X=R border Fail Update Image something

[GioRgSaVv]

Hello, I might found a bug here, I have this skin



The Left/Upward/Right black lines are custom, not real images.

Code: Select all

[Line1/2/3]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=0,0,0,255
W=2 / 160
H=160 / 2

The right line image is X=R, which means it will go after the text, (text=UpTime), but when the time changes this line acts strange, update doesnt work correctly and sometimes it doesnt show the line, its hidden or something I cant really tell.

Sometimes it is displayed like this

I used all kind of update meters but they dont work very well, only Refresh All from the program itself works

this is the skin

just updating meters dont work well when a meter is x=r and it automatically updates itself

I need a continuously refresh of the skin, how can I do this?

Formulas in options like X and Y must be enclosed in parentheses.

Code: Select all

[Line1/2/3]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=0,0,0,255
W=(2 / 160)
H=(160 / 2)

Mathematical formulas must be entirely enclosed in (parentheses) to alert Rainmeter that it is a formula, unless they are being used in the Formula option of a Calc measure or in a IfCondition option, where the function is always assumed to be a formula, and the enclosing parentheses are optional.

The answer simply cannot ever be a continuous refresh of the skin, that is an endless loop that will bring everything to its knees.

in my case then why the update or updatedivider dont work properly?
BackgroundMode=2 should be bigger when the text is "bigger" or "more"

pff anyway, I guess I will just never update it and make the border just bigger just in case if the text takes more place.. :/
thanks for your answer!

I have no idea why. I don't have even remotely enough of your code to have any opinion about what it is doing or not doing.

I already uploaded the entire skin in the first post

but it doesnt really matter anyway I will just make it that way so the border will always be the same and never update or becomes bigger when the text is also becomes bigger.
