Just a few explanations on why this gone on. So let's take mak_kawa's reply:
mak_kawa wrote: December 25th, 2019, 10:41 am Structure of [measureDisplayName] measure is incorrect.
Well, in fact [measureDisplayName] isn't even a measure. From the point of view of Rainmeter, [measureDisplayName] is nothing. In the original posted code, [measureDisplayName] looks like:

Code: Select all

[measureDisplayName]
Measure=measureName
Measure2=measureChargeCurrentRequest
Measure3=measureChargePower
IfCondition=(%3 > 0)
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption meterTitle Text "%1 lädt mit %2A/%3KW"]
Measure=measureName makes no sense at all, because a Measure= option should define the measure type, Calc, String or whatever. Even if the existing [measureName] measure would return the name of a valid measure type (like mentioned previously Calc, String or whatever), which I doubt, but let's just suppose it does, the Measure=measureName option just wouldn't work. Not even Measure=[measureName] would, especially not if a DynamicVariable=1 isn't added. Measure=Something has always to be set explicitly. Additionally options like Measure2, Measure3 nowhere exist. These can't be used on no measure type. Don't make too much sense. MeasureName2, MeasureName3 yes, on String measures for instance, but Measure2, Measure3 and so on, NO!
Secondly IfCondition=(%3 > 0) again doesn't make sense. In IfCondition you have to precise the name of the measure you'd like to compare. In this case theoretically IfCondition=(measureChargePower > 0), but because [measureChargePower] is a WebParser measure (also although it does work, take care that WebParser isn't anymore a plugin as it was once, but a measure) you have to make the conversion this way IfCondition=([measureChargePower] > 0), which also requires to set on the dynamic variables, as mak_kawa did.

[measureDisplayName] is not necessary at all. Ifcondition expression is better to be located in [measureChargePower] measure itself, like this.
Thank you for the trust.
Note that as I explained above, because [measureChargePower] is a WebParser measure, the IfCondition=(measureChargePower > 0) condition probably doesn't work, because the value of the [measureChargePower] measure should be converted to a number. This can be done easily, as you did previously: IfCondition=([measureChargePower] > 0). This requires to add back the DynamicVariables=1 option as well.
An additional note: in such cases I always prefer to use the condition as IfCondition=([#CURRENTSECTION#] > 0). Just a small trick, but this makes much more easier to move the condition to another section, if needed.

Hello everybody

@Enno: May I have the corrected code?
I'm currently trying to recreate this skin, but unfortunately I can't handle the code on the 1st page and the corrections in the posts.

Thank you very much

Greetings Dani
