How to create illustro 9 Disk and more background.png

Post by -JP- »

Hi,

New to rainmeter after some text editing I finally figured out how to put all my disk in.
Now it seems that there is no background for 9 disks :(

Can someone do a step by step with some free software on how to create a 9 disk and up background that looks exactly like the original ones?

Thnx!

Here's a better way that will allow an infinite amount of lines:
1) Remove the [meterBackground] section entirely (i.e. the lines from [meterBackground] to Y=0)
2) Add the following under the [Rainmeter] section at the top:

Code: Select all

BackgroundMode=3
Background=#SKINSPATH#\illustro\SHARED\Background1Line.png
BackgroundMargins=0,34,0,14
3) Enjoy :)

Perfect, thanx!!!

Only I get an error for disk9: The meter [meterValueDisk9] cannot be bound with [measureTotalDisk9]

The disk shows as: 1.8TB/%2B used

It does not seem to be able to get the total disk space? (2T drive)

Disk9 config dump:
[meterLabelDisk9]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=styleLeftText
X=10
Y=200
W=190
H=14
Text="#disk9#\"
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["#disk9#\"]

[meterValueDisk9]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=styleRightText
MeasureName=measureUsedDisk9
MeasureName2=measureTotalDisk9
X=200
Y=0r
W=190
H=14
Text="%1B/%2B used"
NumOfDecimals=1
AutoScale=1

[meterBarDisk9]
Meter=BAR
MeterStyle=styleBar
MeasureName=measureUsedDisk9
X=10
Y=212
W=190
H=1

You have forgotten to create the [measureTotalDisk9] section.

The section I had was: [measureTotalDis9]
I missed the typo :(

thanks for the hint!
