HELLO!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thanks for trying out this Rainmeter skin! I must apologzize
|
||
|
|
profusely for the amount of time it took. Creating the entire
|
||
|
|
skin might have taken 30-40 hours (including teaching myself
|
||
|
|
how to even use Rainmeter. Even so, it took way too lont to
|
||
|
|
release. I posted a popular teaser of the skin a very long
|
||
|
|
time ago and it basically went silent after that. I don't want
|
||
|
|
to make excuses, but after having forgotten about the project,
|
||
|
|
I recently got a PM from another reddit user reminding me
|
||
|
|
about this, and so I hopped back on it.
|
||
|
|
I'd also like to thank you guys for giving me so many great
|
||
|
|
ideas about what things to put where. It was difficult deciding
|
||
|
|
what each meter would measure, but you guys came through with
|
||
|
|
some stellar ideas (haha).
|
||
|
|
So here is the product of my work. I hope you enjoy!

SET UP AND POSITIONING
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For those of you first time users of Rainmeter, it's pretty
|
||
|
|
simple to set up. After installing the .rmskin to Rainmeter,
|
||
|
|
it will probably load up a preset layout. To change the
|
||
|
|
positions of the individual meters, just drag them into place.
|
||
|
|
I expect that FTL players will remember the appropriate
|
||
|
|
positions of the different meters. As long as you have the
|
||
|
|
"Snap to edges" option on in the bottom right of the "Manage
|
||
|
|
Rainmeter" window, repositioning should be a piece of cake.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CUSTOMIZING (BUT JUST A LITTLE)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I tried to include at least a bit of customizing in terms of
|
||
|
|
what the different meters measured. For example, you can
|
||
|
|
display 2 drives instead of 4 if you don't think all 4 slots are
|
||
|
|
necessary. If you don't have a laptop, your hull meter at the
|
||
|
|
top left can display RAM or HDD space instead of remaining
|
||
|
|
power.

||
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CREW SHORTCUTS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All info you need about editing the crew shortcut paths, labels,
|
||
|
|
and images is all in the setup file in FTL\Crew\Setup.inc. It
|
||
|
|
can be opened with any text editor

WALLPAPERS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can find a small collection of space wallpapers in the
|
||
|
|
FTL\@Resources\Images\Wallpapers folder, some of which are from
|
||
|
|
reddit. I am working on a "Jump" button so that you can go
|
||
|
|
through the wallpapers at the push of a button, but that's not
|
||
|
|
for this update quite yet. Best thing for now is to set one of
|
||
|
|
those wallpapers slideshows that switches to a new background
|
||
|
|
every hour or so.
|
||
|

|
FINISHING UP
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make sure you have all of your meters right where you want them.
|
||
|
|
Go through all of the meters you loaded, and change their
|
||
|
|
settings (bottom right) so that their position is on the
|
||
|
|
desktop, and they are not draggable.
