[Solved] Trouble with mousover popup functions

Post by SysMunky »

I've been trying to understand !RainmeterShowMeterGroup and !ShowMeterGroup. My goal has been to utilize the same style as Gnometer suite, so I have taken the basic clock and began from there, adding in my own list of apps (which i probably did inefficiently, but that is besides the point.). I'll show a snippet of what I have since I know my application links work,.

The issue I am having is that my list *only* shows when I am over the title area and not as I move my mouse into the list.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Author=SysMunky (using Gnometer)
AppVersion=1003000
Update=3000
;changed update rate to see if that solved my trouble. Original value: 1000
MouseActionCursor=0
MiddleMouseDownAction=!RainmeterDeactivateConfig
BackgroundMode=1
MouseOverAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeterGroup list][!Redraw]
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeterGroup list][!Redraw]


[Metadata]
Name=Application Launcher
Config=Gnometer | Clock
;Not sure if the config line is super important, so leaving that there in case it screws styles or such up
Description=Popup application launcher using Gnometer by poiru (Not affiliated
Version=0.1.0
License=Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 3.0

[Variables]
skin.Style=Horizontal
links="C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Skins\MyDock\Links\"
@Include=#ROOTCONFIGPATH#SETTINGS\Variables.inc

; STYLES ======================================

@Include2=#ROOTCONFIGPATH#SETTINGS\Style#skin.Style#.inc

; METERS ======================================

[Line]
Meter=IMAGE
MeterStyle=sLine
MouseOverAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeterGroup list][!RainmeterRedraw]

[Icon]
Meter=IMAGE
MeterStyle=sIcon
ImageName=apps.png
;ToolTipText="Add or remove programs";
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [control.exe appwiz.cpl]
MouseActionCursor=1

[Title]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=sTitle
X=45
Text="Applications"

;background
Meter=IMAGE
MeterStyle=sIcon
ImageName=bg.png

;This didn't solve the problem
;MouseOverAction=!Execute [!ShowMeterGroup list][!RainmeterRedraw]

;World of Tanks XVM Enabled
[meterXVM]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=sSubtitle
X=15
Y=25r
W=150
Group=list
Text="World of Tanks XVM"
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["#links#\xvm.lnk"]

;World of Tanks Launcher (for Updates)
[meterWoTLauncher]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=sSubtitle
X=15
Y=12r
W=150
Group=list
Text="World of Tanks Launcher"
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["#links#\wot.lnk"]
The list of apps is longer, but there are only a couple to illustrate my point. Is there something obvious that i am missing in getting the list to stay shown until I leave that area? If I need to include anything else I more than happily make it accessible to help figure out my error. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

I'm a moron apparently. I failed to define my Background. Upon fixing this ridiculously simple error (and having done more research) I solved the error myself.
