I cannot seam to get !RainmeterShowMeter or !RainmeterHideMeter to work. Any ideas? Can "IfAboveValue=" not use MeterName to pull it's information from??

Trouble is, those are not measures, as you have not said they are... So they are completely ignored.

That might work better for you.

HAHA i knew i had to be missing something )

Thanks for the fast reply.

This is strange... "The IfAboveAction=" is not working.. I've isolated it as shown below and both Rl_DriveUsed_Green & Rl_DriveUsed_Red bars remain hidden. I've even moved the value around to try to provoke it to work, but so far nothing has.

I found the problem. My Mse_Drive% is returning a whole number such as 894562 and not the % of that number..

Good. The "About" dialog in the context menu for Rainmeter is the most staggeringly useful "About" dialog in any application I have ever seen.

WOW!! I never even looked at the about menu before. Your right.. The amount of information contained whit in it is amazing. I'm glad you mentioned that.

Hey I have a similar problem! I'm making a weather forecast skin that changes between "today's forecast will be ..." and "tonight's forecast will be ..." when it hits 5AM and 3PM respectively. Thus, one has to be hidden, and the other shown, at all times (e.g. at 1PM it will be "today's forecast," and at 4PM that display will be hidden and replaced with "tonight's forecast"). Needless to say, I'm not working the code quite well enough =P

PART OF CODE: Please shed some light on this matter =]
