Please advise.

I am customizing a skin that I like to suit my needs. I am having a problem when trying to display the free RAM and the Used Ram. I am using the following code:

Code: Select all

======================================

The Meter CPU and the Measure Mem Total works fine. The last two sections is what giving me trouble. They will display the %2B or %3B on the desktop instead of the actual value. Can anyone offer any advise on what I am doing wrong. For my setup, I want to display the Total RAM, Used Ram, and Free Ram seperatly.

Thanks in advance.

Text=Free: %3B

Text=Free: %1B

For EACH meter, %1 displays the value of MeasureName=xxx on the meter, and %2 displays the value of MeasureName2=yyyy on the meter.

So each of your meters should use %1, not one with %1 one with %2 etc...

Thanks for the quick reply. That did the trick. I will have to remember that in the future.

Is there any reason why this code should not work?

Meter=IMAGE
X=300
Y=40
w=75
h=75
ImageName=Music.png
AntiAlias=1
LeftMouseDownAction=!execute ["F:\iTunes\iTunes.exe"]

Do you have a unique section name on top of it?

Yes I do. Did not realize i did not include it.

Assuming that there is not another [3] section anywhere in the skin, that Music.png is in the same folder with the .ini and is really a valid .png file, and that iTunes.exe is in F:\iTunes and is not corrupted or something, then that should work fine.

Everything is where it is supposed to be. It will launch WMP just fine, but it won't run iTunes for some reason.

This was the orginal line of code:

LeftMouseDownAction=!execute ["%ProgramFiles%\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" /prefetch:1"]

No reason I can see from that snippet of code. Maybe you better post the entire skin .ini file.

Here you go. Everything else works fine.
