HDD activity indicators

[sl23]

Sorry no. I currently have drives C, D and E showing as just letters that with your original skin, would flash each according to drive activity. Since changing it to just the FontColor, it still worked fine. But now I've changed from the PerfMon to the UsageMonitor plugin, they all light up in sync with whatever it is that is triggering them. They all light up red or yellow or green at the same time.

Here's the full code down to E: only, which is as far as I have got as I only have the 3 drives connected at the moment:

Two things you should update:

• Replace the Category=PhysicalDisk options in all plugin measures with Category=LogicalDisk. The partitions of a hard-drive (SSD or whatever) are not physical drives, but logical drives.
• Replace the Instance=X: options with Name=X: (X: being C:, D: and E:, accordingly). If you don't add the Name option, I suppose the measures are using all the C: (some kind of default value, even if according to the manual this option doesn1t have a default value), so all of them are returning the same value.
