P.S. [!Redraw] in and of itself does nothing useful... What you want is [!UpdateMeter MeterBin][!Redraw].

What !Redraw does is "redraw the skin with the current state of all meters". While you have used !SetOption to change the ImageName option of MeterBin, the meter has not been "updated" to apply the change made to the option. So first update the meter, then redraw the skin...

so how would you have done it?

so how would you have done it?

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[MeasureBin]
Measure=RecycleManager
RecycleType=Count
IfCondition=MeasureBin = 0
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption MeterBin ImageName "#@#Images\recyclebin.png"][!UpdateMeter MeterBin][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!SetOption MeterBin ImageName "#@#Images\recyclebinfull.png"][!UpdateMeter MeterBin][!Redraw]

[MeterBin]
Meter=Image
W=90
H=90
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureBin "OpenBin"]
RightMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureBin "EmptyBin"]

You were very, very close to exactly what I would have done. Good start.
