Changed the values accepted for the Interface option to accept new values of "Best", which will automatically use the active network interface, or a string value of the name of the desired Network Interface Controller (NIC)
- SysInfo plugin: Changed the values accepted for the SysInfoData option with network related SysInfoType options to accept new values of "Best", which will automatically use the active network interface, or a string value of the name of the desired Network Interface Controller (NIC)

ActionTimer plugin:
- Added the ActionTimer plugin to the Rainmeter build. This plugin can be used to support animations and meter transitions

RunCommand plugin:
- Added the RunCommand plugin to the Rainmeter build. This plugin can be used to execute and obtain values from external commands and programs

SkinWidth / SkinHeight:
- Added new SkinWidth and SkinHeight options to the [Rainmeter] section of a skin. This will constrain the skin to the dimensions defined, either the width, the height, or both. Any meter or part of a meter positioned outside the defined boundaries will be truncated. DynamicWindowSize will be ignored for the defined dimension(s), and meters that would normally display even "outside" the skin will be truncated by the "fixed" skin dimensions.
- This can be very useful for having some meter(s) initially defined outside the left/top/right/bottom boundaries of the skin, and then pop or slide into view on mouse or measure actions

Skin installer plugin version:
- The Skin Installer application, used to install .rmskin files in Rainmeter, has been modified so it will by default not replace a newer version of an included 3rd-party plugin with an older version. This is based on the "File version" information in the compiled .dll file(s), and is to protect users from having an old plugin in a .rmskin replace a newer version
- It is very important that all 3rd-party plugin authors keep up-to-date with version information in their plugin releases. Going forward, if an author releases a new version of their plugin, but doesn't change the version number information in the .dll, it will not be installed by Rainmeter if the end-user already has the older version of the plugin

Important Note about HWiNFO:
- If you are using the HWiNFO plugin for Rainmeter, you must upgrade to the latest 3.0 version of the plugin and SharedMemoryViewer.exe found in that post. If you have distributed skins using the plugin, you should update them for your users. Skins using older versions of the HWiNFO plugin may fail when users upgrade to Rainmeter 3.3

Other enhancements and fixes in Rainmeter 3.3:
- Upgraded the project to use the latest Visual Studio 2015 for development
- Added some additional Time measure Format Codes, made possible by the upgrade of the Rainmeter project to Visual Studio 2015. This also corrects some issues with existing codes like %p and a change to %z
- Added a value of Genre to the NowPlaying PlayerType option. This option value is currently supported with the AIMP, CAD, iTunes, WMP and WinAmp PlayerName values
- Modified the Time column in the About / Log panel to use the current time in Hours, Minutes, Seconds and Milliseconds rather than elapsed time since Rainmeter was started
- Corrected an issue in an Image meter where removing a MaskImageName with !SetOption was not possible
- Corrected an issue with IfMatch where doing a match on a measure that has returned no string value could crash Rainmeter
- Corrected an issue where some Unicode characters in a text file read by the Quote plugin could be mistaken for an end-of-file control character and truncate the returned string
- Added support for Windows 10 to the SysInfo SysInfoType=OS_VERSION
- Corrected an issue where removing a ToolTipTitle with !SetOption would not work, and an issue where a dynamic value for a ToolTipTitle would be one skin update behind
- Changed the maximum number of ContextTitleN / ContextActionN pairs from 15 to 25
- Corrected an issue where WebParser could not read a local file if it was locked open by some other process
