once again i ask for help

[aredhone]

Okay in short
when its saturday
i want to change the hight of a shape hence writekeyvalue 94
then Show text that i have to clean
on every other day i want to hide text clean and change the shape back to its originale size so writekeyvalue 58

i mean i think thats how that gos

but for some reason i have to refresh the skin manualy to make those changes take effect
and the weird thing is i have to refresh the skin twice
first time the text pups up seccond time the shape changes hight
same
with the its not saturday
refresh once clean gos away refresh seccond time shape changes back to normal

soo i have no idea what to do with that cause if i cant remember to clean my aquariums thats why this skin how am i supose to remember to refresh the skin daily twice

ps notepas++ and the rainmeter plugin are amazing did not now that was a thing

[aredhone]

and now im stuck in a loop xD
so that did not work

@aredhone ... Can you also post the contents of '#@#\INC\DayCount.inc' so we have all the variables? Thanks

[aredhone]

yea sure i have no idea how to edit a post but here we go

Code: Select all

[Variables]

DaysMainTank=24
DaysNanoTank=11
TaskSize=58
State=1
U=[!UpdateMeasure Slider][!UpdateMeterGroup Tanks][!Redraw]
ff1=Good Times
ff2=Arial
C1=30,30,30
C2=0,0,0
XPos1=80
XPos2=-80

EDIT: Moderator removed what appeared to be duplicate code. Is this the correct content?

[aredhone]

i changed update to 1000
as you said
and i have only one variables in the inc file

i tryde using the

Code: Select all

option of this side but faild once again

[aredhone]

im still completely lost

as far i understand you have a inc file with only one [Variable] tab in it

as the skin it self it should !refresh once after the ifmatch or ifnotmatch
but that starts an loop loop = bad
the !redraw dosent seem to work or i have no idea how it works

the only thing im stuck on now is that on saturday the shape should change size
and text should apear
on every other day the shape should be in it originale size and the text should not be visible

as of now it only works when i refresh it 2 times manualy
or keep it stuck in a loop
but both dont seem fun

[aredhone]

in the end i got it working with a 1 houre calc thing

Code: Select all

[MeasureDeactivate]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasureDeactivate+1
IfEqualValue=#TimeBuffer#
IfEqualAction=[!Refresh][!Delay 16][!Refresh]
Disabled=0

ut refreshes my skin 2 times every houre

ill be still looking for better options but for now im done

No need for that, the code below does what you need, append it to the original skin I made for you

Code: Select all

[TaskClean]

[MeasureClean]

IfMatch=Saturday
IfNotMatchAction=[!SetVariable TaskSize 58][!WriteKeyValue Variables TaskSize "58" "#@#DayCount.inc"][!HideMeter TaskClean][!ReDraw]
IfMatchAction=[!SetVariable TaskSize 94][!WriteKeyValue Variables TaskSize "94" "#@#DayCount.inc"][!ShowMeter TaskClean][!ReDraw]

Remember, the variables DaysMainTank and DaysNanoTank are updated automatically only if the skin is running 24/24, if this is not the case you need to update them manually every day...

Remember, the variables DaysMainTank and DaysNanoTank are updated automatically only if the skin is running 24/24, if this is not the case you need to update them manually every day...

If you don't want to run the skin 24/24 (the update in this case will be at midnight) you may change this measure in the original skin I made:

Code: Select all

[DaysCounter]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(86400-([GetTime:]%86400))
DynamicVariables=1
IfCondition=([DaysCounter] = 86400)
IfTrueAction=[!SetVariable DaysMainTank (#DaysMainTank #+1)][!SetVariable DaysNanoTank (#DaysNanoTank #+1)][!WriteKeyValue Variables DaysMainTank (#DaysMainTank #+1) "#@#DayCount.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables DaysNanoTank (#DaysNanoTank #+1) "#@#DayCount.inc"][!UpdateMeterGroup Tanks][!Redraw]

to

Code: Select all

[DaysCounter]
Measure=Calc
Formula=([GetTime:]%86400)
DynamicVariables=1
IfCondition=([DaysCounter] = (3600*14))
IfTrueAction=[!SetVariable DaysMainTank (#DaysMainTank#+1)][!SetVariable DaysNanoTank (#DaysNanoTank#+1)][!WriteKeyValue Variables DaysMainTank (#DaysMainTank#+1) "#@#DayCount.inc"][!WriteKeyValue Variables DaysNanoTank (#DaysNanoTank#+1) "#@#DayCount.inc"][!UpdateMeterGroup Tanks][!Redraw]

In this case the skin will update the variables at 14:00 hour (2pm); you can choose the hour you want the update to happen changing 3600*14 (the number 14) with the hour that fit best for you but , still, the skin must be running before that hour, otherwise the update for that day will be skipped
