Is it possible to Redraw only a specific meter?

Post by kyriakos876 »

Hello, is there any bang that would Redraw/Refresh only a specific meter on the skin instead of all of them?

(I'm sure this has been posted before in the forum, but I couldn't find an answer)

Thanks for replying but this article talks only about Redrawing the whole skin. I'm interested into Redrawing only a specific meter.

!UpdateMeter [Meter] (Config)
Immediately updates the given meter regardless of UpdateDivider.

This will automatically redraw the selected Meter.

There IS a way to update just one meter ... @ HeyItsTJ4 gave the answer, but did not add the [!Redraw] bang.

Reference: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual-beta/bangs/#UpdateMeter

All meter will update at the skin update rate, usually every second, but to update a meter immediately after a change use [!UpdateMeter MeterName][!Redraw]

Right. But understand the difference between "updating" a meter, which more or less gathers the information the meters needs and does any calculations and such, and "redraw", which is what actually draws the skin contents, is done for the entire skin at once, and can't be done on any "individual" basis.

The answer to "Is it possible to Redraw only a specific meter?" is no, period.
