Gcal with time in Rainmeter

Jan 18, 2011

I have been using Rainmeter for some time & have started liking it. But the default Google Calendar reader do not show any information about starting time and ending time of the events. So I modified the default .ini file according to my needs. The difference can be seen in attached pictures.

Notice the time in 3rd row from last. Its NOT perfect. This script fails whenever the event description reads like “Thu Jan 20, 2011 3pm to Thu Jan 20, 2011 5pm PST” instead of “Thu Jan 20, 2011 3pm to 5pm PST”. It is a problem of regular expression. But I guess its sufficient for me. Let me know if you can fix it. The script can be downloaded from here. Copy the file to Gcal folder in Rainmeter skins folder.

This script respects the skin widths defined in the settings of Gnometer. If you are using Gnometer, then go to gnometer settings and change skin width in "Skin Width" tab. (or you can also edit the script directly as described below) Settings can be found here: Right click on any widget > Gnometer > SETTINGS > settings.ini. This will open the gnometer settings.

If you are not using Gnometer, then you can edit the script directly. right click on widget > edit skin. It will open the script in a text editor. Search for "width.Skin" (without quotes) and changes its value to some number like 450. Default value should be #width.Gcal#
