HD R/W skin, reads don't show

[scratch67]

I know there is not much read activity. I checked Performance Monitor. I tried to find out why, no luck. Hopefully someone here can see the "bug". Speaking of bugs, no errors in the log. I # the MaskImage lines recently. The write's part works fine.

Code: Select all

[MeasureDiskReads]
Measure=Plugin

Counter=Disk Reads/sec

[MeasureDiskWrites]

Your code is mostly correct, and produces the desired effect for me. You should replace the # with ; to comment out lines though. Also, not sure if it helps, but reducing those X and Y values would not be a bad idea - you don't need your skin to extend over your entire screen, you can instead move it accordingly.

And yes, usually there are few reads, but try getting some folder's properties or compute the size of its contents and you'll see that the read meter also works.

I've worked the XY coordinates thinking it might be off the screen.

And did it work?

I found it! I noticed the "green" read on the lower left of my screen. Adjusted the XY so that it is next to the "red" write in the lower right location.

Studying up on the W H parameters now....

Alright - glad you found a way to achieve what you wanted.
