OK, I am an idiot [well, newbie to this, first time with rainmeter] so I downloaded it, installed it and nothing. So ... what the heck do I do? I have logged into GW2 and nothing is new onscreen, nothing is new on my 'desktop equivalent' other than the base rainmeter stuff [clock, system and disc] 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It should have autoloaded in the top left corner of your desktop on your primary monitor after installation. If not, look in Manage (left-click Rainmeter's system tray icon) for "GW2 World Boss Timer" and load the only .ini file inside.
Once you have found it, click the arrow on the bottom bar to toggle topmost.
If you installed the portable version of Rainmeter on Windows 8 and put the skins folder somewhere other than your user folder, you will not be able to save settings, but it should still load.

the idea is simple, I already download the map for the bounty, the rescale and store them in a folder in documents / rainmeter / skins. But since I can not program the function, simply store them as separate skins, then I right click to view the clock heads, and there rainmeter / skins / and active as separate skins.
The idea is a browser for these images (which are maps of the bounty) and so we can look at ways of bounty in game assets. Here's a photo for you to have an idea more or less

I may do something, though I would prefer to redraw the paths as the commonly used ones have inconsistent styles. It will take a back seat to my current WvW WIP, of course, but this could borrow a lot from that.

You're the technical hehe, you mention the. Jpg webpage dulfy exemplary but you see more or less the idea, because with this one goal would avoid having to switch windows to follow a head bounty, that we have computers for low-income is mortal.
I thank you for the time you spend on these things, which are very useful for all.

I would like to get in touch with you to see if you are interested in doing something about the bounty missions clan, since I have more or less armed the idea but my java is childish or level zero, lol, so able to you what you can do. Greetings and thanks for the contribution (google traslator ^^)

I love this script. I had translated into French full and I had the opportunity to change the alert sound. I also changed the color of the line where the alarm is activated in a red gradient. The text of the boss already too.
But since the change timer by Arena, I have great difficulty, I could change the hours but there is now the world bosses that are separate and I do not see how to add in addition to others.

Times have changed, does this automatically correct itself or will you need to update it.
