Changing between layouts

[Krainz]

Hello!

I'm working on a skin that would make use of various layouts, and in order to switch between them, I need a code that would perform that on-demand. Is there any kind of code that does it?

Before 2.4 I used the following:

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [!HideMeter b1] [!ShowMeter b1C] ["#ADDONSPATH#RainThemes\RainThemes.exe" "/load" "omnimodefinitive"] [!Redraw]

But now after updating Rainmeter I receive the following error message:

(also, it takes a lot to 'load', whilst performing the layout switch through the menu has barely no wait time)

tl;dr: what is the bang to quickly switch between layouts?

RainThemes is an old outdated addon.

Rainmeter 2.4 introduces the !LoadLayout bang.

Thank you!

So it would be something like

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [!HideMeter b1] [!ShowMeter b1C] [!LoadLayout "omnimodefinitive"] [!Redraw]

But the layout loads without even showing meter b1C... Is there way I can put a wait time into it?

Like

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [!HideMeter b1] [!ShowMeter b1C] [!Wait 500] [!LoadLayout "omnimodefinitive"] [!Redraw]

Where '500' is in milliseconds

Loading a layout unloads all skins then loads the skins listed in the selected layout.

!HideMeter and !ShowMeter are not preserved between layouts. You would need to use !WriteKeyValue for that.

No, I want to show the meter (a clicked button) right before loading the next layout, not after.

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=[!HideMeter b1] [!ShowMeter b1C] [!EnableMeasure cCounter] [!Redraw]

[cCounter]
Measure=Calc
Formula=cCounter+1
IfAboveValue=500
IfAboveAction=!LoadLayout "omnimodefinitive"
Disabled=1

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but with that code the meter b1C is shown but the Layout never changes

[smurfier]

You'll have to change the IfAboveValue=500 to a smaller number. That is basically 500 updates after you click the button.

If you just want it to run on the following update:

Code: Select all

[cCounter]
Measure=Calc
Formula=1
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!LoadLayout "omnimodefinitive"
Disabled=1
