About HDD details shown

[Agromancer]

By default we can see hdd capacity and how much space used: Ex.: 200gb/250gb used but i really want to see how much space left, I don't care how much space used and I would like to see something like 50gb free/left etc from 250gb or something like that, not 200gb/250gb used.

Can some1 help me pls, I have no knowledge

Assuming you are talking about the default illustro skins that come with Rainmeter:

Code: Select all

; NOTE! If you want to add more disks, take a look at 'Disks 2.ini'.

; contents of the [styleTitle] section here during runtime.
X=100
Y=12
W=190
H=18
Text="Disks"
; Even though the text is set to Disks, Rainmeter will display
; it as DISKS, because styleTitle contains StringCase=UPPER.

[meterLabelDisk1]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=styleLeftText
X=10
Y=40
W=190
H=14
Text="#disk1#\"

[meterValueDisk1]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=styleRightText
MeasureName=measureFreeDisk1
MeasureName2=measureTotalDisk1
X=200
Y=0r
; r stands for relative. In this case, the Y postition of meterValueCPU is 0 pixels
; below the Y value of the previous meter (i.e it's the same as in meterLabelCPU).
W=190
H=14
Text="%1B of %2B free"
; %1 stands for the value of MeasureName (measureUsedDisk1 in this case).
; %2 stands for the value of MeasureName2.
NumOfDecimals=1
AutoScale=1
; Because disk measures return the free/used space in bytes, we must use AutoScale=1 to
; automatically scale the value into a more readable figure.
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["#disk1#\"]
; Open #disk1# on click

[meterBarDisk1]
Meter=BAR
MeterStyle=styleBar
MeasureName=measureUsedDisk1
X=10
Y=52
W=190
H=1

So what I did was add a new measure:

Code: Select all

[measureFreeDisk1]
; Returns value of free disk space
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=#disk1#
InvertMeasure=0
UpdateDivider=120

Which will get the "free" disk space. We need to leave the one that was already there, that gets the "used" disk space, as we need that for the Bar meter.

Then further down, I changed this String meter:

Code: Select all

[meterValueDisk1]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=styleRightText
MeasureName=measureFreeDisk1
MeasureName2=measureTotalDisk1
X=200
Y=0r
; r stands for relative. In this case, the Y postition of meterValueCPU is 0 pixels
; below the Y value of the previous meter (i.e it's the same as in meterLabelCPU).
W=190
H=14
Text="%1B of %2B free"
; %1 stands for the value of MeasureName (measureUsedDisk1 in this case).
; %2 stands for the value of MeasureName2.
NumOfDecimals=1
AutoScale=1
; Because disk measures return the free/used space in bytes, we must use AutoScale=1 to
; automatically scale the value into a more readable figure.
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["#disk1#\"]
; Open #disk1# on click

To change MeasureName=measureUsedDisk1 to MeasureName=measureFreeDisk1

And changed Text="%1B/%2B used" to Text="%1B of %2B free"

Saved the file and refreshed, and got:

If you want to do this with the 2 Disk version of the skin, make the same changes, but do it for both disks.

Awesome, i like it now!

i changed a bit for 2 disks, i think i miss something but its working fine

; ----------------------------------

; 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! :)
