initially posted this query in response to
https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=30150
because I failed to spot the "New Topic" button.
In short, I agree with Eclectic Tech (on that thread). Why not show both or provide a choice? Personally, I only need to see Total and Free. "Used" is of no use to me.
So I hacked my "17Disks.ini" and got it displaying the free space instead of Used. (changed "InvertMeasure=1" to "InvertMeasure=0")
What I couldn't figure out is how to get it to say "Free" where it now says "used".
Suggestions?

Previous Reply;;Use a text editor that has search capabilities (like Notepad++) and search for "used" and replace them with "Free".
Or you can post your code here and I am sure it can be modified.

Re: Displaying Free Space instead of Used
Am I missing something? The package from start is for free disk space. Your own screenshot proves this on the provided link.eclectic-tech wrote: ↑January 2nd, 2019, 3:57 pm https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?p=157218#p157062

Re: Displaying Free Space instead of Used
Yes, my skin is FreeSpace, but the OP is asking to change HIS/HER skin.
They said they already modified it to show FreeSpace, but could not figure out what to do about changing the display. They said they want to replace "used", so it says "Free".
Perhaps I misunderstood, which is why I asked them to post the code.

Re: Displaying Free Space instead of Used
Oh yeah, now I see he's talking about a skin called 17Disks.ini, right? Then yes, we should have to see the code.eclectic-tech wrote: ↑January 2nd, 2019, 7:07 pm Yes, my skin is FreeSpace, but the OP is asking to change HIS/HER skin.

Sorry I didn't realize...

You did not misunderstand. That's exactly what I'm trying to do.
And you've just pushed me into solving the problem!
My initial reaction was to write that I couldn't see any code which produced the output
[drive] [freespace]/[total] used
but I then went to check the ini file one more time and found it:
By changing
Text=%1B/%2B used
to
Text=%1B/%2B Free
I now get exactly what I'm after.
Thankyou comrades
Harry
