Software Update: Rainmeter 3.0 r2012 Beta

A new version from Rainmeter’s 3.0 development has been released. This program can display all kinds of information on the desktop in real time, such as free hard disk space, network activity and whether there is new email. Functional applets can also be used to, for example, make notes or send tweets. Version 3.0 can handle older themes and skins, so the new version can be installed without any worries. The following changes and improvements have been made in the past few releases:

Revision 2012

• [Changed] String meter: Trailing spaces are displayed in the Text option if the value is enclosed in quotes. This was previously changed in D2D, and now has the same behavior in GDI+.
• [Added] !PauseMeasure: New !PauseMeasure, !UnpauseMeasure, and !TogglePauseMeasure scared. This is similar to a disabled measure, however the measure retains its current value instead of changing to zero. Group versions of these bangs also added.
• [Changed] !SetWallpaper: Changed the problem that an image file set with !SetWallpaper would be locked in Windows.
• [Fixed] Rainmeter: Fix for a problem with !DeactivateConfig in a OnCloseAction that could cause high CPU usage.

Revision 1995

• [Changed] Error Logging: Improved the About/Log dialog to better show the source of errors. Where possible, the configskin.ini and meter or measure section producing the error will be displayed.
• [Fixed] String Meter: Corrected a bug where trailing spaces were not displayed when the option value was enclosed in quotes. Text=”Some Trailing spaces” This change is only supported when UseD2D=1 in Rainmeter.ini.
