[SOLVED]Having problems with making my own config skin.

Post by dv-ent »

can anyone help me with why this code isnt working :

Code: Select all


[Variables]
@Include=UserVariables.inc

[Title1]
meter=string
meterstyle=1
text="TextColor"
x=400
y=10


[ActualTextColor]
Meter=string
MeterStyle=1
Text="#TEXTCOLOR#"
x=100r
y=r
LeftMouseUpAction=!CommandMeasure "MeasureApp1 ExecuteBatch 1"



[MeasureApp1]
Measure=PLUGIN
Plugin=InputText.dll
W=100
H=15
x=500
y=10
MeterStyle=1
FocusDismiss=1
command1=!Execute [!WriteKeyValue Variables TEXTCOLOR "$UserInput$" "#UserVariables#"] [!Refresh]

UserVariables.ini code

Code: Select all

[Variables]
TEXTCOLOR=255,255,255
ie. i want the user to be able to change the text color by just inputting his text, then have uservariables.inc change the textcolor to that inputted text...

hope that makes sense

Try this:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[Variables]
@Include=UserVariables.inc

[Title1]
meter=string
text="TextColor"
x=400
y=10

[ActualTextColor]
Meter=string
Text="#TEXTCOLOR#"
x=100r
y=r
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
LeftMouseUpAction=!CommandMeasure "MeasureApp1 ExecuteBatch 1"
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureApp1]
Measure=PLUGIN
Plugin=InputText.dll
W=100
H=15
x=500
y=10
MeterStyle=1
FocusDismiss=1
command1=!Execute [!WriteKeyValue Variables TEXTCOLOR "$UserInput$" "#CurrentPath#UserVariables.inc"][!Refresh "#CURRENTCONFIG#"]
Important is DynamicVariables=1 on your meter for dynamical variables.
You had a " " between your two bangs on command1
Your !WriteKeyValue bang was wrong -> !WriteKeyValue [Section] [Key] [Value] (File)
[!Refresh "#CURRENTCONFIG#"] -> see the last note in the manual under Plugins/InputText

Sorry I don't have the time atm, for a better answer :)
