[SOLVED]Gmail calc help needed

[dv-ent]

its been a while since i dabbled with rainmeter, but i'd like to make a gmail meter.

But instead of showing a no. of unread emails, i'd like just the text 'mail' to be a different color when i have unread emails.

would this be possible using a calc. ie:

if no. of unread emails is above 1 , setoption color red
if no. of emails is below 1 setoption color green

thx in advance

Certainly

Just do exactly as you say, right on the WebParser measure if you want.

IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!SetOption SomeMeter FontColor 255,0,0,0
IfEqualValue=0
IfEqualAction=!SetOption SomeMeter FontColor 255,255,255,255

so why isnt this working ?

Code: Select all

======================================
GMAIL MEASURES
======================================


[mGmailCheckM]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser.dll
Url=https://#GMAILUSERNAME#:#GMAILPASSWORD#@gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom
RegExp="(?siU)<fullcount(.*)/fullcount>"
UpdateRate=1800
StringIndex=1
DecodeCharacterReference=0
Substitute=">":"","<":""
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!SetOption MeterMI FontColor f45544
IfEqualValue=0
IfEqualAction=!SetOption MeterMI FontColor 255,255,255


======================================
GMAIL METERS
======================================


[MeterMI]
Meter=STRING
MeasureName=mGmailCheckM
MeterStyle=1
X=400
Y=15
Text="MAIL"
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["https://mail.google.com"]

where am i going wrong ?

[jsmorley]

WebParser returns a string value, so it might be that we need to put the actions in a Calc measure.

Code: Select all

[mGmailCheckM]
Measure=Plugin

UpdateRate=1800

DecodeCharacterReference=0

[MeasureSetColor]
Measure=Calc
Formula=[mGmailCheckM]
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!SetOption MeterMI FontColor f45544
IfEqualValue=0
IfEqualAction=!SetOption MeterMI FontColor 255,255,255
DynamicVariables=1

There are no current plans for that. You can use !ShowMeter / !HideMeter instead.
