Sorry to be a pain folks. Gnometer by default allows me to monitor up to four hard drives, which is cool. Thing is I have eight hard drives hooked up - is there a way to make Gnometer show all eight drives?
Also, I've configured it to allow access to my Gmail account and I can certainly click on the icon to open Firefox & access the Gmail page but I thought it would be possible to show the mail headers and I can't seem to make that happen. Any ideas?

Re: Show more drives in Gnometer & Gmail issues
If you open up the ini-file of "4 Disks" you'll see a pettern of how the skin is constructed.
If you follow that pattern and add the needed variables, you should end up with something that you wanted.
Just make sure you don't have some variable-mixup.

I don't think, therefore I'm not.

Re: Show more drives in Gnometer & Gmail issues
Thanks for the advice. I've followed it by opening up the .ini file and copying & pasting it along with the new info for each relevant drive. I've then saved each file with the appropriate name to the skin folder. I've restarted Rainmeter and... it still doesn't work. The only thing I haven't done is to create new "popup" .ini files as I don't intend to use them anyway. Is this what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to have the seperate "popup" .ini file whether I intend to use it or not?
As you can tell I'm completely new to all this so I do appreciate the help.
Gordon.

Well it doesn't work here. I've cheated and just copied your code from above but it still doesn't work.

The changes need to be done in My Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Gnometer (not Program Files)..
Be sure to right-click -> Refresh All so that new skins will appear.

Re: Show more drives in Gnometer & Gmail issues
Hi there
I got it to display my 9 disks, but I can't figure out where it picks up the background bars from as it doesn't seem to do it for more than 4 drives.
I am probably just missing something obvious, but if someone could help I would be grateful
Also, is it possible to get it to display the free space in any format other than percentages or bytes? (ideally gb)
Many thanks

You need to change the H= value below [Popup].PureLoneWolf wrote:I got it to display my 9 disks, but I can't figure out where it picks up the background bars from as it doesn't seem to do it for more than 4 drives.
For 9 items:
H=((#h.Other#*9)+50)
For 10 items:
H=((#h.Other#*10)+55)
For 11 items:
H=((#h.Other#*11)+60)
and so forth
FOR USED SPACE:PureLoneWolf wrote:Also, is it possible to get it to display the free space in any format other than percentages or bytes? (ideally gb)
Change [TextRightStyle] to look like (note, if you are editing the Popup variant, use Hidden=1 instead):
Code: Select all
[TextRightStyle]
AutoScale=1
Text="%1B"
Hidden=0
FOR UNUSED SPACE:
Create a new measure (do this for all disk measures):
Code: Select all
[MeasureDisk1Space]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=#disks.Drive1#
UpdateDivider=120
Code: Select all
[TextRightStyle]
AutoScale=1
Text="%1B"
Hidden=0
Code: Select all
[Disk1Right]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=TextRightStyle
MeasureName=MeasureDisk1
Code: Select all
MeasureName=MeasureDisk1Space
