Options
Widget Heading
What to call the widget in your sidebar. Try “My Scribometer” if you find the official title a bit lengthy.
Title of work
The title of your screenplay, novel, short story, etc. If you haven’t decided, “Untitled LastName Project” is standard.
Project phase
“Outline”, “First Draft”, “Polish”, “Revision”, etc.
Units of measure
How do you want to measure your progress? “Words”, “Pages”, “Scenes”, etc.
Units complete
How many pages, words, etc., have you writen so far? Enter a number only, such as 5, 21, or 11,323.
Total units goal
Unfortunately, in order to display a progress bar, you will have to estimate how long the script, novel, or short story will
be when you finish it. Yeah, you can’t be certain. Just make your best guess, and adjust along the way. Numbers only, here.
Height of progress meter in pixels
Allows you to adjust the thickness of your progress meter. I suggest 15. Numbers only, DO NOT include
any text such as “px”.
Color of progress meter border
The border defines the length of the progress bar. It will “fill up” as you update your writing progress. Choose
any color that works well with your theme (or not, it’s up to you). You may enter any valid CSS Color Value such as #000000
, or #0000FF
.
You can also use any valid CSS Color Name, such as Black
, Navy
, Pink
, or Salmon
. Check your theme’s style sheet for some ideas.
Color of progress meter bar
The actual bar that will measure your progress as it grows to 100%. Same color options as above.
FAQ
- Can I hide the widget title?
-
The elements of the Scribometer are highly selectable using CSS. You can edit your stylesheet and use
display: none
to hide almost
any element of the Scribometer. For instance, if you don’t want to display the widget title, try this (assuming your theme usesh2
for your titles):#scribometer h2 { display: none; }
- I’d like to give you credit, but the link looks so ugly in my sidebar
-
Thanks. I think. Try styling the link by editing your stylesheet. Cut and paste the CSS code below to start with:
#scribometer-link { font-size: small; font-style: italic; text-align: right; }
That’s a little more tasteful, isn’t it?
