Rainmeter To-Do

While searching for a Rainmeter todo skin for my personal needs, I found a skin named rainmeter-todo-list. This project has been developed based on rainmeter-todo-list. I developed this code with various performance fixes and features (delete, order, trash etc...).

Preview

Features

• Add Task
• Delete Task
• Reorder Task
• Mark the task as recurring (R) and important (I)
• Recover deleted tasks
• The completed task looks opaque

Installing

• Download and place entire rainmeter-todo folder in your Rainmeter skins location
• Activate rainmeter-todo skin
  • You can do this by right-clicking on an already active skin to bring up the Rainmeter menu
  • Navigate to Rainmeter > Skins > rainmeter-todo > todo > todo.ini
    • If you do not see rainmeter-todo in the skin selection, try navigating to Rainmeter > Refresh all

Usage

Editing Directly

In an emergency, you may want to edit the task file manually. For this, you must first know the structure of the task file.

• In the first line of the tasks.txt file, there is task|x|x information. This line should never be deleted. The program accepts this line as the title.

• Each line in the file is a task.

• Task's information is separated by | character. The attribute belonging to a column is shown in the table below.

  • 1	2	3	4
    Task Text	Is Completed	Is Recurring	Is Important

    For example, a completed and important task would look like this task title|x||x

    If it's just a completed task, it's look like task title|x||

Sync With Multiple Device

Added and deleted tasks are stored on a file basis. Since there is no database connection, you can use programs such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive to synchronize between multiple devices.

• Go to rainmeter-todo folder in your Rainmeter skins location
• Start the sync process for the todo folder through the cloud program you use.

Settings & Notes

• In the @Resources/MeasureDynamicTasks.lua file, you can make the following settings.
  • WHITE_COLOR : Task text color
  • OPAQUE_WHITE_COLOR : Completed text color
  • TRASH_LIMIT : By default, the trash bin keeps the last 10 deleted tasks. You can change this limit.
• You can't delete the recurring tasks.
