Need some help with skin illustro_extended_2_1

Post by 122654 »

Hi,

Im new to rainmeter and using the skin illustro_extended_2_1_by_oxmaster-d7w6ymw.rmskin
It looks really good, much better than msi afterburner (which I used in the past)
But im having trouble configuring the skin.

I have open hardware monitor installed but somehow GPU temp is shown but CPU temp is not.
DriveAccess only shows disk C and D (also have disk E)
Rainmeter does not align with my left screen´s border. It has a 0,5 cm gap on the right side.

Any ideas? :D

And anyone know if it is possible to also show FPS in rainmeter?

Can't help on showing the CPU temp, but I can on this question.
For this, you have to work in the SettingsBasic.inc file, within the @Resources folder. Open it and replace the Disc3=X variable with Disc3=E. Then replace above the DiscNumber variable with DiscNumber=3 (all these variables are in the [Variables] section). Refresh the DriveAccess Bar skin.

Just as a side note, if you have question, usually would be a good idea to post a link where the appropriate skin (this case the illusto extended) can be downloaded.

Thanks for your reply. I tried changing disc3=X to disc3=E and discnumber to 3.
But it is not working for me. Am I doing something wrong?
Here is the skin by the way.

Yeah, I found the skin.
Take care because those variables are present in two files: once you have them in @Resources\SettingsBasic.inc. But you also have them in @Resources\Backup\SettingsBasic.inc. Which one have you modified? To make it to work, you have to modify the first one. If you didn't yet, just modify it and give a new try.
If it's still not working, please post the complete code of the @Resources\SettingsBasic.inc file.

I'm not sure why have you added a password, but basically this is what I asked.
But I don't understand the problem: when I first loaded the DriveAccess Bar.ini, it showed three drives: C:, D: and E:, exactly as you wanted. You said that despite of the described settings, it doesn't show the third drive. Your skin does show me all three and I'm confused: does or doesn't it show the third drive for you? Am I missing something?

I unloaded and reloaded the driveaccess bar.ini again and suddenly it is working! :D

I was absolutely sure I already refreshed before. Maybe a reboot or something did the trick?
I dont know but Im very happy itś working now. Thank you alot :D


Edit: maybe I did a refresh skin before instead of unload/load driveacces bar.ini (is there a difference?)
