Binary Clock
a Rainmeter clock skinIf you don't know binary, see this Wikipedia article for how to read the time using these skins: [link]
The package includes four versions - binary-coded decimal in HH/MM/SS or HH/MM, and binary-coded sexagecimal (base 60) in H/M/S or H/M. Because the skin is displayed using only Roundline meters (no static images), the sizes, spacing, and colors are all adjustable; use the file "...Skins\Binary_Clock\Appearance.txt" to change the settings.

And my desktop looks like this
Great skin. Seems a lot like mine [link] , but your coding is so much better, and the dots are populated programatically. I'd like to be able to do this, but rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Some Day.
I took the approach I did so that the skin would be more flexible - there were already several nice binary clocks available (like yours/helkin's), but using images is harder to customize.
It shouldn't be too hard to rotate it - it might even be easier than the original since the X starting position for all of the one's place circles will be the same. (If you want a little more insight into how my scaling calculations worked, scroll down to the Auto Scaling section in here: [link])
Use the file "...\Rainmeter\Skins\Binary_Clock\Appearance.txt" "Hour0" is the color for the hour dots when inactive, "Hour1" is the color for the hour dots when active, and so on for the minutes and seconds. The color codes work like this: Rainmeter Manual - Color Codes
So to change the color for the "lit" minutes, change "Min1=0,0,0,200" to "Min1=(whatever numbers you want)", save the file, and refresh the clock skin.
Hope that helps.
So could anyone help me to make such a tho-lines widget for CPU or RAM?
The skin is fucking awesome
I've been really busy recently and things will be pretty crammed for a few weeks with schoolwork, but if you haven't figured it out yet when I get some free time, I'll have a go at it and post some code. Should be pretty simple depending on how you want to represent the numbers.
The semester is almost over for me, so in a week or two from now I can post a more thorough examination of the algorithm and some example code, but still busy right now.
Thanks for your patience.
Is that possibe that you'll create a 1/0 version?
Hmmm... that's possible. I haven't got the free time right now, but a few weeks from now maybe. Were you thinking 1's and 0's arranged in a sort of grid like the dots are now, or text like a digital clock (001000:101010)?
Thanks alot!
That was one of my goals; there are already several Rainmeter Binary clocks: [link]
...but none of them were customizable like this.
My calc measures actually return the 1s and 0s for the various places of the binary number, so the code can be reused pretty easily.
(1 line H, 1 line M, and 1 line S - all in 6 bits)
There are no clocks like this...
Thanks
very cool

(The last one was from Mandolux, but I can't track down the original page so I re-uploaded the highest rez I have.)
