Cant figure this one out.

[John877]

Im new to Rainmeter and trying to figure out a clean drive info meter. I took the code on the FreeDiskSpace(beta) page under help and it works fine for C but cant seem to get it to work for D E and F. I have labelled the measures and meters differently to avoid conflictions as well.

Heres what it looks like right now:


Heres the skin code:

You are really close.

MeasureName is per meter. So if you start at 5 (ie. MeasureName5) with out 4, 3, ..., your meter will not be bound to any measure. I hope that makes sense.

Also, you have an Update=500, and UpdateDivider=2 on all your measures. Although there is nothing wrong with this, simply use a Update=1000.

Here you go:

Code: Select all

Update=1000

Well good to know I wasnt TOO far off at least. considering Ive not really used this program before.

Thanks for that.

Another thing, If not too much to change, is it possible to have the "C:\Windows" part left aligned and the rest of it aligned to the right so the numbers and such line up?

Yes, but it will involve adding additional String meters using the StringAlign option.

[John877]

Can you give an example? How would I break them up?

[Brian]

Code: Select all

[MeterCDriveInfo]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureCDiskLabel
X=0
Y=0
W=365
H=20
FontSize=10
FontColor=255,255,255,255
AntiAlias=0
AutoScale=1
Text="C:\%1"

[MeasureCDriveInfo2]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureCFreeDiskSpace
MeasureName2=MeasureCUsedDiskSpace
MeasureName3=MeasureCTotalDiskSpace
X=365
Y=0
FontSize=10
FontColor=255,255,255,255
AntiAlias=0
AutoScale=1
StringAlign=Right
Text="[Free: %1B] [Used: %2B] [Total: %3B]"

Of course this is just for the 'C' drive, you will have to add the rest.

BTW - You will like MeterStyles. Makes your code much shorter.

This can be closed now unless you leave things open for others to comment or ask further updates.


Thanks for the help.
