Help a newbie.

[Four]

Hello everyone, I'm starting to program and I'm very new to all this...

I'm having fun learning a few things, especially a rain gauge. I usually take some ready-made codes and modify them, identifying what each thing does. and so I learn little by little.

I had a doubt:
How do I add a transaction when I click Overlay?

My code is this:.

Thank you all in advance, and sorry for anything. I'm really a beginner at everything!

We need more info to help... too many missing variables to create a working example.

Please create a Rainmeter package of your skin and post it to this thread so a semi working skin can be tested.

A detailed explanation of what you want to happen would also help us help you.

How do I add a transaction when I click Overlay?

Besides what eclectic-tech said, my question is what you mean by "transaction"? Because me at least have no idea...

I'll go against the trend here (like always) and say that many times learning by creating a skin from scratch (i.e. from nothing) is often a better way of learning than modifying older, obsolete syntax and potentially more complex skin code. You have less work to do, less potential for mistakes, and understanding is easier, since the code you start with is simpler.

Anyway, if by "transaction" you meant "transition", like from hidden to shown but with a gradual fade, this is done using a plugin called ActionTimer, that can change variables and options in a way suited for animation. If you meant something else, you should clarify it, like both eclectic-tech and balala already mentioned.
