While designing a Rainmeter skin I noticed that none of the Calc measures were working, so I created a simple test skin that looks like the following.

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
AccurateText=1

[Metadata]
Name=
Author=
Information=
Version=
License=Creative Commons Attribution - Non - Commercial - Share Alike 3.0

[Variables]
TestVar=4

[TestCalc]
Measure=Calc
Formula=#TestVar# * 2
; Also tried not using variables.

[MeterString]
Meter=String
Text=Number: [TestCalc]
AntiAlias=1
FontFace=Segoe UI
FontColor=255, 255, 255
FontSize=20

The text from [MeterString] is ALWAYS Number: 0 no matter what.

What am I doing wrong?

Add DynamicVariables=1 to [MeterString]

Try replacing the current Text with these two lines. 

MeasureName=TestCalc
Text=Number: %1

For one reason or another, section variables ([TestCalc]) can't be combined with another string. %1 is replaced with MeasureName in Strings

  • Omg I forgot I ever asked this question. I think I stopped working on this. When I have the opportunity I'll test it out. Thanks for responding regardless! – Jacob Birkett Sep 14 '17 at 02:35
