I'm fairly new to Rainmeter but i have a little "bug" annoying me.
I use the "2disks" skin from Illustro theme. It's working fine "as-is" but since i want to monitor 8 disks, i had to edit it a little.
Instructions inside the skin file are quite straightforward and i've been able to configure it quickly, the only thing is that the progress bars in the skin are not always consistent.
Better than a long description, let's have a look at the thing directly :
As you can see, the measures are right. The figures in the rainmeter skin are correct but i don't understand why some progress bar are wrong ?
It's really obvious on disk G: since, the bar shows it's half full even if it's actually 5% full only. Regarding disk K:, there's also a glitch somewhere. Disk is shown as 100% full instead of 50%. L: is meant for removable devices, that's why readings are 0GB/0GB.
Here's the config file, maybe someone will spot something out
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) Now find the [meterBackground] section and change 2Line.png to 3Line.png in ImageName
; 5) Create a copy of the [meterLabelDisk2], [meterValueDisk2], and [meterBarDisk3].
; Rename all Disk2's in the copied sections to Disk3.
; 6) Now we need to change the Y= values to adjust height. Change Y= under [meterLabelDisk2]
; 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).
; 7) 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! :)
