Hiding Issues

Post by adam_srgnt »

So im trying to get a basic popup using dynamic variables to hide and unhide my meter however i seem to be having a problem somewhere along the way and cant for the life of me find out what it is. Everything functions fine on its own but is not working properly with the mouse action SetVariables.
The basic code is as follows:

[Box]
Meter=IMAGE
MeterStyle=Popup (only contains DynamicVariables=1)
SolidColor=255,255,255,255
X=0
Y=15r
H=15
W=200

Hidden=#HIDE#(set to 0 in [Variables] and works fine without !bang)

MouseOverAction=!RainmeterSetVariable HIDE 0
MouseLeaveAction=!RainmeterSetVariable HIDE 1

If anyone can find what im doing wrong, or explain an efficient way to hide several things in a similar way, it would be greatly appreciated

Try adding the MouseLeaveAction to the [Rainmeter] section.

That worked, thanks.

When things werent working i tried moving stuff around. I put the mouse actions there following an example in the manual but forgot to move them back to the top once everything else was working. Now i feel like an idiot lol
