See that I've rewritten a lot of thing there, for example the SkinHeight option ([Rainmeter] section) and the formulas calculating the Y values of more meters, in the IfFalseAction option of the [MeasureSkinState] measure (I also removed a lot of quotation marks in this last option).
Two other comments, if you don't mind:
  • Both the Author and the AppVersion options of the [Rainmeter] section are deprecated. Move the Author to [Metadata] and remove completely the AppVersion.
  • The quotations are not needed around the values of options. For example they are not needed around the CPU value of Text option of the [HideCpuHistogram] meter (same for the other values of all other Text options). So, I replaced the Text="CPU" with Text=CPU. Details here.

Good job as to fitting the content to the bg horizontally, but seems there is a more complicated situation to fix the vertical issue that exists. As you can see on the gif (left is this scaled skin to 2, left is origianl unscaled), the empty skin space has been stuck when we turn off the graphs. It wont hide. But even when the graphs are on, there is more empty space at the bottom skin part, than it should be (pls take a look below the graph buttons: TMP, CPU, RAM).

Another issue (maybe less important) the top-the title part of the bg. The darker part is where the title goes, in the middle of it vertically and horizontally, but here is stuck since we set BackgroundMargins.
It would be nice if we could make sth like this BackgroundMargins=(0 * #Scale#),(34 * #Scale#) ,(0 * #Scale#),(13 * #Scale#). Probably it would stretch the darker bg part at the top.

Thx for the note #2 about "" and deprecated options. :thumbup:
Edit: i'm "deprecated" as well.

Again: unfortunately probably you can't get this to work properly dynamically, because when clicking, we should have to set a new value for SkinHeight, within the [Rainmeter] section (changing the RamHistState and CpuHistState variables). But this section, unlike meters and measures, doesn't support dynamic updates (nor dynamically set variables - with the !SetVariable bang -, nor dynamically set options - with !SetOption).
Probably due to this, the skin will more or less (yep, maybe there still are some details which have to be polished) work properly when you rewrite the variables manually and refresh the skin, but doesn't when you dynamically set the variables.
Sorry, no solutions, I think. Unless every time you're changing those variables (clicking the button), you're rewriting them into the [Variables] section, then refresh the skin. I usually am against refreshing the skins, but this time I think this is the only possible solution. Not talking that probably the users won't hide / show the histograms too frequently. Usually such settings are made once, when the skin is first time used (probably much rarely later). What do you think, is this somehow a good approach?

A such BackgroundMargins can be used, but it's useless, because the values used into a such option are related to the unscaled image, so if you're increasing the values, you don't get anything good. Probably no good solutions here.

Sorry for the error, yes right. :oops:
If you say it cannot be made work in the proper way as the unscaled skin, what to do than to give up. At some screen resolution the skins looks smaller, at the others bigger so it would be nice if we have the option to customize it. Even though, Win 10 has the scale option it's not so good to use. If you find a good solution in the meanwhile, i'd be honoured to integrate it into the skins. If not, the life goes on.

You've given your best shot, as always so the least word i can utter is multumesc frate!

No, probably you don't have to give it up. As I said:

So, if you rewrite the variables every time you're clicking the button and refresh the skin, the problem could be managed, I think. Will take a look tomorrow, to figure out what can be done.

All right. I tried sth, but seems my Rainmeter knowledge is a bit rusty since i didn't have a single touch with it for a while...

Probably as I previously said, there will be needed some other polishes as well, but for first please test the code, to see if it more or less match your needs.

A bit better, but did you notice that the empty space at the bottom is smaller as we increase the Scale value? For instance, using Scale=5 crops half the skin when the graphs are off whilst when Scale=1 there is still significant empty space at the bottom unhidden.

You deserve a break. I'd suggest you not to touch this tomorrow, better from Monday on. Sunday should be used for sth else if you agree. It's more than enough that we have you (all the helpers here) 6/7 days in a week. See you soon mate.
