String Effect=#style# is not valid in meter issue

[thunderfox]

I tried to install this skin: http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/81304
and tried to load the skins in the Rainbrowser but when i get to the clock and date skins I get a series of 'errors'
that says :
String Effect=#style# is not valid in meter [metermonth]

and the last one that basically tells me that the skins doesn't contain any meters and asks me if i want to desactivate the skin,
I can't get this skin to work I tried reinstalling Rainmeter but it didn't help, I also searched in the forum and did find anything related to this problem.

any help please

Hi thunderfox,

I'm the author of those clock and date skins that zngga included in his pack. (See here and here) Unfortunately, it looks like they might have left out or moved a certain file when they re-uploaded the skins, called "Variables.inc." When you are getting those error messages, it is because the skin is trying to read the variable #style# from the Variables.inc file, but can't, which breaks all the meters with that variable in them.

Try downloading the full and latest version from here: http://col-darby.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d328t7d
And use the clock, date, and chronophage skins from there instead of from zngga's pack. They should work; if not, let me know and I'll try to figure out what else is going on.

Hope that helps!
