Can I set a default to meters?

[SoaTehEnt]

Ok, so I've been doing lots of work with Rainmeter recently.. Spent 8 hours in the past 3 days reading the "How to" manual, and about 15 hours on a skin... I set it up, after a LOT of work and reading, to say the title of the song WMP is playing at that moment, but is it possible to set a text meter so it says something else while nothing is playing, by default?

Any help would be lovely! Thanks.

Yes I believe you can I've done it in a few skins. You would just use a Substitute line in the measure something like :

Code: Select all

[MeasureTrack]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlaying
PlayerName=WMP
PlayerType=TRACK
Substitute="":"N\A"

So the Line is saying Substitute "Nothing" : with the text "N\A"
Substitute="ReplaceMe":"WithMe"

I suggest looking at other peoples media player skins and deconstructing what they have done, it's a great way to learn!
