Making a switch style button, and adding sliding images

[Aceina]

That's exactly what I was trying to figure out! (and I can't believe I missed the dynamic variables). Thank you so much, this has helped me more than I could have ever predicted.

Glad to help. Have fun.

So I've started having this problem where upon rainmeter starting or refreshing the skin, the first time I click the button that fades everything in, it only fades them in half way. Then, once I fade them out and fade them back in, it works normally and fades them the rest of the way in. I know it's not just my computer as it happens on two different computers using two different OS's (windows 8 and 10). Not sure if I should be posting this in the bug thread.....

Another problem I'm having is occasionally it's as if rainmeter is lagging, and it fades them in at about half speed or worse, and i have to restart to fix it (even then that doesn't always work)
This may be more a problem with my laptop than rainmeter, but maybe you guys know the solution.

Any thoughts as to how to fix these?
