Illustro Disk2 skin help

Iconic985 · Post by **Iconic985** » September 3rd, 2012, 11:48 pm

Hello all

I have a customized version of the Illustro Disk2 skin that displays two of my network drives but one of them is displayed as Bytes out GB. I've attached below a screen clipping of the Network drives skin.

I was wondering if there was a way to change it to somthing else other than bytes out of Gigabytes?

Thanks

PS the drive i want to change is I:

Add this line

Code: Select all

AutoScale=1

to the [meterValueDisk1] meter in your skin.

This should automatically scale the numbers for you.

EDIT: Looking at your first number makes me think there may be something else wrong...
Post your code if this does not fix it for you.

Yeah that code didn't really help. I have attached the code for the skin below.

Code: Select all

; Lines starting ; (semicolons) are commented out.
; That is, they do not affect the code and are here for demonstration purposes only.

; HOWTO: Adding more disks
; ----------------------------------
; Adding more disks is a pretty straightforward process. Follow the following steps to turn
; this 2 disks skin into a 3 disks skin. You can then extend it even further as you wish.
;
; 1) Create a new variable called disk3=X: directly below disk2=D: in the [Variables] section
; 2) Create a copy of the [measureTotalDisk2] and [measureUsedDisk2] sections
; 3) Rename the copied sections to [measureTotalDisk3] and [measureUsedDisk3], respectively.
;    Also change Drive=#disk2# to Drive=#disk3#
; 4) Create a copy of the [meterLabelDisk2], [meterValueDisk2], and [meterBarDisk2].
;    Rename all Disk2's in the copied sections to Disk3.
; 5) Now we need to change the Y= values to adjust height. Change Y= under [meterLabelDisk3]
;    to Y=80 (calculated by adding 20 to the Y= value of previous meterLabel).
;    Then change Y= under [meterBarDisk3] to Y=92 (calculated by adding 20 to the Y= value of previous meterBar).
; 6) Save the file as '3 Disks.ini'. Now right-click on the Rainmeter tray icon and select
;    'Refresh All'. Now go activate the '3 Disks.ini' skin and enjoy! :)

Yes, the code looks okay. I would try to increase the UpdateDivider time to 120; at 2 or 5 there may not be enough time to complete the update over the network before it is called again.
I moved your measures to before your meters in the code.

Try this:
