Been having some bad luck lately so thought I would spruce things up a bit with a helpful tip.
I saw the post from <jsmorley https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=16758> regarding bar meters and how to get a gradient by using an image. I thought I would share a trick I learned from programming the Windows API some time back.
If you flip the meters orientation (Flip=1) and you reverse the logic for the bound Measure, you can also reverse BarColor and SolidColor and then gain another color to use via SolidColor2. See below illustration.
It's just an illusion but the visual effect is strong enough to fool most...
Cheers!
