Added MeterStyle functionality:

Browse Source 
Rainy, given the "issues" listed at the bottom of this comment, I leave it to you whether to create a build using this revision or use r208 for the build.  I would like to start testing MeterStyle, but there are a few more things it needs work on.

What is MeterStyle?

MeterStyle
This will allow users to create CSS-like "Styles" for meters. This means that all the parameters of a meter can be defined in the style, and then many meters can use the style to eliminate copy / pasting the same parameters over and over on multiple meters. (Examples: FontColor=, FontSize= etc.)

How do I use it?

You will create a new [Section] (as many as you want) in the .ini. The section(s) can have any name.

[MyStringStyle]

Then you will tell Rainmeter that this is a "MeterStyle" and not a measure or meter

Style=Meter

Note: The "value" of the key "Style" can be anything. It can be used to add a description of the style if you like. Style=This style is for the AccuWeather part of this skin
It is however required, both to tell Rainmeter it is not a meter or measure and to have the MeterStyle routines parse it.

Then you define parameters you want to use in the style

FontColor=#FontColor#
FontFace=TheSansBold-Caps
FontSize=11
StringEffect=SHADOW
StringStyle=BOLD
StringAlign=LEFT
AntiAlias=1

Then in any or all meters, you just use

[MeterName]
Meter=STRING (or any other meter type)
MeterStyle=MyStringStyle

None of the parameters in the style are then required to be actually in the meter(s). They are "inherited" from the MeterStyle.

Note: This works and has had preliminary testing with dynamic variables like FontColor=[MeasureName] and regular variables like FontColor=#FontColor#. It doesn't matter if the [Variables] section or the [MeasureName] measure is before or after the [StyleName] in the .ini file.

What if I want to override a MeterStyle parameter on a meter?

Sure. Just put in any parameter with a value different from the one defined in the MeterStyle and the one in the meter will take presidence. All non-defined parameters will still use the MeterStyle value.

[MeterName]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=MyStringStyle
FontColor=100,100,100,50

What are these "known issues" you are on about?

This is still a bit of a work in progress. Right now you cannot define X or Y in a style. You can define W and H, but NOT for a STRING meter. You cannot define a "Transformation Matrix" in a style. MattKing will be looking into these tomorrow. W and H in a string meter is our top priority. We will also look at X and Y and hope for an easy solution. Transformation Matrix may have to come later.
