Color not working

Hello there, there is an issue with my rainmeter skin. The color doesn't change when i use "IfAboveValue"

le code:

First off, !RainmeterSetvariable is not a thing. It is only !Setvariable.
Correct that and see what happens. More info after I test your code.

[David8192]

Replace your bangs with these

Code: Select all

IfAboveValue=39
IfAboveAction=[!SetVariable GPUTEMPColor 255,0,0,255][!UpdateMeter "meterGPUValue"][!Redraw]
IfBelowValue=40
IfBelowAction=[!SetVariable GPUTEMPColor 255,255,255,205][!UpdateMeter "meterGPUValue"][!Redraw]

Code: Select all

IfAboveValue=29
IfAboveAction=[!SetVariable CPUTEMPColor 255,0,0,255][!UpdateMeter "meterCPUValue"][!Redraw]
IfBelowValue=30
IfBelowAction=[!SetVariable CPUTEMPColor 255,255,255,205][!UpdateMeter "meterCPUValue"][!Redraw]

Then, under [meterGPUValue] and [meterCPUValue] add DynamicVariables=1.
It should work fine now. Let me know how it goes.

Well, in fact, !RainmeterSetVariable is perfectly valid bang. It's true that the !Rainmeter... bang prefix has been deprecated long time ago, however for backward compatibility reasons it can be used further. Yeah, it is a good idea to be avoided, but if used, it doesn't prevent the skin to work.

Then, under [meterGPUValue] and [meterCPUValue] add DynamicVariables=1.

Adding the DynamicVariables=1 option to the meters where the set variables are used is precisely what has to be done. Adding the !UpdateMeter... and !Redraw bangs can improve the code and it's always a good idea to be used (the color setting will go on much quicker), but without them the color setting still should work. Lack of DynamicVariables=1 on the other hand, prevents proper color setting.
And one more which I always recommend to take into account, even if this is not absolutely required. Always recommend to include the set value of the variable into quotes. For instance the first IfAboveValue posted by you above (IfAboveAction=[!SetVariable GPUTEMPColor 255,0,0,255][!UpdateMeter "meterGPUValue"][!Redraw]) would be much better in the following form: IfAboveAction=[!SetVariable GPUTEMPColor "255,0,0,255"][!UpdateMeter "meterGPUValue"][!Redraw]. In this particular case this makes no difference at all, but it's a good habit to get used to add those quotes, because in some circumstances they are required (for example when the string which has to be set contains spaces). Note that a color code (like 255,0,0,255) even if is composed by three or four numbers, is in fact a string (because it contains commas). And a string should always be included into quotes.

My bad. I don't check with deprecated bangs, but good to know.

"255,0,0,255"

.
Yeah, I should definitely get in the habit.

[balala]

Yeah, I should definitely get in the habit.

Don't misunderstand, omitting the quotes does not affect the bang in this case. But as said, would be a good idea to form the habit of using them.

No worries. I understood you.
