glad you figured it all out Rico and got it all working..

So what´s needed now is a visibility flag for the drives/partitions the user actually has in his PC. As i have 3 partitions the actual layout is OK. But if someone has only 2 or 1 partition(s) ore even more than that we have to control the visibility according to the number of drives in his PC.
Any ideas?

maybe its late but i didnt really understand this.. in configuration you choose drives you want to monitor and those are visible


btw, i'll put sources up tomorrow too and add everything into mp plugins repository

Hi,

There is probably a simple answer, but I have gaps at the left side of the Progress Bar. I notice that Rico has smaller gaps, but then maybe they are intentional, and catavolt none.

BTW the boxes do have ends on them, just have not shown in the screen print.

This is really great stuff. I can't believe that I've been using MP for so long without this. I guess I know what I'll be doing tonight.

BTW User 04: you may want to go here to get some channel icons--> Australian TV Network Logos

Cheers

User 04, i'm no skinner but i think it has something to do with
<texturebg>
<lefttexture>
<midtexture>
<righttexture>
properties of progress controll.. or maybe images in those tags..

 

[catavolt]

You have to adjust the <posX> property of the progress control.

Nice plugin, but is it possible to show only the value of free disk space when I call a specific disk like #Drives(C).
If I put this in my code, I already know it is C: [SYSTEM]. I only need a value; like 10. Then I know 10GB is free.

 

[SilentException]

in configuration select C drive and format the output to be only:

%freespace%

then use #Drives(C).AvailableSpace.Data to get the freespace value (on two decimals btw)

Thanks for the replies and also the information on the channel icons, mulva, I will definitely look at that.

SilentExcept I have changed your skin coding to the following;

<control>
<description>Progress background</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>1</id>
<posX>26</posX>
<posY>482</posY>
<width>153</width>
<height>17</height>
<texture>progress_background_tvhome.png</texture>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowOpen</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowClose</animation>
</control>
<control>
<description>Progress Bar</description>
<type>progress</type>
<id>20</id>
<posX>15</posX>
<posY>482</posY>
<width>153</width>
<height>17</height>
<label>#Drives(C).AvailableSpace.Percentage</label>
<lefttexture>progress_blank30.png</lefttexture>
<midtexture>progress_mid_white30.png</midtexture>
<righttexture>progress_blank30.png</righttexture>
<visible>yes</visible>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowOpen</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowClose</animation>
</control>

You can insert osd_progress_background.png in lieu of progress_background_tvhome.png, leave out,
<lefttexture>progress_blank30.png</lefttexture>
<midtexture>progress_mid_white30.png</midtexture>
<righttexture>progress_blank30.png</righttexture>

and it will default to existing Media files, saves people creating them.

I know your plug in refers to free space, just wondered if the option is available to show used space, that is the way my brain works, well it sort of works, sometimes .

The formatting has gone all wrong in copying and pasting, but it shows the correct information.

BTW, see the movie on SBS, recording the last 3/4 hour, wish I had got the whole movie.
