Sorry I was offline most of the night bro!----I'm working on them now; have been for a couple of hours....Boy, this is turning out to be a LOT more difficult than I thought!:worried:

:shocked:OMG.....I think I bit off more than I can chew bro! LOL! I tried for 2 hours to get these fans right.....AAAggghhh!-----Ready to pull my hair out!
I should have known there was going to be some serious MATH involved. Nothing is ever "as easy as pie", except damned pie, right?! LOL! I tried all I knew to do with the coding, but, like you, I'm missing something here. The images of course were the easy part, right? LOL!
But the .ini file codings are a m.f.!!!!!------Please just be patient bro; surely someone else with more knowledge in RM skins and mathematics will see this and help us out. Sorry I failed. Maybe someone at DeviantArt can help you. Check with this gal: Indigo-Glow (http://indigo-glow.deviantart.com/) ....She's into RainMeter-skins, and is pretty smart with the coding.

Also, please keep me updated!, and thanks 4 the Friend Request! (I added you, of course):Peace:

I was getting the fan spinning around within the bg, but not rotating! LOL! What part of the code controlled that action m8?

Well I had this problem with the exact same rainmeter skin and fixed it a while back. I didn't need to go into notepad all that often to change it. I just had to go into photoshop and re-size the images accordingly. The problem you might have had is that you can't trim the image. You have to open the original image and the resize it and leave the background space in it. That was easier for me. Although if you decide to trim the images it will look different because the code in notepad has set x and y cood and set height and width dimensions so it causes the problem you described where the fan will spin around the background instead of rotating.

Hi Swirlman1 is right, just edit it in photoshop and make the same changes in the text settings :Peace:

Huh. I did do it in PS......But I also tampered with the code, so that may have been why I had such problems.....I changed the "H" and "W" to fit the sizes of the modified images.....Oh well, you live and learn!

Hey it's cool bro. You're an awesome designer and you know a lot more than I do about photoshop, some things are just a lot more simple than they seem.
