Script to auto-refresh a skin?

Post by Hikari »

I'm using a nifty weather skin- http://ld-jing.deviantart.com/art/area-weather-rainmeter-115378334

-but have a problem where if I have another window over it for too long, it looks like parts of the skin are erased, like this:

The problem fixes itself if I refresh the skin, but I was wondering if there is some script I can add to get the skin to do this itself?

for auto refresh http://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3984&p=27563#p27563

see if under [Rainmeter] in the skin file is some Update=1000
if the skin has a [Background] try delete it or change its color
Zero at programing, zero at writing codes, so far 2 at making images
But I'm good at copy/paste, and I not always like this

i think in this skin its using a background that is an image that is totally transparrent so it might aswell not be there. you could try colouring the image lets say black with 99% transparency or get rid of the "background=Bg.png" at the top of the skin and add "DynamicWindowSize=1" . This may not be your problem with the images degrading, but ive seen similar isues with text myself and it worked for me. hope this helps you.

Problem solved by removing the background and adding the window size command. Thanks a lot guys.
