You are right. The background is automatic.balala wrote:Adding the appropriate measures and meters is absolutely necessary for sure, but as far as I remember, you don't have to change the size of the background. I think the skins of the illusto suite, adjust automatically the size of the background, depending on the existing meters.
Anyway, when salvo will reply, letting us to know what exactly he wants, we'll see what to do.

Re: Disks recognition
Ok, I think we have to wait for salvo's reply, for some details on what he wants.

The only trick is to not forget any Y changes and you'll be good. It's easy to do.; HOWTO: Adding more disks
; ----------------------------------
; Adding more disks is a pretty straightforward process. Follow the following steps to turn
; this 2 disks skin into a 3 disks skin. You can then extend it even further as you wish.
;
; 1) Create a new variable called disk3=X: directly below disk2=D: in the [Variables] section
; 2) Create a copy of the [measureTotalDisk2] and [measureUsedDisk2] sections
; 3) Rename the copied sections to [measureTotalDisk3] and [measureUsedDisk3], respectively.
; Also change Drive=#disk2# to Drive=#disk3#
; 4) Create a copy of the [meterLabelDisk2], [meterValueDisk2], and [meterBarDisk2].
; Rename all Disk2's in the copied sections to Disk3.
; 5) Now we need to change the Y= values to adjust height. Change Y= under [meterLabelDisk3]
; to Y=80 (calculated by adding 20 to the Y= value of previous meterLabel).
; Then change Y= under [meterBarDisk3] to Y=92 (calculated by adding 20 to the Y= value of previous meterBar).
; 6) Save the file as '3 Disks.ini'. Now right-click on the Rainmeter tray icon and select
; 'Refresh All'. Now go activate the '3 Disks.ini' skin and enjoy!

Re: Disks recognition
Yeah, probably this is a good procedure to add one more disk (I didn't verify step by step, however), however initially salvo wanted to add two more disks.Neekow wrote:Just discovered what's rainmeter, and as the person who created the topic i have more than 2 HDD and ...

Re: Disks recognition
We have a changeling among us... salvo -> Neekow[/i] I misinterpreted the post (again!)
Yes, the code changes to add more disks is explained very well right in the skin.
Here is an illustro style alternative skin I created using DriveList plugin by FlyingHyrax that will find, list, and track up to 9 drives.
Happy coding!

Re: Disks recognition
Ok, as I said, I didn't verify your solution. I don't say it doesn't work, you just should have to mention salvo should follow it twice, to add two disks.Neekow wrote:Well, i did that for 2 more HDD and it works ... and i guess if i want add another one i'll just have to repeat that.

Re: Disks recognition
I misinterpreted your post... you are not the OP, but have a similar issue; forget the changeling comment
The link offered in my post provides an illustro style skin, that will work for up to 9 drives, without the need to edit anything.

I used the patch you attached and worked just fine.
Thanks to all. I will dig deeper now in other skins
