As tass_co already said, whenever are you posting codes, you should include them into <code> tags. This can be done by the </> button in the menu of this forum. If you do this, you can't color parts of codes, as you did with plain text. I added the needed tags, but didn't remove the [color] tags, but as you can see, it is not applied in codes.
However, none of the posted options are not valid in the form you've used them. They all are options which should not be used in the code of your skin, but into the [Skin] section of the Rainmeter.ini. Rainmeter.ini is the file which stores all skins-related settings. It can be accessed by a right-click to the Rainmeter icon in the Notification Area, then a click to Edit settings. You get opening the Rainmeter.ini file into the default text editor. Here you should identify the name of your config. All three options (HideOnMouseOver, FadeDuration and AlphaValue) should be added in the appropriate secztion of this file, with the following mentions:
  • HideOnMouseOver is a deprecated (5th point here) option and has been replaced by OnHover.
  • FadeDuration might be used as a bang as well (but I think this is not what you want).
  • AlphaValue - no comment here.
Besides this, question is what exactly would you want to achieve, because same way as tass_co, me didn't really understood your intention either.

MeaChild 1 and 2 are not hidden. And if I hover off a meter it stays visible unless I delete it.

I think I understand what you want to do.
I don't know the code :oops:

(Back to the old code)
Hover over Skin and right click;
. Settings>OnHover>Fade in
. Settings>Transparency>%100

In this way, the skins will be in their current places but will not be visible.
They will appear when you hover over them with the mouse.
I don't know where i going from here, but i promise it won't be boring... :great:

[MeaChild1] and [MeaChild2] are measures. Measures have no visual elements, they are not visible and accordingly can't be set hidden or shown.

On the other hand, if tass_co found a solution to your problem, itQs alright. If he didn't, please summarize a little bit what you want to do, because I'm not sure anymore I follow everything. I thinking to something like:
  • I'd like to have the skin not-visible / visible.
  • The X meter(s) should be visible / not-visible.
  • When hovering the mouse over something to get visible the X meter
  • And so on.
