Help: Rainmeter Skins • Re: Skin menu Toggle based on variable conditions

Thanks for the scanlines example, will take a look later on tonight.

As RicardoTM said above, there is no need to low the Update value so much, instead you should have to update the meters which have to be updated and redraw the skin. But unlike RicardoTM, I'd not update the whole skin (by a [!Update] bang), because it is not needed, but would update only the appropriet meters.
Even if in meantime a larger discussion took place and maybe you are not interested anymore on this, here is what should you do, if you want to give it a try:
  • Replace the Update value into the [Rainmeter] section of the zTerminalStyle\@Resources\Rainmeter.inc file, by the default Update=1000.
  • Add the [!UpdateMeter "#CURRENTSECTION#"][!Redraw] bangs to the end of the MouseOverAction and MouseLEaveAction options of the [ParentStyle] section of the zTerminalStyle\@Resources\Styles.inc file.
  • Add the same bangs as above ([!UpdateMeter "#CURRENTSECTION#"][!Redraw]) to the end of each MouseOverAction and MouseLeaveAction options of the [ChildMenu1] - [ChildMenu5] meters, in all three files containing the menus (zTerminalStyle\Games\Games.ini, zTerminalStyle\Programs\Programs.ini and zTerminalStyle\Security\Security.ini).
That is what I have implemented. Workes nicely. I did however notice a small lag, when opening / closing menus. I am up to 5 parent menus with 5 to 6 children menus. When clicking on parent menus to open / close chil;dren there is some lag, and sometimes when I click one parent menu to open it opens before the previous once closes so I have overlap on longer children entries but only for a second or so. Did some searches and some places mentioned PC resources as a cause but I do not believe that to be the case, any ideas?
