Two questions about !RainmeterSetVariable

[JpsCrazy]

When you set something like:
FontColor=#Color# and there's no variable that's Color everything goes screwy.
And I didn't have your variables.inc so there were nearly no variables.

Here's what I saw:

Hmmmm....
So when you download from dA:
http://csm725.deviantart.com/#/d2whd5g

It gives you no inc file?

[JpsCrazy]

No no no, I didn't even download that yet.
The sample code you asked me to help fix earlier provides that.
Hence, being interested and such.
I'm sure if your actual download does that someone would have let you know about it.

[csm725]

I just downloaded the file from dA on a WinXP virtual machine and it worked like a charm...

Let me try to further explain:
You provided me with JUST the code when trying to find out why a formula wasn't working in a !Bang.

If I copy-paste your code into a fresh ini all works well, but if I try in my skin's ini, it doesn't work. Here's the (messy :P ) code:

Code: Select all

^Remember that? THAT'S what made your skin looks like it did for me.


Downloading your skin from Deviantart makes it work just fine.

Okay, I misunderstood you. Thanks for your help...

[JpsCrazy]

Yepp! No problem.
Good luck making everything work.
