Hello and Thank you for this nice little Meter.
Just one question: Is it possible to hide/show (toggle on/off) individual meter instead to hide/show all meter? If so, what do I have to do, how must the code look/be like in this specific meter of yours?
Yes.
Groups can be used to define skins, meters, or measures. The advantage of groups is being able to control multiple items (skins, meters, or measures) using a single group action bang instead of having to specify and take the action on each item. My skin does not use grouping (per say), it takes advantage of the asterisk character (*) which refers to "all items" when used in an action bang.
As an example, here is the code for a simple 3 "page" skin which uses groups to define meters.

Look at the group definitions to see how they are applied to meters and used in action bangs to control the display.
Code: Select all

With kind regards,
All of those methods will do the same thing; they create groups of skins. Normally, this is done by adding the group definition in the [Rainmeter] section of the skin when you create it:
Code: Select all
[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
AccurateText=1
Group=Group1 | Group2
The "section" that includes the "Group=..." definition determines if it is defining a group of skins (when added to the [Rainmeter] section), a group of meters (when added to a meter sections), or a group of measures (when added to a measure sections).
Look through the info here and in the manual and ask any questions you may still have...
