Cobolt theme/skin adding more HDD?

[The Deacon]

First I would like to thank everyone involved with the Rainmeter program. As I am a first time user I have only 1 question regarding the amount of HDD one can have on the desktop widget. I was wondering as there are only 3 available is there a chance of adding more?

Thank you kindly in advance

I can be done easily enough, it currently has 3 as that is how many drives I have! How many were you after? The .ini below is for 4 hard drives, you will need to adjust the variables (I used C: a second time as the fourth drive to test).

Yes the bar meter colour has changed from Green to Cyan; I am red/green colour blind and it made no sense having a colour scheme I struggle to read. I think it fits better, so will be using it on the next release.
