Available patterns

The top line, bottom line, middle line (Windows 10 only), and tooltip extra line can be configured with text that contains patterns. The following patterns can be used:

• %time% - the time as configured by the time format in settings.
  • %time<n>% - additional time formats, specified by separating multiple formats with ; in the time format setting. <n> is the additional time format number, starting with 2.
  • %time_tz<n>% - the time with a custom time zone. <n> is the time zone number in the list of time zones configured in the mod settings (not Windows settings).
• %date% - the date as configured by the date format in settings.
  • %date<n>% - additional date formats, specified by separating multiple formats with ; in the date format setting. <n> is the additional date format number, starting with 2. Each date format can have its own locale; refer to the date locale setting for details.
  • %date_tz<n>% - the date with a custom time zone. <n> is the time zone number in the list of time zones configured in the mod settings (not Windows settings).
• %weekday% - the week day as configured in settings.
  • %weekday_tz<n>% - the week day with a custom time zone. <n> is the time zone number in the list of time zones configured in the mod settings (not Windows settings).
• %weekday_num% - the week day number according to the first day of the week system configuration. For example, if the first day of the week is Sunday, then the week day number is 1 for Sunday, 2 for Monday, ..., 7 for Saturday.
• %weeknum% - the week number, calculated as follows: The week containing 1 January is defined as week 1 of the year. Subsequent weeks start on the first day of the week according to the system configuration.
• %weeknum_iso% - the ISO week number.
• %dayofyear% - the day of the year, where January 1st is day 1.
• %timezone% - the time zone in ISO 8601 format.
• System performance metrics:
  • %upload_speed% - system-wide upload transfer rate.
  • %download_speed% - system-wide download transfer rate.
  • %total_speed% - combined upload and download transfer rate.
  • %disk_read% - disk read speed.
  • %disk_write% - disk write speed.
  • %disk_total% - combined disk read and write speed.
  • %cpu% - CPU usage.
  • %ram% - RAM usage.
  • %ram_used% - used RAM amount in GB.
  • %ram_total% - total RAM amount in GB.
  • %ram_committed% - committed RAM usage (% of memory committed by apps, backed by RAM or the page file).
  • %ram_committed_used% - used committed RAM amount in GB.
  • %ram_committed_total% - total committed RAM amount in GB.
  • %gpu% - GPU usage.
  • %vram% - VRAM usage as a percentage of total dedicated VRAM.
  • %vram_used% - used dedicated VRAM amount in GB.
  • %vram_total% - total dedicated VRAM amount in GB.
  • %vram_shared% - shared VRAM usage as a percentage of total shared VRAM (system RAM used as extra GPU memory).
  • %vram_shared_used% - used shared VRAM amount in GB.
  • %vram_shared_total% - total shared VRAM pool size in GB.
  • %cpu_temp% - CPU temperature in °C (average of all ACPI thermal zones).
  • %cpu_temp_f% - CPU temperature in °F (average of all ACPI thermal zones).
  • %gpu_temp% - GPU temperature in °C.
  • %gpu_temp_f% - GPU temperature in °F.
  • %battery% - battery level percentage.
  • %battery_time% - battery time remaining (charging time left / discharging time left, in h:mm format). If the value is always zero, you might need to enable battery time reporting in the BIOS.
  • %power% - battery power in watts (negative when discharging, positive when charging). If the value is always zero, you might need to enable battery time reporting in the BIOS.
• Media player info (requires a GSMTC-compatible media player):
