Stroke in shape meter doesn't work correctly in Rainmeter 4.3 when using bangs(?).

code to test

I don't see any difference in behavior between 4.2 and 4.3?

The initial stroke and fill colors of the Shape meter are both "invisible"

Color=Fill Color 0,0,0,0 | Stroke Color 255,0,0,0

So you get just the solid white Image meter showing.

Then the "over" bang sets the fill to a solid black, and the stroke color to a solid red.

That is working as expected.

Then the "leave" bang sets the fill and stroke to "invisible" again, so just the white Image meter is showing.

I see nothing about this that is incorrect in either 4.2 or 4.3, nor in any way different in 4.2 vs. 4.3.

Agreed with jsmorley.
The BG is a solid 50x50 white square covered by an invisible (fill color black transparent, stroke color red transparent) 50x50 rectangle
The code for mouse over makes the fill color black opaque, stroke color red opaque.
The code for mouse leave makes the fill color black transparent, stroke color red transparent.

You need to turn on hardware acceleration.

Left image is initial load, middle hover, right after leaving

Right image should look like left, but it doesn't.

I'm not getting that, with 4.2, 4.3 w/HWA or 4.3 wo/HWA.
Make sure you have the latest alpha from https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=123&t=28872

It seems to affect only certain graphic cards driver. I tried running rainmeter with different GPU and driver version and some have issue while other don't.

Well, I don't know. My only advice is to ensure that you have the latest and greatest drivers for any GPU you are using.

I tried using latest drivers from official site (Nvidia, Intel) and from Windows update.

Can anyone else replicate the undesirable behavior with the skin in the first post of this thread?
