Imported measure is not working in the main skin.ini file

[Innocent_Zero]

I created a skin that had imported Vars.inc and Measures.inc
Vars.inc:

When I click on Header 2 it is supposed to switch through the 9 colours mentioned in vars.inc. However it changes to yellow (the colour currently mentioned in the [MeasureHighlightColor] section; and then stagnates. I checked the other two measures by displaying their values and they work fine but this one doesn't. How do I fix this?

Edit: I checked the log file; but I don't think it is right since the other two measures are updating perfectly.

In '#@#Measures.inc' you use multiple IfEqual test, but you can only have one of these in a single measure.
You should use IfCondition test instead.

I have not tried your complete code, but this change should be made to #@#Measures.inc

Code: Select all

Formula=MeasureHeaders+1

Thanks eclectic-tech . It works perfectly now. This is basically a minimalist note taking skin I was making. Now the next challenge is UserInput. I'll soon post it. It's going to be my first ever skin I'm posting ANYWHERE!

Good to hear!

I'll bet it won't be the last skin you create!

Look forward to seeing what you created
