So im using this awesome rainmeter skin/dock by hysteria27 http://hysteria27.deviantart.com/art/Simple53-447658404 and am trying to add an icon for recycle bin that changes according to whether its full or empty.

When I add the following code it just makes a recycle bin appear in the top left of the screen but it seems to be totally separate to the skin and doesn't work as it should.

Code: Select all

[Variables]
 ;--------------
 ; Application 1
 ;--------------
   AppIcon1=Alienhead.png
   AppName1=This PC
   AppPath1=explorer.exe
   BgColor1=000000
 ;--------------
 ; Application 2
 ;--------------
   AppIcon2=[recyclebin]
   AppName2=Recycle Bin
   AppPath2=::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
   BgColor2=FF0000
 ;--------------
 ; Application 3
 ;--------------
   AppIcon3=Google Chrome.png
   AppName3=Google Chrome
   AppPath3=C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
   BgColor3=F4C20D
 ;--------------
 ; Application 4
 ;--------------
   AppIcon4=Word.png
   AppName4=Microsoft Word
   AppPath4=winword.exe
   BgColor4=2B5796
 ;--------------
 ; Application 5
 ;--------------
   AppIcon5=Photoshop.png
   AppName5=Adobe Photoshop
   AppPath5=C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017\Photoshop.exe
   BgColor5=0C5fA1

[recyclebin]
Meter=Image
DynamicVariables=1
LeftMouseUpAction=[::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]

[Measure]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=RecycleManager
RecycleType=Count
DynamicVariables=1
IfCondition=Measure = 0
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption recyclebin ImageName "Recycle Bin Empty.png"][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!SetOption recyclebin ImageName "Recycle Bin Full.png"][!Redraw]

What im basically trying to do is get AppIcon2 to be a recycle bin icon that changes according to bin status.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Not sure at all what you wanted to achieve with the AppIcon2=[recyclebin] option, but [recyclebin] being a meter, you can't attribute it to a variable (AppIcon2 in this case). If I don't misinterpreting what you would like, I'd say you have to replace the IfTrueAction and IfFalseAction options of the [Measure] measure, as it follows:

Code: Select all

[Measure]
...
IfCondition=Measure = 0
IfTrueAction=[!SetVariable AppIcon2 "Recycle Bin Empty.png"][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!SetVariable AppIcon2 "Recycle Bin Full.png"][!Redraw]

Take care to have both the Recycle Bin Empty.png and Recycle Bin Full.png images.
If you do so, you either should remove the [!Redraw] bangs, or better, add an !UpdateMeter (or eventually an !UpdateMeasure) bang, to update the section where the AppIcon2 variable is used.
Also be careful to not forget to add a DynamicVariables=1 option to the same section (meter or measure). When you're using a dynamically set variable, this option is absolutely required on the meter or measure where you're using the variable. Without it, that section won't properly work.

Hi UltimateRayon

To know recycle bin is whether empty or not, you have to use RecycleManager measure. and switch image file according to recycle-bin item count, already described in the first post of this thread, like as;

Code: Select all

[measureBinItems]
Measure=RecycleManager
RecycleType=Count
IfCondition=measureBinItems <> 0
IfTrueAction=[!SetVariable MidIconName2 (Icon file name for non-empty)]
IfFalseAction=[!SetVariable MidIconName2 (Icon file name for empty)]

[MidIcon2]
Meter=Image
MeterStyle=MainIconStyle | MidIconStyle
ImageName=#@#Icons\#MidIconName2#
