- I want the Cpu (inner line) to display like the other 2. Total=1 on Cpu might not be a thing.
Not sure what you mean. It is looking the same way, as far as I can tell.

- The tooltips are all crammed up. (It's like, first come, first serve but we are using the same space)
Unfortunately no solution. The Roundlines are in the same position and have the same size, even if the radius of them are different. There is no way to make them to display different tooltips when you're hovering the mouse over different parts. Sorry...

This is the problem I think should be rectified. When you hover a normal bar, it shows a tooltip even over the solid colour. Hover over a Roundline should be the same. i.e. If you specify that Roundline meter is a certain 'thickness' then that part, along with it's SolidColor, should be the only part that shows a tool tip or has mouse actions performed on it, not the entire meter that is not even seen.

You should post a suggestion for the Dev Team and see what might be possible...
Or
Why not use stacked ellipse shape meters rather than roundline? The mouse only responds to the drawn portion of each shape, not the entire meter size.  |

The blue parts are for swaptotal and ramtotal. They show how far the lines can go (270 degrees).
For the inner (cpu) part, creating a cputotal measure did not work (so I removed it). Maybe a calc measure can create a 270 degree roundline (I have not tried that approach yet)

Uh, bummer. I'll try another approach

I was (and still am) under the impression that roundlines are a bit more efficient than shapes. I prefer to use
DynamicVariables=1only when it is necessary(in visualizers... or..visualizers..) But these hiccups are denying me the pleasure. So, you are right. Ellipses are the go to for this one.

You are so right about that. It's quite weird having 3 tool tips at the same place and all over the place.

Why didn't I think of that?!

I think you meant arc... Cause ellipses can't do roundlines

Yep, you caught me
Arc shape is what should be used.

I see. Add the following measure to your code:
Code: Select all
[mTotalCPU]
Measure=Calc
Formula=1
UpdateDivider=-1
Also add, between the [mswap] and [rcpu] meters (is important their order) the following meter:
Code: Select all
[cput]
Meter=ROUNDLINE
measurename=mTotalCPU
h=80
w=80
startangle=(rad(90))
rotationangle=(rad(270))
linestart=10
linelength=15
linecolor=0,0,255
solid=1
;ToolTipTitle=C p u
;ToolTipIcon=info
;ToolTipText=%1%
;ToolTipType=1
UpdateDivider=-1
Note that here I removed (in fact commented out) the Tooltip related options, doesn't worth to have the same Tooltip on both, the [cput] and the [rcpu] meters as well. The same applies for the [mrat] and [mra], respectively the [mswapt] and [mswap] meter pairs, which also should have to have removed the duplicated Tooltips.
Also removed the quotes around the TooltipTitle and TooltipText options, which are
simply ignored by Rainmeter, so they are useless.

I think sl23
did it instead of you.
