You can change the justification of most text to left by finding the command line that writes the text, such as:

Code Select Expand

text,51,12,Temperature:,l

and making sure "l" (left) is selected and not "c" (center) or "r" (right).  There's no global command to left justify all text in a skin.

I'm not sure if this is even possible, but how about adding the battery & mem/sto meters to the launcher bar since it is always visible?

It would be great to see those meters at a glance without having to open the main big clock region.

Just a thought.

BTW - I sent a few pm's on the same subject, but I'm not sure if they are going through.

Never able to resist a challenge, I thought I'd see if I could work this out.  As ever, I didn't bother to try it out before I let you test it

Find the following:

Code Select Expand

region,5,0,-1
and replace it with

Code Select Expand

region,5,0,10
to ensure that your bars get updated.

Then, find the line:

Code Select Expand

image,0,0,background_quicklaunch.bmp,t
and replace it with:

Code Select Expand

image,0,0,background_quicklaunch.bmp,t
battery,bar,26,1,189,1,gradient_red-green gradient.png
memory,barused,26,21,189,1,gradient_green-red gradient.png

That should put a 1 pixel bar at top (battery) and bottom (prog/storage memory) of your quicklauncher.  If it's too narrow, you could make it 2 pixels by using:

Code Select Expand

image,0,0,background_quicklaunch.bmp,t
battery,bar,26,0,189,2,gradient_red-green gradient.png
memory,barused,26,21,189,2,gradient_green-red gradient.png
but that would somewhat mess with the shadows.

Let me know if it works  

[JS]

Gotta love this forum and program.  The help here is wonderful  .

arbitrajeu -

The suggestions worked great!  I made a few modifications:
1)  Switched battery line to bottom of launcher and memory to top
2)  Used the 2 pixel height as you suggested
3)  Modified the launcher bar - made top bar wider to match bottom
4)  Needed to move the top memory image up so I used 26,0,189,1 (vs. 26,1,189,1) --> complete guess there but it seems to have worked!
5)  I modified the Wisbar background image as well (more like hacked it up) to make it fill out the left screen (vs. black).

* One other request?  Notice in the screenshot that PI Today is right up against the bottom of the launcher.  What changes can I make to add a couple pixels there so I have a small gap after Today Plus?

Anyway, here is my current screen - Today Plus Logika Complete, Wisbar Advance w/Logika Skin & PI Today by Deje.

Thanks for the assistance.

JS. Great modification. Could you share your Skin file? Thx!

Well, if there were extensive changes to rbg08's original skin, I guess I could, but really I only made a few lines of changes as arbitrajeu suggested and it works well.

To modify the original skin, simply cut/copy the bold portions below into the QUICK LAUNCHER section (toward bottom of skin file) of the original skin:

//region,5,0,-1  --> I left this in and commented it out (//), delete if you want
region,5,0,10
defregion,5,0,0,240,23,1
offset,offset_-1,offset_-1
updateregions,4,7

image,0,0,background_quicklaunch(2).bmp,t
memory,barused,26,0,189,2,gradient_green-red gradient.png
battery,bar,26,21,189,2,gradient_red-green gradient.png

* You can change the #2's above (next to gradient) to 1 if you like a thinner meter.

You will also need to place the 2 png files (zip attached) into the Logika Complete-3D folder for the meters to show.

Hope that helps

JS, I like your idea!    I got your PM's late last night, but didn't get a chance to respond.  Thanks, arbitrajeu, for your help on this subject.  I had already toyed with the idea of adding battery and memory meters into the QuickLaunch area, but couldn't figure how to make them fit and look good at the same time.  Good work.

For those interested, I updated the Logika Complete skin to allow the agenda section to be hidden by rotating through the agenda screens (now numbered 1-3) until "/" is displayed.  I also made a few minor adjustments including only displaying 1 decimal space for memory used:

Like I said, fun stuff!!  I really don't have a handle on much of Today Plus - just enough to be dangerous.  Just thanks again for all here who are willing to help me "hack" up your great work  .

BTW - rbg08, do you have a quick fix for me to add a few pixels of blank space right under the Quick Launcher section?  I have tried changing/deleting about everything I can and haven't figured it out.  I would truly feel Logika "COMPLETE" if you could help me with this one  .

Thanks!

rbg08: Did you include the battery/memory bar like JS idea in this new skin?

rbg08: Did you include the battery/memory bar like JS idea in this new skin?

No, I didn't.  This update was completed a couple days ago and so it dosen't include JS' battery/memory bars.  His idea is easy enough to implement for those who want it.  The next version of this skin may include a similar idea.

Sure thing.  Just add the amount you want added under the QuickLauncher to "maxheight", "height", and the following bolded code:

//////////////////////////////////////////
//////// QUICK LAUNCHER
//////////////////////////////////////////

region,5,0,-1
defregion,5,0,0,240,23,1

...

offsetadd,0,23
endregion,5,0

//////////////////////////////////////////
//////// END QUICK LAUNCHER
//////////////////////////////////////////

[JS]

Thanks rbg08!

I was missing the last offsetadd line change, but this works great.

The help is appreciated.

JS, rgb08:

I took your advise and implement to my "modified" calendar skin. I'd like to use only 1 thin line for battery bar. The result shows 1 purple line. Please tell me what is wrong!

region,5,0,5
defregion,5,0,0,240,2,1
offset,offset_-1,offset_-1

battery,bar,0,0,240,2,red-green gradient.png

color,font,-1_4_-1
changefont,tahoma,12,
offsetadd,0,2
endregion,5,0
