Scan desktop rainmeter with bug...

[CyborgTJB]

OK, time for simply...
The skin is not crashing the rainmeter when load. It is crashing only on when unload. I have to manually exit from tray b4 edit them. Both of them are contain 98% of same code. so both were causing crash (screenshot uploaded on end).
yes, they do the same in all situation.
1. load one, unload one condition.
2. load two, unload one condition.

Note 1: I really not unload it. But for the shake of develop it has to be...
Note 2: It is happening only on unload situation. Not in refresh situation.

you should replace it with (at least) Update=16 and the !Rainmeter... prefix should be removed.

I uploaded the real one I create. Not the one you suggest to edit. Sorry if I did wrong.

he is trying to create some scanning effect using these 2 .ini files

Yes I do...

leaving no error message in the log.

I don't really see the error reports. I'll keep my eye on it from now.

in my opinion would be better to unify the skins, into one single.

Well, well, how to...???

Well, well, how to...???

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=16

;==== MEASURES =====

[UpDown]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(Counter % #SCREENAREAHEIGHT#)
DynamicVariable=1

[DownUp]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(#SCREENAREAHEIGHT# - (Counter % #SCREENAREAHEIGHT#))
DynamicVariable=1

;===== METERS ======

[TopToBottom]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=255,0,0
W=#SCREENAREAWIDTH#
H=1
Y=[UpDown]
DynamicVariables=1

[BottomToTop]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=255,0,0
W=#SCREENAREAWIDTH#
H=1
Y=[DownUp]
DynamicVariables=1

This is one way to do it.
(This shouldn't crash when loaded/unloaded or refreshed.)

Keep in mind that this is a little bit heavy for the CPU.

No problem on my part. I just comment what I see...

Do you mean that you don't know where to look for the error messages? If so, right click the Rainmeter notification area icon and click About. In the opening window, check the Log tab. There will you see all messages. It's a very useful tool.

Well, well, how to...???

Eg:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=16

;Metadata

[Metadata]
Name=
Author=CyborG
Config=
Description=
Instructions=
Version=
Tags=
License=
Variant=
Preview=

;End of added Metadata

[MeasureMove1]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Counter % #SCREENAREAHEIGHT#
DynamicVariable=1

[MeasureMove2]
Measure=Calc
Formula=#SCREENAREAHEIGHT# - (Counter % #SCREENAREAHEIGHT#)
DynamicVariable=1

[MeasurePositionX]
Measure=Calc
Formula=#SCREENAREAWIDTH#
DynamicVariable=1

[MeterBackground1]
Meter=IMAGE
X=0
Y=[MeasureMove1]
W=1366
H=1
SolidColor=255,0,0,255
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterBackground2]
Meter=IMAGE
X=0
Y=[MeasureMove2]
W=1366
H=1
SolidColor=255,0,0,255
DynamicVariables=1

Note the followings:

• I replaced / added the [MeasureMove1] and [MeasureMove2] measures to the code. These measures are calculating the positions of the appropriate meters (also see below).
• The greatest difference between the initial skins and this one is that your initial skins was moving themselves (through the !Move bangs), while in this code, the skin doesn't move, but are moving the meters ([MeterBackground1] and [MeterBackground2]) inside. This is done by the Y options of these two meters (Y=[MeasureMove1], respectively Y=[MeasureMove2]) and also requires the DynamicVariables=1 option, which I added to both meters.
• I removed some sections which are not needed any more (like [MeasureTrigger] or [MeasurePositionX]).
• I replaced the Update value ([Rainmeter] section) with Update=16 (we've discussed above why).
• I moved the Author option from the [Rainmeter], to [Metadata] section, where it belongs now. A while ago, it indeed was an option of the [Rainmeter] section, but there is deprecated, now you should use it on the [Metadata].

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao..................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Balala, my buddy....
Must better. I mean must best. and smooth.
Hell yes buddy.
I told you. U guess are awesome. I can't explain my happiness right now.

I knew where to look for log. But u show me the short cut to access it. Thank you.

It's not only solve the problem of "unload crash" but also solve one extra...
There was a extra problem with that skin. It always stuck on task bar when coming down.
But now that one also solve.

You are real hero of my world buddy. I love you. You are awesome.
I'm fully super-duper satisfied with my care. Thanks a lot.
