MouseActionCursor not working properly?

[kyriakos876]

So, I've set MouseActionCursor=0 in the [Rainmeter] section, I read here that you can overwrite it

on a meter-by-meter basis with MouseActionCursor=1

this doesn't seem to be the case here.... can someone confirm if it's either working or if I'm doing something wrong?

-Thanks in advance.

Sure, it works...

Your issue is almost certainly with overlapping meters that have mouse actions on them.

The MouseActionCursor on the "behind" meter will be detected where it overlaps the "in front" meter.

[kyriakos876]

Uh.... I indeed had one left-over meter behind that was "invisible" . Clear your code kids!
Thanks

[jsmorley]

That is because there actually is no such thing as "behind" or "in front" in Rainmeter. Never has been.

There are just pixels on a single canvas. The question the mouse asks on a mouse over is "does this pixel have a mouse action on it, and is the pixel contained in the boundaries of the meter that has the mouse action?"

This could be managed with:
