If the [Bar] meter is working as you expect it to (and that is not clear from the screenshots) then you probably just need to get rid of a few of the typos in [Knob]

Code: Select all

[Knob]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=75a534
W=4
H=3
X=(91 *([mProgress] / 100))
Y=86
Hidden=0
Group=Music
;BarOrientation=HORIZONTAL
DynamicVariables=1

Sorry, but it is still not clear to me. Could you put an arrow or some other marker on the pics to show where the problem lies. To me Pic 1 has no bar and no knob while Pic 2 has a bar at 100% and no knob.

EDIT: sorry now I see it. Try this as the [Knob] meter

Code: Select all

[Knob]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=75a534
W=4
H=3
X=(55+(87 *([mProgress] / 100)))
Y=86
Group=Music
DynamicVariables=1

The problem was that you had X=55 in your [Bar] Meter which tells Rainmeter to start the bar at 55 pixels from the left of the meter. You then had X=(91 *([mProgress] / 100)) in your [Knob] Meter which was telling Rainmeter to start showing the Knob at 0 + (91 *([mProgress] / 100)) pixels. So when progess was = 0 the Knob was being shown at X=0 or 55 pixels to the left of where it needed to be to be aligned with the bar.

So what I did was add 55 pixels to the start position of your [Knob] meter ( (X=(55+(87 *([mProgress] / 100))) ). Note I used 87 rather than 91 to allow for the fact that your knob had W=4 which meant it would be 4 pixels wide. If that causes any problems with your graphics then you can adjust it accordingly.

Hope that makes some sort of sense.
