The 4.3 update has changed my visualizer skin so that it shows the bottom pixel of the bars all the time.
Can i fix this by changing the code in the skin or is this a bug?
Thanks.

I'm not getting that behavior with your visualizer skin.

Thanks for the reply, it was a useless post
In 4.2 the bars would not leave a 1 pixel line at the bottom when there was no audio.

Re: [Bug/Maybe] Visualizer changed behavior in 4.3
not a bug but bad code
MinBarValue=0 fixes it, having it MinBarValue=0.005 give a bar height to 1
Next you get an error loading the skin
Unable to read file: C:\Users\Graham\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Escape\Visualizer\@Resources\Variables.inc (Visualizer\Visualizer.ini)
change @include=#SKINSPATH#Visualizer\@Resources\Variables.inc to @include=#@#Variables.inc in all your files

Re: [Bug/Maybe] Visualizer changed behavior in 4.3
Thanks Cyber
The skin is pulled from a suite I'm working on so the unable to read error was my fault for missing an include line. Logs clean on my end.
Great thats fixed the bar lines, but I've also noticed their movement stutters and is not smooth like on 4.2. Guess changing some of the values in the BandMeasuresSmoothed will sort it out? I can have a play some time.
Cheers for your time

Re: [Bug/Maybe] Visualizer changed behavior in 4.3
Forget the stuttering bar part, they seem fine now switching between 4.2 and 4.3.
All sorted!

Re: [Bug/Maybe] Visualizer changed behavior in 4.3
Having tested the visualizer out further I can see a change in the bar behavior from 4.2. It seems to have hesitation/stuttering in 4.3.

I switched on 'Use hardware acceleration' in settings (as suggested in the release notes) and now its just as smooth as 4.2.
