Hey guys,

I was wondering if there was a rainmeter that served as a roulette wheel. Something you can customize each space which the pointer can land on. I thought this could be an interesting "to do" list of sorts. I've been searching for a while now and no luck.

That's really an interesting idea. I guess it's certainly doable, but it might be complicated if you do it in a very customizable way. Perhaps someone will take on the challenge. Perhaps even me, but I can't guarantee anything...

As MerlinTheRed says, this is eminently doable. All you'd need is a Rotator meter controlled by a couple of Calc measures with a Random seeds to set the number of spins and the winning number. The fun bit would be getting the ball to slow down and maybe even bounce a bit as it gets close to stopping.

rather an image meter (so it an have different states as distance from the center) and rotate this image meter with a transformation matrix.

If you want to have changing text dependent on your current to do notes you'd also need to place string meters and rotate them with the rest.
