Keep colors from measure after MouseLeaveAction

[pul53dr1v3r]

Hi. I need some help to make the button returns the defined colors in [MeasureBatteryLauncher] measure according to the skin state, when the mouse leaves the button region.
So, the text should be always red when the state is 1 (when mouse is over as well), and when the state is 0 it should be red only when the mouse is over it.

Code: Select all

Something like this perhaps:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[Variables]
Over=0
StateColor=255,255,255,255
State0=255,255,255,255
State1=255,0,0,255

[MeasureState]
Measure=Calc
; Test by changing to Formula=1
Formula=0
DynamicVariables=1
IfCondition=(#Over# = 1)
IfTrueAction=[!SetVariable StateColor "#State1#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
IfCondition2=(#Over# = 0) && (MeasureState = 0)
IfTrueAction2=[!SetVariable StateColor "#State0#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
IfCondition3=(#Over# = 0) && (MeasureState = 1)
IfTrueAction3=[!SetVariable StateColor "#State1#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

[MeterOne]
Meter=Image
W=100
H=100
SolidColor=#StateColor#
DynamicVariables=1
MouseOverAction=[!SetVariable Over "1"][!UpdateMeasure MeasureState]
MouseLeaveAction=[!SetVariable Over "0"][!UpdateMeasure MeasureState]

Ok, i applied it to my example and it does the job but it's not so fast at all because of using ConfigActive plug-in in the calculation, i believe:

i have rearranged the code a little bit and update measures only when they are needed to. The plugin has nothing to do with the slow color-change.
Just give it a try.

Hi ikarus. Ty for your try to help! Regrettably there are 2 issues with the approach.
-1st: about the two Update=-1 options in [MeasureState] and [MeasureBatteryLauncher] measures where the colors won't change according to skin state if the skin's being loaded/unloaded apart from the button (either manually from the context menu or using another copy of this button).
-2nd: when the [MeasureBatteryLauncher] is not 1 (button state is off), the button's text color gets red after Rainmeter refresh, or if the button is refreshed not movin mouse over it.

Hi ikarus. Ty for your try to help! Regrettably there are 2 issues with the approach.

So i have to apologize - i just covered a very specific case of the problem without digging deep enough into your problem...

So i have to apologize - i just covered a very specific case of the problem without digging deep enough into your problem...

ah, no need for the apology because of a real try to help. Thank you for it.

Hope there is a proper solution for this in somebody's "archive"...

Ok, i applied it to my example and it does the job but it's not so fast at all because of using ConfigActive plug-in in the calculation,

The delay in the color change is being caused by evaluating the active config in [MeasureBatteryLauncher] then using another measure [MeasureState] to evaluate [MeasureBatteryLauncher] again.

Rather than a second separate measure to test the "state", add those condition tests to [MeasureBatteryLauncher] and remove [MeasureState].

This should eliminate the delay in color changes.

Code: Select all

[MeasureBatteryLauncher]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ConfigActive
ConfigName=#ROOTCONFIG#\Battery

IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION# = 1)
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption MeterBatteryLauncher LeftMouseUpAction """[!DeactivateConfig "#ROOTCONFIG#\Battery"]"""][!SetOption "MeterBatteryLauncher" "SolidColor" "#ActivatedSkinColor#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!SetOption MeterBatteryLauncher LeftMouseUpAction """[!ActivateConfig "#ROOTCONFIG#\Battery" "Battery.ini"]"""][!SetOption "MeterBatteryLauncher" "SolidColor" "#DeactivatedSkinColor#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

IfCondition2=(#CURRENTSECTION# = 1)
IfTrueAction2=[!SetVariable SkinTxtColor "#ActivatedSkinTxtColor#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

IfCondition3=(#CURRENTSECTION# <= 0) && (#MOver# <= 0)
IfTrueAction3=[!SetVariable SkinTxtColor "#DeactivatedSkinTxtColor#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

IfCondition4=(#CURRENTSECTION# <= 0) && (#MOver# = 1)

Good job ET. Ty. I forgot to mention that the issue 2 persists from the beginning, not only in the ikarus' approach.

But in the meanwhile i figured out how to solve it:

Code: Select all

[MeasureBatteryLauncher]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ConfigActive
ConfigName=#ROOTCONFIG#\Battery
IfCondition=(#CURRENTSECTION# = 1)
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption MeterBatteryLauncher LeftMouseUpAction """[!DeactivateConfig "#ROOTCONFIG#\Battery"]"""][!SetOption "MeterBatteryLauncher" "SolidColor" "#ActivatedSkinColor#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!SetOption MeterBatteryLauncher LeftMouseUpAction """[!ActivateConfig "#ROOTCONFIG#\Battery" "Battery.ini"]"""][!SetOption "MeterBatteryLauncher" "SolidColor" "#DeactivatedSkinColor#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]


IfCondition2=(#CURRENTSECTION# <= 0) && (#MOver# <= 0)
IfTrueAction2=[!SetVariable SkinTxtColor "#DeactivatedSkinTxtColor#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

IfCondition3=(#CURRENTSECTION# <= 0) && (#MOver# = 1)
IfTrueAction3=[!SetVariable SkinTxtColor "#ActivatedSkinTxtColor#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

IfCondition4=(#CURRENTSECTION# = 1)
IfTrueAction4=[!SetVariable SkinTxtColor "#ActivatedSkinTxtColor#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

IfCondition5=(#CURRENTSECTION# <= 0)
IfTrueAction5=[!SetVariable SkinTxtColor "#DeactivatedSkinTxtColor#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

DynamicVariables=1

but that approach brought up a small issue where, after Rainmeter refresh, the button won't react on first MouseOverAction but just after the second one.

[eclectic-tech]

Set the initial value of MOver to zero in your [Variables] section.
