Ok, since yall have been such help i have another task for you,, I am using this disk monitor and i tried adding a 3rd disk to it using the instructions in the code, it seems to work but the third disk is showing my second disks capacity, and the second one is not showing the capacity any more. Will attach a screen shot of the meter in question shortly, Thanks again for all your help, been years since i played with this, Back to a learning curve... :D

Code: Select all

; Lines starting ; (semicolons) are commented out.
; That is, they do not affect the code and are here for demonstration purposes only.
; ----------------------------------

; HOWTO: Adding more disks
; ----------------------------------
; Adding more disks is a pretty straightforward process. Follow the following steps to turn
; this 2 disks skin into a 3 disks skin. You can then extend it even further as you wish.
;
; 1) Create a new variable called disk3=X: directly below disk2=D: in the [Variables] section
; 2) Create a copy of the [measureTotalDisk2] and [measureUsedDisk2] sections
; 3) Rename the copied sections to [measureTotalDisk3] and [measureUsedDisk3], respectively.
;    Also change Drive=#disk2# to Drive=#disk3#
; 4) Create a copy of the [meterLabelDisk2], [meterValueDisk2], and [meterBarDisk2].
;    Rename all Disk2's in the copied sections to Disk3.
; 5) Now we need to change the Y= values to adjust height. Change Y= under [meterLabelDisk3]
;    to Y=80 (calculated by adding 20 to the Y= value of previous meterLabel).
;    Then change Y= under [meterBarDisk3] to Y=92 (calculated by adding 20 to the Y= value of previous meterBar).
; 6) Save the file as '3 Disks.ini'. Now right-click on the Rainmeter tray icon and select
;    'Refresh All'. Now go activate the '3 Disks.ini' skin and enjoy! :)

None of those skins work due to changes to Weather.com and IOHelix feeds.
Oh, there indeed are too many weather skins. In such cases I suggest to create and include one file, as you know usually a .inc file, which contains all needed WebParser measures, to acquire the weather information. This .inc file should contain all needed measures and should be used by all weather skins. This way if there is any change, only one single file should be rewritten. Would be a great improvement, in my opinion.

Here is a quite quick attempt about what have I talked about above.

The date collecting from TWC is accurate for the reporting location. This condition may appear randomly near the end of the day (11 pm ~12 am) due to daylight savings versus standard time from location to location.

The skin does not try to correct the data supplied by TWC, so what you see is what they are sending.
It is fairly accurate in most cases and it is a free source (I guess you get what you paid for ;-) ).

Yes, there are things that could be done to simplify the skins by combining common elements; (Variables, measures, etc.)

I am going to take a slow approach to making changes to Sarge's skins customizing; he offers quite a few options that now require manual editing of the code. I want to make sure any changes do not alter his original instructions, for now.

Combining variables and measures is a first step, that I agree would simplify things.
But that would also lock all variations to the same data; that may be good for some user, while others may want variants to show other locations... It is going to be a "give and take" decision.

Thanks for the combined measures; they may make it into a future update. :thumbup:
