Update: Enigma 3.1 (11 August 2011)

Alright, time to start getting the new stuff out there! There are still a handful of changes and additions that I hope to make before the public release of Rainmeter 2.1 (anticipated to drop this September), but this is the bulk of it, and I'm as pleased with this one as I was with 3.0, if not moreso.

Here are some of the highlights:

• Global mouse actions no longer discriminate against people who don't have middle mouse buttons. You can now double-click to switch skin variants, and middle-click to refresh any skin.

• The Options skin has been moved to the main folder, so it's easier to find. It's also been improved in numerous ways. The new "About" tab displays your current Enigma version, several contact/support links, and even tells you if an update is available, like the old "Home" skin used to. Each tab also allows you to restore defaults for that tab by double-clicking a button. Options which require a file path also let you select files from an Open File dialog instead of manually typing or pasting the path, courtesy of RainFile.

• The Stylesheet system has been refined in numerous ways, thanks to some helpful feedback from aspiring third-party skinners. Among other things, two of the Options tabs - "Format" and "Layout" - can now be completely rewritten by third-party stylers, so you're no longer limited to my choice of color, font and image variables.

• As for the default styles, Enigma Dark and Enigma Light, I've added options to toggle sidebar borders (both top and bottom), and to adjust sidebar and taskbar transparency. (Of course, you can also change transparency of any skin through its context menu. However, doing it through Options will make the bars' Aero Blur effects show up much better.)

• The Music skin is easier to configure: instead of typing the name of your media player, you can now simply select one from a list. The new dedicated "Music" tab in Options also means it will be easy to patch Enigma in between updates, as poiru's NowPlaying plugin continues to improve and expand support for new players. In addition, I added a new variant to the sidebar Music skin, which expands the album art to the full sidebar width, just like the Gallery skin.

• Speaking of the Gallery skin, I've added controls and a filename display, which appear on mouseover.

• The Calendar skins have been greatly improved, courtesy of some Lua magic by smurfier, one of our most valuable (and prolific) contributors. The skin now loads instantly, and new options allow you to add leading zeroes to single-digit dates, and choose whether weeks begin on Sunday or Monday - both much-requested features.

• The Reader skins have benefited from our new universal feed reader script. The same script can now automatically detect RSS, Atom, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Remember The Milk list feed formats.

• The Notes skin has also been cleaned up, thanks to yet another helpful Lua script. You no longer need to specify the title of each notepad; the skin now automatically detects the name of your notes files. In addition, I've added individual Note skins for those who don't need or want all three rotating files.

• I've added a Volume skin that lets you raise, lower or mute your Windows Vista/7 system volume in one click.

• Added CPU temperature skins, using Rainmeter's existing CoreTemp plugin. (This does still require the actual CoreTemp tray application to be running in the background.)

• I also expanded the Search skins - there are now five, and they are all customizable from the Options skin in exactly the same way as the Launcher skins are.

• The System and Network sidebar skins now both have "normal" and "graph" variants. By default, the graph variant for System shows CPU activity on your first two processor cores.

• The Drive skins now indicate when a drive is not present or has been removed.

• The Weather configs now has a proper sidebar-style skin, which can be toggled to show an expanded display of detailed meteorological information: pressure, humidity, wind speed/direction, and more. All via Yahoo! Weather, as before.

Description

Enigma is one of the first fully-featured "suites" for the Windows system monitoring application, Rainmeter. Created in 2008, the suite has been through many evolutions, and remains popular to this day. It includes numerous contributions from members of the Rainmeter and broader Windows customizing communities.

Reception

Enigma has been downloaded over 330,000 times alone, and over 2 million times bundled with Rainmeter, which chose Enigma as its default theme in 2009. It has been featured several times by Lifehacker, Windows Magazine and Computer Bild, and spent over two years as the #1 most popular work in deviantArt's Skins and Themes category.

Features

Enigma is for the minimalist, putting flexibility and customization at the core of its design:
• Modular stylesheets allow you to customize fonts, colors, and even the size and shape of your skins. New stylesheets can be created and applied instantly - no need to edit dozens of files.
• Skins are optimized for a "taskbar" or "sidebar" layout. Bar sizes can be adjusted, and skins will automatically adapt to fit. There is even an optional button to hide and reveal the sidebar and all docked skins.
• Most skins cycle through up to six variations on middle-click.
• Dedicated Options config lets you set personal preferences from within Rainmeter. The current skin installer will keep all of your preferences when upgrading or reinstalling.
• Main control panel checks for updates and notifies you when they are available.
• Includes the full range of standard Rainmeter skins, including clocks, notepads, calendars, RSS/Atom feed readers, weather, media player controls, Facebook, Twitter and Remember the Milk displays, recycle bin, network activity, and system resource monitors.
• Also includes three premade themes, which resize themselves to fit your screen resolution.

Enigma now has an official support thread on Rainmeter.net. I request that you please post your questions in the support thread, instead of the comments on this page. And make sure to check the FAQ and Known Issues lists in that thread. Thanks!

Enigma by ~Kaelri If it wasn't for spinegrinder, I wouldn't have seen this. I can't believe I missed it. If you don't have this awesome suite, then I can't believe you either :p ( Suggested by $spinegrinder and Featured by `mrrste )

Okay, I'm a noob at this stuff, but how do you set your location for the weather?

~pbf98 4 days ago

I've been using this since July and love it, but the calendar is not working for the month of February.
And also is there a way to get one of the shortcuts to act as a windows start menu button? I am running xp and what I have found has not worked

There is currently a small issue with the LuaCalendar script that Enigma uses. Please consider using the LuaCalendar skin instead. It has a style sheet included made just for Enigma.

Great job!
I really like your minimalistic design.

But I get an error when I load calendar skin:

line 71: attempt to compare nil with number

(I'm using rainmeter 2.2.0 r1116 on win7x64 and winxp, this happens with x32 and x64 versions)

It happens only on February month, because in calendar.lua tCurrMonth and tPrevMonth arrays use iFeb variable before it is declared.

The only solution I found was copy iFeb declaration before tCurrMonth array declaration (line 24) and remove "local" in original iFeb declaration in Update function.

I'm not an expert of how lua works, and I'm not sure what will be happen when calendar go to march 1. Maybe it will be necessary update tCurrMonth and tPrevMonth arrays after iFeb update.

~Crsarts 4 days ago

In calendar.lua (Enigma\Resources\Measures) after (line 8)
sRange = PROPERTIES.Range

add
local iYear = os.date("%Y")
local iFeb = 28+((iYear%4)==0 and 1 or 0)
