First of all, welcome

I don't see a problem in your code. I think there is a problem with your image files.

If you share the skin you made as a package, we can help you better.

Or you can use it by modifying the skin I made and shared for you below.
Animation_1.0.rmskin

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=100

[MeaAnim]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Counter % 46

[MtrAnim]
Meter=Image
ImageName=#@#Background\frame_[MeaAnim].png
DynamicVariables=1
W=128
PreserveAspectRatio=1

What do you mean by "isn't just working"? There is nothing shown on the screen or the animation is not playing properly?
In first case tass_co is right. You should check the images if they:
  • Are in the correct location (in the @Resources\Background folder).
  • The names of images are indeed from frame_0 to frame_60.
  • The format of images is .gif.
