Countdown in Lua by 66VI Countdown in Lua by 66VI
A countdown timer I made for Rainmeter that uses Lua. By default it is counting down to the BRINK release. The numbers only show up when you hover over the logo, so that they aren't as bothersome.

You can change the date to count down to in the Countdown.ini file, along with the font, color, etc.

You can change the logo by replacing the logo.png with any png image you want (I've only tested it with 64x64 images). I've included a countdown clock icon you can use instead of the BRINK logo.

EDIT:
Update 5/1/11

I added a "Release text" variable, which is what will be displayed when the timer hits 0. I've also fixed the count down because it was off one hour due to day light savings.

66VI I made a small variant for Destiny's release, by removing the hover fnction and making the Timer always visiable and added Zero padding,
I really hope you dont mind me reposting it, and I will be liking back you this anyways.

Nice Work.

And if i want this to count next Draconian album which comes June 24th, is this right:

Month: 6
Day: 24
Hour: 12
Minute: 00

Is this right? Or should i write in day 23? Like this ( June 23, 11:59pm ) Does that count when day 23 ends or when day 24 ends?

Thanx you!

I'm so happy about the date change! :D

To change the date right click on the timer and click "edit skin". Under the "[Variables]" section there is a toYear, ToMonth, toDay, etc. Just change those to the new date.
