Rotator Meters Not Appearing

[AndrewBot88]

For some reason it appears that rotator meters just don't work for me. I copy-pasted the code from here and the skin doesn't appear. A basic image variant works fine, but when I switch to the rotator it disappears. I'm using Rainmeter 4.1 on Windows 10, if that matters.

post your code so we can look and see if there is an issue with it.

Ok so I've realized it's an issue with using the CPU measure. This is what I've got:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=50
DynamicWindowSize=1

[MeasureCPU]
Measure=CPU

[MeterRotate]
Meter=Rotator
MeasureName=MeasureCPU
ImageName=Rectangle.png
OffsetX=(#ImageW# / 2)
OffsetY=(#ImageH# / 2)
W=(SQRT(#ImageW# ** 2 + #ImageH# ** 2))
H=(SQRT(#ImageW# ** 2 + #ImageH# ** 2))

and when using a simple formula measure it works fine, but when I use the CPU measure it disappears. Is there something I need to do differently when using this measure?

Set

MinValue=0
MaxValue=100

On the CPU measure. The Rotator meter is looking for a percentage, from 0.0-1.0. The CPU measure is returning 0-100. So if you set the MaxValue to 100, then the meter will know that the values returned are a percentage of 100, not of 1.

Edit: Actually, I'm not sure this is needed. I think the CPU measure will set a "range" of 0-100 automatically. So now I'm not quite sure what you are seeing... Attach a copy of Regtangle.png so we have it to test with.

Edit: I don't see where you have defined the variables #ImageH# and #ImageW#... You seem to be missing:

[Variables]
ImageW=128
ImageH=64

In my hasty edit of the code I took those out by accident; putting them back in seems to have solved it, thanks.
