Why Rainmeter?

Rainmeter is a lightweight, customizable widget platform. Rainmeter skins are easily modified scripts, and their .rmskin installers can be opened as zip archives, making them more trustworthy than executables.

Features

  • One-click waypoint link copy with boss name and countdown
  • Countdown and local time
  • Mini mode with next standard and hardcore bosses, with countdowns on mouseover
  • Normal mode with current and next standard bosses, and next hardcore boss
  • Long mode with infinite scrolling
  • 4 size settings corresponding to GW2 interface sizes
  • Mark events as done
  • Automatically reset done status at daily reset
  • Activate audio alerts for events

Usage

  • GW2’s display resolution must be set to “Windowed Fullscreen” or “Window”.
  • Left-click to copy waypoint link to clipboard.
  • Middle-click to toggle event done status.
  • Double-click to toggle audio alert for event.
  • Use controls on bottom bar to change mode/size.

Very good, thank you for sharing it!
I have a little problem, I use your overlay in my second monitor, and I don’t want that it stay always on top of other windows. I can set the position to normal and it works (don’t stay on top), but when I restart windows, the overlay is again on top of every other window. Is there a way to permanently set to normal? I’ve tried to change the rainmeter.ini from alwaysontop=1 to alwaysontop=0 but it change somehow back to 1 on unmount/mont the skin…

Sol Solus.3167:

Ah, sorry, this was deliberate to require one less step for user setup. Change this line:

In GW2WBT.ini:

   [Rainmeter]
   OnRefreshAction=!ZPos 1  <-- erase line so you can use your own setting

Alcarin.9024:

Thank you very much, it worked!

Urquell.1504:
