Setting two or more "Update=" values.

Post by Keilvethe »

Hi again. I'm editing a skin to add some animation to it. No problem with that. However, the original skin has multiple other meters (CPU, HDD, RAM, Time) so, when I set the "Update=" value under the [Rainmeter] section to "100" so that the animation flows nicely, the meters go all super-fast, rendering them virtually useless.

So, is there any way to set independent "Update=" values for the meters and for the animation?

Thanks in advance.

What you need to do is use UpdateDivider on the other meters/measures. What UpdateDivider does is tells Rainmeter to only update these meters/measures every so many updates. Anotherwords, if I put UpdateDivider=3 on a measure, that measure will only update every 3 updates.
