Different colored text in the same line?

[Hellsrage]

So I just found out about rainmeter and decided to try it out, so far I've started at making something to display the date, and it's almost done but I would like to know if it's possible for me to display the day a different color than the month and year?

Essentially I would like to make the "19" white and also if possible a larger text size?

You can only have one formatting per String meter. If you want different colors/sizes, you have to create multiple string meters and place them next to each other using the "R" option. See here under "X" or "Y": http://rainmeter.net/cms/Meters-GeneralSettings_beta

Dammit, I already forgot about "R".

Well, one last question for now, and really it's just to be sure what I'm thinking is correct, since R makes it relative, it will stay aligned when the months change right?

As long as you don't set the width of the month meter explicitly, it will change its size dynamically with the length of the string, so anything positioned right of it via "R" will also adjust its position.

It is also possible to make a meter "relative" to another meter even if the second meter doesn't come right after the first in the .ini file (which is the basic functionality of "r" and "R").

This can be accomplished with Section Variables

Update for people who search this on google.
There is a solution to do it without other meters.
You can use the "InlinePattern" to attribute regex expression to set differents formats

You can find all the informations and example here :

Right, however this is a quite old feature. It has been introduced almost 9 years ago, in 2015.

Still worth a mention.
