You sure you want 20000 in that last one and not 2000?

ops crap that's embarrassing

[zaxnite]

its still not working
it only shows first image

its still not working
it only shows first image

The second IfCondition of the [MeasureEqual] measure is written mistakenly. It has an extra f: IffCondition2=(MeasureTime > 1430 ) && (MeasureTime < 1959). Remove it.

The problem is with:

IffCondition2

Edit: Balala beat me to it...

If there is no valid IfCondition2, then IfCondition3 is never even evaluated. There must be sequential IfConditions.

Well, I hate to state the obvious, but this is based on the current time. Unless you are changing the time settings on your PC, or are forcing a value into Format=%H%M like Format=1539 or something, I don't see how you would expect it to change.

Rainmeter is written in C++, and the skin .ini files are not in a particular "language" as such. They are written with code that is very specific to Rainmeter. https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/getting-started/skin-anatomy/

So I did what you said again now the first 2 are changed but the third one isn't appearing is there like an elif statement i can use or like that \here is the code it switched btw 1 and 2 but when it reaches the time of the 3 it only shows the first

Code: Select all
