Thanks a lot Sephirotess that worked...but the bar only comes out so far
compared to an ordinary bar meter,maybe i do need to find a percentage.
thanks again....

You're welcome
.
The code is based on the percentage of use of the "download". It may not be very effective for real-time downloading.
It might be more efficient if it worked on an average download. Something like that.
Code: Select all
[MeasureNetOut]
Measure=NetOut
NetOutSpeed=#maxUpload#
AverageSize=5
It's just an assumption. Someone will probably be able to help you more than I do on this subject.

Try this link
https://docs.rainmeter.net/tips/network-skin/ it has a good tutorial in getting your settings correct

Be careful, the NetInSpeed and NetOutSpeed options are
deprecated, you should avoid using them.

ok thanks Sephirotess tried the averageSize=5 but still the same.
and thanks cybertheworm/balala for the tips.I downloaded jsmorleys
so just gonna use that,but i still think Sephrotess's shape bar meter is cool.
thanks Tony...
help for gradients on combined shapes needed

Hi!
today i need some help with defining gradients on combined shapes.
my test-skin looks like this.
Screenshot Rainmeter Combined Gradients.jpg
in the first line you see a combined shape with a LinearGradient - it works as i thought it should.
in the line below you see the same shape(s) defined with RadialGradient(s) and i would expect to have a radial gradient starting from the center of the combined skin with a dark red over a yellow at half way and ending with a dark blue at the borders of the shape.
The first shape in 2nd line has the same stops as the shape with the LinearGradient but i only see th last defined color.
So i played around with the stops on the othe shapes in the 2nd line but i can't figure out how to set to achieve what i want.
Obviously it doesn't work with the definitions made.
Could someone explain to me how i manage to get the radial gradient to work?
code for the test-skin:
Code: Select all
[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
BackgroundMode=2
SolidColor=FFFFFFFF
[Meter_Shape_CombinedGradients]
Meter=SHAPE
; LINEAR Gradient
Shape= Ellipse (#WORKAREAX# + 100 - 30), (#WORKAREAY# + 75), 50, 50 | Fill LinearGradient LinGrad
Shape2=Ellipse (#WORKAREAX# + 100 + 30), (#WORKAREAY# + 75), 50, 50
Shape3=Combine Shape | Union Shape2
LinGrad=0 | 800000FF ; 0.0 | FFFF00FF ; 0.5 | 004080FF ; 1.0
; RADIAL Gradient(s)
Shape4=Ellipse (#WORKAREAX# + 100 - 30), (#WORKAREAY# + 200), 50, 50 | Fill RadialGradient RadGrad1
Shape5=Ellipse (#WORKAREAX# + 100 + 30), (#WORKAREAY# + 200), 50, 50
Shape6=Combine Shape4 | Union Shape5
RadGrad1=0, 0 | 800000FF ; 0.0 | FFFF00FF ; 0.5 | 004080FF ; 1.0
Shape7=Ellipse (#WORKAREAX# + 300 - 30), (#WORKAREAY# + 200), 50, 50 | Fill RadialGradient RadGrad2
Shape8=Ellipse (#WORKAREAX# + 300 + 30), (#WORKAREAY# + 200), 50, 50
Shape9=Combine Shape7 | Union Shape8
RadGrad2=0, 0 | 800000FF ; 0.0 | FFFF00FF ; 10.0 | 004080FF ; 20.0

Shape11=Ellipse (#WORKAREAX# + 500 + 30), (#WORKAREAY# + 200), 50, 50
Shape12=Combine Shape10 | Union Shape11

Maybe a problem with a bounding-box of the combined shape when using a radial shape? Hmmm....

Not quite sure, perhaps theAzack9 and / or Brian can take a look a this.
Here is some code, simply based on the example in the documentation that seems to demonstrate the issue.
Code: Select all
[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
BackgroundMode=2
SolidColor=255,0,0,90
[MeterShape]
Meter=Shape
Shape=Ellipse 50,50,50 | | StrokeWidth 0 | Fill RadialGradient MyGradient1
MyGradient1=0,0 | 155,200,232,255 ; 0.0 | 6,46,75,255 ; 1.0
Shape2=Ellipse 170,50,50 | StrokeWidth 0 | Fill RadialGradient MyGradient2
MyGradient2=0,0,20,20 | 155,200,232,255 ; 0.0 | 6,46,75,255 ; 1.0
Shape3=Combine Shape | Union Shape2
If you comment out Shape3, then the two individual shapes get the proper gradient just fine, when combined, it seems like something goes sideways.
