If statements

[overture3d]

I am kind of new to rainmeter skin design and I need help understanding how to use if statements in a rainmeter skin. Basically what I want to do is when I click a button on the skin it changes the value of a variable. I then want to have the skin choose which picture to draw based on the value of the variable.

Thanks, and any help is appriciated.

Actually you don't necessarily need any IfActions for this. If the variable you want to set is the actual name of the image file, you could do something like this:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
MiddleMouseUpAction=!Refresh #CURRENTCONFIG#

[Variables]
FileName=Image1

[Setvar]
Meter=String
FontColor=ffffff
SolidColor=000000
LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetVariable FileName Image2][!Update]

[Image]
Meter=Image
X=r
Y=R
ImageName=C:\Some\Path\#FileName#.png
DynamicVariables=1

This will initially display Image1.png and then switch to Image2.png when you click the button.

If you want to cycle through a number of images when clicking the button, have a look at the Quote Plugin.
