fix - skins keeps moving

Post by juul vereijken »

hi,
i have instaled an skin [https://www.deviantart.com/chusecubr/art/Docket-2-0-0-916296666] and it keeps moving out of my screen.
i have tried:
[*]to turn of movement,
[*]set the location to a specific cordinate
when i do this, it keeps chaning the cordenate to an lower one that i can set.
for example: i set the Y cordenate to 800, then it automaticly sets it to 695. after a few seconds it automatilcy sets it to 801.
[*]set the location in the files to a specific cordinate
thank you in advence.

this is caused by the OnRefreshAction options of the [Rainmeter] sections. All skins belonging to this package have this option. For instance the option of the earlier mentioned Clock skin is this: OnRefreshAction=[!SetWindowPosition "90%" "970" "100%" "100%"]. This option is executed when you refresh the skin. When executed, the !SetWindowPosition bang places the skin into certain position, set by the given parameters.
There is an extremely simple fix: remove the OnRefreshAction options (or for first at least comment them out, by adding semicolons ; to the beginning of them) of all skins you don't want to get moved when you refresh them. After removing / commenting out the options, when you refresh any of those skins, it stays where it is when refreshing.

This is not a skin, but a package, containing more skins. Which is the one you have the described problems with? And am not entirely sure what you mean by "keeps moving". Is one of those skins moving, just like that? I tried activating all of them, one by one and none is moving for me. So, which is the moving skin?

I'm extremely surprised, because there is nothing which could explain such a behavior for all skins. Just to make sure I didn't misunderstood something: if you refresh / activate the Docket\Clock\clock.ini skin, does it start moving?

hi,
i do not understand it my self. i'm not a Professional or so but it just seems strange.
it doesn't move direcly. it just changed the cordinates after some while. around 10-30 seconds i thing.
when i refresh all the skins, they go to the coresponding cordinates.
the shedual skin usaly moves direcly after refresh.

Alright, finally I realized what are you talking about. If you move the skin away from its default position (the position in which it is placed after refreshing it) and you refresh it once again, you get it moved. Is this what you want to say?
If it is (and I'm absolutely positive now it is), this is caused by the OnRefreshAction options of the [Rainmeter] sections. All skins belonging to this package have this option. For instance the option of the earlier mentioned Clock skin is this: OnRefreshAction=[!SetWindowPosition "90%" "970" "100%" "100%"]. This option is executed when you refresh the skin. When executed, the !SetWindowPosition bang places the skin into certain position, set by the given parameters.
There is an extremely simple fix: remove the OnRefreshAction options (or for first at least comment them out, by adding semicolons ; to the beginning of them) of all skins you don't want to get moved when you refresh them. After removing / commenting out the options, when you refresh any of those skins, it stays where it is when refreshing.
Is this what you want?

hi,
it is, sorry for the miscommunicatie from time to time.
i have removed OnRefreshAction=[!SetWindowPosition "90%" "970" "100%" "100%"]. and it seems to be working.
thank you for taking the time.
