Scroll rss feed bug...

[frankm1977]

(I) built a skin that you may have already check !! scroll rss feed!! made by me and 3 other who built the scroll effect. The prob is when the update rate is fast, like 10 or 20 it make bug my pc like when i open other prog, ( the new window flash hardly and finish by opening) or when i only mouseover other skin that have the function mouseover i see that there is something weird (the cursor flash) Is it rainmeter that dosen't support a too fast update rate.(BTW when i close this skin everything is ok) so i dont thing that my laptop is the trouble!!!!!

Thanks...

here the skin

An update of 15 is 15 miliseconds. Aka amazingly fast.
There should be no reason it's set that frequent...

That's less than 1/10 of a second.

[frankm1977]

Mistake it's not the update rate but the update....
To make it scroll at a good speed i dont have the choice to make it update fast with a small pixel movement...

Try it and you'll see, what i mean.....

Thanks

[JpsCrazy]

Ahh. I see what you mean.
I was thinking about a different scroller, not the marquee.

What other programs are you running?
I opened Maxthon, Photoshop, Explorer, etc with no problems.
(on WinXP, Rainmeter 1.2 beta (Newest))

The only time I had similar problems was when playing full screen games, and my update on those were rather slow. So I don't think it's the update.

[frankm1977]

I run it on Win 7, i try to make rainmeter run on vista compatibility like i had before, but i open simple program like when i open the .ini file of the skin or just paint but it bug too with photoshop and autocad ...

[Chewtoy]

I can't replicate this. Never had that problem when I tested the scrolling ether.
Why are you running on vista compability? Rainmeter works fine on 7.
And just to be sure that your CPU isn't killing itself: how fast is it? And how much usage do you get when you enable the scroller-skin?

[frankm1977]

The speed id 2GHz but it stay low when i enable it 800MHz, the Cpu usage is a littel bit higher, but nothing strange and the ram is ok too it run at 24 -25% like usual when is idle...

[Chewtoy]

Strange. Might it be something with your graphic card perhaps?

[frankm1977]

i check it and everything is ok, the driver is up to date it'a an ATI Radeon X1200 series it's not he big thing but ok...

[smurfier]

Try running performance monitor (perfmon) from your search bar. It should tell you exactly where the cpu usage is coming from.
