Changing settings

How to access and modify the Mondtholomew variables file.

Accessing the settings

To access the variables file, right click any Mondtholomew skin and choose "Edit variables"

Changing the variables

The variables file is just a text file. You can type or copy paste values in it.

The variables are grouped, so every option that affects the clock is under the CLOCK header. The headers might appear broken in some text editors. Some variables like the colors have skin specific overrides to let you have different colours for each of the skins. By default, every skin uses the shared color options found at the top of the variables file.

Applying the changes

Save the file (ctrl + S) then right click any Mondtholomew skin and choose "Refresh Mondtholomew". This loads your new settings to all of the Mondtholomew skins.

Commonly changed settings

Below are the most commonly changed Mondtholomew settings

Changing the clock font

If you just installed Mondtholomew, you can right click the clock and choose the last option. This is a one-time-use option.

The variable ClockFont can be changed back to Quicksand to revert this. You may use any font that's installed on your computer. You can get font names from notepads font selector, or by double clicking the font file. You may also add fonts to just Mondtholomew by moving the font file into @Resources\Fonts.

Changing the colors

Change MainColor and AccentColor in the variables file to an RGB color code. You can find the codes with a color picker.

Size

You can resize any Mondtholomew skin by putting your mouse on top of it and scrolling up or down.

12h time

The time format is determined by MeasureTimeFormat.

12h time format example:

MeasureTimeFormat=- %I : %M %p -

You can read more about the available Formats in the Rainmeter manual

Changing the clock language

Change the LanguageCode from Local to any of the valid locale codes to force the clock to use another language. en-US is American English.

Note: the included fonts don't have great support for characters outside of the latin alphabet.

Removing parts of the clock

The settings file has the format codes for each of the lines of the clock.

MeasureTimeFormat=- %H : %M -
MeasureDateFormat=%d %B, %Y
MeasureDayFormat=%A

If for example you wanted to remove the time and date and only leave the day visible, change the corresponding formats to " ".

MeasureTimeFormat=" "
MeasureDateFormat=" "
MeasureDayFormat=%A

You need to use specifically " " not "" or because Rainmeter treats the last two as empty values. And empty values make the Time measures use the default format of %H:%M:%S. So if you want the format to be empty, use " "
