Integrating dynamically changing font size code into app volume control

Post by meowbox »

Hello there! I'm a new user here, and newish to Rainmeter as well.

I'm working on a skin right now that displays the audio levels of applications and allows you to adjust them. It's a variation of a volume control skin I found at: https://github.com/khanhas/AppVolumePlugin/releases (the example skin). It took me a while but I was successful in understanding the weird format of incrementing index to alter it and make it look like I want in regard to the 2 dynamic bars and the name of the apps. The issue comes when I try to use a dynamic font-changing code to fit long titles into a specific width. I also found one for this online https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=31547 (basically copied and edited Yincognito's code from the 2nd comment, it's the first code below). Once I got that to work by itself, I put it into the app volume control (second code below) and tested it for a long time, but it only worked when I didn't use the indexing system (%% after each variable/meter). I feel like I'm incorrectly using DynamicVariables, the Bangs, or am misunderstanding the indexing. If anyone is able to help with understanding the indexing system and the bangs/actions, that would be much appreciated!

edit: oh yeah, and the [MeterTextVol%%] meter is supposed to display the volume of the app, but I have no idea how to get the value from [AppVol%%], as it always returns 0 (do I use AppVol%% , [AppVol%%] , or [AppVol%%:] ?).
