It's all about knowing what to look for in the docs, which don't have any concrete examples
They do have examples at the bottom of these pages, but basic ones, suited for the beginner level. The rest is about using the possibilities offered by the different options in those measures / meters / etc. to do more than just displaying the time today, and that is the user's job (who can ask for help on that at any time, if encountering difficulties that are not covered by the manual at all). But you're right, it's about what to look for, just like when searching for something on Google.

Here's an example based on SilverAzide's advice (added using a variable and scrolling to change the "then" time as a bonus):

Code:

[Variables]DayOffset=2[Rainmeter]Update=1000AccurateText=1DynamicWindowSize=1BackgroundMode=2SolidColor=47,47,47,255---Measures---[Now]Measure=TimeFormat=%a, %d %b %Y, %H:%M:%S[Then]Measure=TimeTimestamp=([Now:Timestamp]+60*60*24*#DayOffset#)Format=%a, %d %b %Y, %H:%M:%SDynamicVariables=1---Meters---[Result]Meter=StringFontColor=255,255,255,255FontFace=ConsolasFontSize=16Padding=5,5,5,5AntiAlias=1MeasureName=NowMeasureName2=ThenText=The Time Now : %1#CRLF#The Time Then: %2MouseScrollUpAction=[!SetVariable DayOffset (#DayOffset#+1)][!UpdateMeasure *][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]MouseScrollDownAction=[!SetVariable DayOffset (#DayOffset#-1)][!UpdateMeasure *][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]DynamicVariables=1
I used * meaning "all of the same kind" when updating measures and meters for simplicity - normally you'd update only the relevant sections (measures or meters).

See also using :Timestamp as a parameter for a measure reference (aka "section variable").
