Sliding a Skin with ActionTimer

[DanielPodo]

Right...any guesses as to why I can't change the Height of this bar dynamically using all the above code (specific code for this meter in particular shown below)?

I've made it so that Width and Height can both expand but the Height isn't changing...whereas the Width is...what gives? All the math checks out...I've got a small skin showing me all the variable values changing in real-time to help me debug issues...is this some limitation in Rainmeter?

Code: Select all

[Variables]

N=0
State=1
Ext=0

[Bar]

H=(20+#Ext#)
SolidColor=255,156,32
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure "ExtendClose" "Execute #State#"][!SetVariable "State" "(3-#State#)"]
DynamicVariables=1

[ExtendClose]
measure=Plugin

ActionList1=Repeat Extend, 10, 20
ActionList2=Repeat Close, 10, 20
Extend=[!SetVariable N "(Clamp((#N#+1),0,20))"][!SetVariable Ext "(trunc(300*(1-1/(128**(0.05*#N#)))))"]#Z#
Close=[!SetVariable N "(Clamp((#N#-1),0,20))"][!SetVariable Ext "(trunc(#Ext#*(1-1/(128**(0.05*#N#)))))"]#Z#

Adding DynamicWindowSize=1 to [Rainmeter] section... works here!

Yep, adding that makes it work for me too. But why do I need to add that?

Without that in the [Rainmeter] section, the window size for meters is set on load/refresh, but not adjusted on updates.

With that added, the skin adjusts to any changes in meter sizes on every skin update. Manual Reference

Hi guys I have not been here in awhile sorry ...
Just getting into the sliders ... and got them to work good on my new skin ... but on the sort of label tab can I use a png or does it just have to be text?

sorry I know you can use .pngs .. just found out sorry

but my png has curved edges and the background colour shows through ... can it be fixed ?

Thanks in advance
Steven

[dvo]

just color that part in or remove the curve.. ?
and about the bar of slider you can make it even with a transparent layer and a mouse over and
a mouse leave action works fine to ... so no bar needed for sliding ...

missing 3 the included files ...
create a skin and upload that with one part i can't do a lot

but mostly if they still are standing outside you forgot by the meters.

Code: Select all

DynamicVariables=1

[scottiescotsman]

hope I did this correctly
And the DynamicVariables=1 was in the background meter but not on the others & yes I added DynamicVariables=1 to all the meters and still didn't work

[dvo]

i guess i can't see it couse it was writen for win 7 i'm on win 10

still a incompleet skin your still missing 3 files :

METADATA.inc
STYLES.inc
VARIABLES.inc

now i see only a few lines flashing can't do a lot with them...
