Description

Sepia is a simple skin that shows a live-updating display of any plaintext log. Great for keeping an eye on chat clients like Trillian and mIRC, or Rainmeter's own debug file. The skin will automatically adjust to the width of your desktop work area. Colors, fonts, body & border dimensions, number of lines and scroll direction are all adjustable with user variables. (I may add a proper config skin in a later update, along with some other bells and whistles.)

Be aware of a small glitch: files with fewer than the defined number of lines won't display properly. I'll try to get this fixed in an update as well.

Credits

Sepia makes use of a custom addon, RainLogger, by Jeff Morley (used with his permission), and the free font Geo Sans Light by Manfred Klein.

I'm getting an AutoIt Error. It says Line-1: Error: Subscript used with non-Array variable.

i'm using Rainmeter 2.1.0 beta rev 838.

This usually means that the file it's looking for doesn't exist. If you're certain that's not the case, try setting RainLogger.exe to run as an administrator. (I'd also disable UAC for the purposes of debugging, 'cause otherwise you'll get a popup every 10 seconds.)

OK. I decided to try and make use of this lovely looking skin, but after both downloading it and saving it to my system and installing it, or just installing straight from DA, it shows it is installing into Rainmeter, but it never appears. I searched for it in the actual Skins folder and it's not there, and through Rainmeters own Skin Browser. I just updated to the latest Rainmeter Beta today.

I'm already following your thread on the Rainmeter forums.

This looks great! I noticed you only opened a text file (.log actually). But when I seen it I thought it was an IM chat window. Now, if you could make mirror SKYPEs IM message window, I would always minimize SKYPE and look at it's messsages through your beautiful window instead. Ya, I know that would be next to impossible to do without serious programming knowledge, but we can dream, can't we?

If you use Skype IMs via Trillian, you can do this right now. Just point it to %AppData%\Trillian\SKYPE\Query\[username].log.
