That would work. I will poke around with Registry a bit though. It "looks" like it might be checking for the key, and if it is not found at all, is setting some "key doesn't exist" flag so it doesn't keep banging on it for no reason. Might be able to change that behavior.mikeyo wrote:Ah, indeed, never spotted that, thanks.
I suppose I just need to use a startup delay type app to ensure rainmeter starts after everest....

Re: Rainmeter update measure=registry problem
Do me a favor, and get the correct version of this build for your system, install it, and try your skin again with Rainmeter loading before Everest.
Rainmeter-1.2-r390-32bit-beta.exe
Rainmeter-1.2-r390-64bit-beta.exe
Let me know if it now works correctly.
Rainmeter-1.2-r390-32bit-beta.exe
Rainmeter-1.2-r390-64bit-beta.exe

Re: Rainmeter update measure=registry problem
Ok, here is one more version to try:
Rainmeter-1.2-r391-32bit-beta.exe
Rainmeter-1.2-r391-64bit-beta.exe
The one I sent a bit ago fixed the problem when the key didn't exist when the skin was loaded, but still had an issue if the key was deleted while the skin was loaded. So it would properly change to the new value, but not back to "0" if you deleted the key while the skin was running. That is fixed in this new one.
Give it a try and make sure it works for you.
Glad you found this. I think it works better now.
THANKS TO MATTKING FOR MAKING THE FIX IN THE CODE! WE OWE HIM A BEER!

I think we should come up with another type of reward for our devs...jsmorley wrote:

The more work they do the drunker they will be, quality may begin to suffer.
I'm wondering if this type of fix might be possible with the Window Message plugin as well. You know how the title info from media players for example "sticks" after the player is closed?
