Total HDD Status bar

[TweaknFreak]

In my skin I've a config to show the percentage each partition has on the total HDD space. But I cannot think of the required code. All i did was to add each Measure of each partition which calculates space of each partition but I'm lost in the place where I will calculate the percentage of each. Please help.Here's some of the working codes :-

REMEMBER - The percentage status bar I'm trying to show for each partition is an IMAGE BAR.

Here is an approach you can look at to work into your skin. Just change the bar to use any image you like instead of BarColor, make sure the image is the size you want (it can't be resized in Rainmeter) and that you set the W and H on the background and bar meters to match.

Code: Select all

Or you could do something clever like:

Code: Select all

[MeterUsedBarBack]

W=300
H=20
SolidColor=150,150,150,255

[MeterUsedBar]
Meter=Bar
MeasureName=MeasureUsedAll
W=300
H=20
BarOrientation=Horizontal
BarColor=255,0,0,255

[MeterFreeBar]
Meter=Bar
MeasureName=MeasureFreeAll
W=300
H=20
Flip=1
BarOrientation=Horizontal
BarColor=0,255,0,255

Will try and let you know.

[TweaknFreak]

I think you couldnt get me properly. I'll include an example for better understanding.

Suppose I have a 250 GB hard drive and it has 2 partitions - A & B.
A has 100 GB
B has 150 GB

Now in that hexagonal meter(I included the image in attachments) for A, The L-shaped bar at the bottom will show a bluish tinge upto = [(100/250) * 100] % of its entire width. Likewise the B one will show = [(150/250) * 100] % bluish tinge.

I hope that clarifies me.

Not really, I don't see any images in your attachments, just two white squares.

Do you mean something like this?

Darker parts denote used space of disk. Parts are scaled to relative disk size. Note: Uses features of most recent Rainmeter beta (gotta love those section variables).

But the problem is its not working. I'm attaching the image required. Please save it on your computer because the image has so less opacity that its hardly visible in this forum.

[MerlinTheRed]

Your [XXXPercent] measures don't make sense. For example this formula: Formula=(#HDD2#/[TotalDiskSpace]) * 100 is trying to divide the variable #HDD2#, which is the string "D:" by a numerical value. No wonder that doesn't work.

Additionally, your bar meters are placed statically 70 pixels to the right from the x coordinate of the previous meter. You need to use at least "R" to place it exactly at the right edge of the previous meter.

If you really want to use bar meters, you need to do this:

• Make the width of the bar dependent on the relative size of the disk about like this: W=([HDDXTotal]/[TotalDiskSpace]*#WidthFactor#)
• The measure the bar uses is the normal disk usage measure without any modifications
• If you want it to look like on my screenshot, the bars need to be placed dynamically next to each other. The easiest way is to put them one after the other in the ini file and then use X=R on all but the first one.

On top of that, you can't set the width of a bar meter if you use BarImage. I just found this out too. If you use a BarImage, the bar will always be as wide as the image you specified. So no setting the bar width to a size relative to the disk space if you use BarImage.

Correct. What Bar does with BarImage is "expose" the percentage of the total image that matches the percentage value of the MeasureName= measure divided by MaxValue. It does not alter the image in any way, nor can you set W and H and have it change the size of the image.

[TweaknFreak]

Okay, but then how do I use that image "1.png" for displaying each drive's percentage of the total hard drive space ??? Use some other meter ???
