Adding extra HDD's and GPU usage

Post by WedgeTailDevil »

Hi,

I am new to RM and have only started using the default skin that comes with the installer.

http://prntscr.com/gi7l21
2 Disks.7z
I edited this one but it displays the same as disk 2

Also, how do I add GPU usage to the system.ini

Thanks in advance

There are mistakes in the edited code: in the [meterValueDisk3] and [meterBarDisk3] meters, you've used references to the second disk:

Code: Select all

[meterValueDisk3]
...
MeasureName=measureUsedDisk2
MeasureName2=measureTotalDisk2
...

[meterBarDisk3]
...
MeasureName=measureUsedDisk2
...
Correctly these options would be:

Code: Select all

[meterValueDisk3]
...
MeasureName=measureUsedDisk3
MeasureName2=measureTotalDisk3
...

[meterBarDisk3]
...
MeasureName=measureUsedDisk3
...

You might want to get a lot more familiar with Rainmeter before you try tackling that task. It is not trivial. As a starter, read the forum post about how to use the HWiNFO plugin here: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=21939.
