Rainmeter skin to set background: Random Wallpaper for Rainmeter
Image taken from: Unsplash

Replace your boring digital clock with inspiring and entertaining quotes from literature..
What's more, it also changes color based on your desktop background!


How to use:


Install Rainmeter from here
Download this github repo as a zip file
Extract the zip file and copy the contents to your Rainmeter/Skins/ folder
Go to rainmeter and load the litclock.ini file

If the font seems too large/small click the 'Edit' option in Rainmeter and increase/desrease the 'Scale' variable and see the changes.

That's it. Enjoy!

This project is inspired by: Literature Clock

I have borrowed some resources from:
1. Library to decode HTML encoded text: htmlEntities
2. Library to parse json files: dkjson
3. Library for dynamically changing font colors w.r.t. the background: Chameleon (This a lovely plugin! I can't appreciate it enough)
4. Quotes: Literature Clock - Github


P.S. This is my very first project for Rainmeter as well as in Lua so feel free to suggest any improvements! :)
