I downloaded a skin called 'everyday update' from Devian Art.
I try and load the time and it says "no such StringStyle: #Style#"
i click 'Ok' it comes up with "your configuration file doesn't contain any metres! Your skin ini-file might be out of date" it does this with a couple of them
It does not allow me to load the time why does it come up with this and how do i stop it?
It is currently April 20th, 2024, 11:12 am

Re: Rainmeter error:rainmeter no such StringStyle: #Style#
Have you restarted rainmeter after installing the skin?
I don't think, therefore I'm not.

Re: Rainmeter error:rainmeter no such StringStyle: #Style#
Then it might be that you installed the skin to a place that it was not designed to be in, so it looks for the styles in a place where they don't exist.
Could you link to the skin so one could take a look at it?
Are you using the latest rainmeter? Just to make sure so you don't sit on a Rainmeter 1.1 and try having a skin for 1.2 load.

I am using the latest rainmeter (1.2)
BTW it only happens on the time widget.

Re: Rainmeter error:rainmeter no such StringStyle: #Style#
And I know why. It actually occurs with the Date skin as well.
Both Time and Date (the skins) have this:
[Variables]
@include=#SKINSPATH#\Elementary\Variables.inc
Which tells the skin to look for the variables in Skins\Elementary\Variables.inc
If one does not thave that file (it's not included in the download), they can't get the variables and the skin fails.
You have to edit the skins so that it either draws the variables from within the file, or hardcode them (replace the #FontColor# with say, 255, 255, 255, 150).
Do that and it will work.

I replaced the font color with 255, 255, 255, 150 and it didn't work i tried it on all [sections] and it still didn't work.

Re: Rainmeter error:rainmeter no such StringStyle: #Style#
StringStyle can be Normal, Bold, italic, BoldItalic
If you remove StringStyle from all your meters rainmeter will use normal as default

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

Re: Rainmeter error:rainmeter no such StringStyle: #Style#
I hope you understand that you have to change every #Variable# that's not defined in the [Variables] section.
