Images plugin help

Download plugin

Display images in your coolmon config (Supports: jpg, bmp, gif, png, and ico).

Parameter explanation:
  • BackgroundColor : Obvious. (req)
  • PathType : Specifies if the image is local or on the net. Set to 'Local' if the image is on your HDD (or such). Set to 'Network' if the image resides off in the net somewhere. (req)
  • ImageFile : *Filename of image to display. (req)
  • Fit : None|Stretch|Center|Tile. Fairly self-explanatory. (req)
  • SaveNetImageAs : Path and name of file to save an image dowloaded from the net locally. (opt, but you must supply if PathType is set to 'Network')
  • NetImageUpdateInterval : Net image download interval in minutes. Default is 30 minutes. If set lower than five minutes it will reset to default. :P (opt)
  • ImagePath : *Path to ImageFile. Don't forget to end your path with a backslash ('\'). (opt)
  • ImageExt : *Extension of ImageFile (.png, .jpg, etc...). (opt)

    * Note:
    You can put the entire 'x:\path\to\image.ext' into the ImageFile parameter. But, if you are trying to do something like display a "Condition" image from Bob_2k's Weather.com script then read on...
    ImageFile, ImagePath, and ImageExt are concatenated like so: Path + File + Ext
    <BackGroundColor>clBlack</BackgroundColor>
<PathType>Local</PathType>
<ImageFile>
     <Sensor name="Filedata.Filedata" update="1" dedicated="Yes">
          <Parameters>
               <Filename>x:\pathto\weatherdotcom\weather.com.txt</Filename>
               <Line>35</Line>
          </Parameters>
     </Sensor>
</ImageFile>
<Fit>None</Fit>
<ImagePath>x:\pathto\weatherdotcom\images\32x32\</ImagePath>
<ImageExt>.png</ImageExt>
