Container bug

[Cariboudjan]

Relative position seems to be broken. Meters within the same container are not positioning themselves relative to one another. All meters are positioned at 0,0 regardless of whether it is the first or forty-eighth content meter in the series.

Yes, there is some problem with the "R" relative positioning element in conjunction with the Container functionality.

These seems to have happened during some change between the 4.3 r3283 and r3288 beta versions, but was never caught. Drat.

Code: Select all

[MeterBack]
Meter=Image

[MeterOne]

FontSize=12
SolidColor=0,0,0,255

Container=MeterBack

[MeterTwo]
Meter=String

FontColor=255,255,255,255

SolidColor=0,0,0,255
Text=World
Container=MeterBack

We will look at fixing this for the very next release we do.

[jsmorley]

Additional information, that may provide a "work around" until we can correct this.

This only is a problem if there are no "solid" meter(s) behind the container meter. If you create a solid but "invisible" meter behind the container, then the relative positioning works as expected.

So this is broken:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1

[MeterBack]
Meter=Image
W=200
H=200
SolidColor=47,47,47,255

[MeterOne]
Meter=String
Y=30
FontColor=255,255,255,255
FontSize=12
SolidColor=0,0,0,255
Text=Hello
Container=MeterBack

[MeterTwo]
Meter=String
Y=5R
FontColor=255,255,255,255
FontSize=12
SolidColor=0,0,0,255
Text=World
Container=MeterBack

But this is fine...

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1

[MeterBackVisible]
Meter=Image
W=200
H=200
SolidColor=47,47,47,1

[MeterTwo]

FontColor=255,255,255,255
FontSize=12
SolidColor=0,0,0,255

This was fixed in the latest alpha release but the first 6 meters are not showing (probably because Rainmeter thinks they are relative to the contained meter? idk, adding an invisible box didn't help either), an easy fix is just adding X=0 to [1]

Just a bump to know that it works now

[jsmorley]

I'm confused. Is there still a problem or not?

[Jeff]

The bug where the position of all meters is 0,0 is fixed, relativity now works in containers (again), it's just a strange thing that the first 6 meters aren't showing, if you commentContainer=Background from [ImageStyle], you will see the 6 first meters are relative to the shape that is soon gonna be the container, if you uncomment Container=Background and you go to [7] and removeX=1 to make it use the X in the [ImageStyle] (X=r), it also dissapears (because it's relative to those invisible meters now, and again, doing the same process of uncommenting you will again see what it's actually like, even after making the Container meter bigger, they are still invisible)

I don't follow. I'd need the code.

[Jeff]

The code is what the author of the thread sent, I made a small video showing it.
A quick NOTE before you watch the video, on line 69 (hehe), [7] is NOW relative, not [7] is NOT relative. Also I suggest watching the video on double speed.

[jsmorley]

Is there still a problem with the latest alpha version of Rainmeter or not?
