They both refresh the meters, though. That's where I'm confused.

!Refresh refreshes the entire skin. It re-reads the .ini file, refreshes the measures and meters... with the exception of "counters", it is pretty much the same as unloading and reloading the skin.Virginityrocks wrote:They both refresh the meters, though. That's where I'm confused.
!Redraw just refreshes meters. It is mostly used to force an update of a meter when you have changed the value of a supporting measure or variable with !SetOption or !SetVariable or a Lua script, so the meter is updated without having to wait for the next full "update".
