Download Rainmeter 3.3 r2461 beta

A new beta release of Rainmeter version 3.3 has been released. This program can display all kinds of useful, but also less meaningful information on the desktop in real time, such as free hard drive space, network activity and whether there is new e-mail. Functional applets can also be used to, for example, make notes or send tweets. Since build 2438, several versions have been released and the following changes and improvements have been made:

Added

• Skins: Added new SkinWidth and SkinHeight option to the [Rainmeter] section of a skin. This will constrain the skin to the dimensions defined, either the width, the height, or both. Any meter or part of a meter positioned outside the defined boundaries will be truncated. DynamicWindowSize will be ignored for the defined dimension(s), and meters that would normally display even “outside” the skin will be truncated by the “fixed” skin dimensions.
  This can be very useful for having some meter(s) initially defined outside the left/top/right/bottom boundaries of the skin, and then pop or slide into view on mouse or measure actions.
  As with all options set in the [Rainmeter] section of the skin, these options cannot be dynamically changed.
  An example skin demonstrating how this might be used is at Change Announcements.

Changed

• PCRE library: Updated the PCRE library to version 8.37. Also added the UTF-16 version of the library files, and changed all Rainmeter functionality to use the UTF-16 libraries.

Fixed

• IfActions: Corrected an issue with IfMatch where doing a match on a measure that has returned no string value could crash Rainmeter.
• Skin Installer: Corrected an issue with the comparison of plugin versions when multiple plugins were included in the .rmskin.
• String meter: Corrected an issue with InlineSetting=GradientColor where the gradient did not properly react to relative positioning dynamically changing the meter position.
• WebParser: Fixed a bug introduced in r2455 that caused grandparent > parent > child measures to fail RegExp.
• String meter: Additional corrections to the Inline Options settings. Fixed an issue when Unicode characters were embedded in the string.
