Hallo.

So, I finally decided to play about with Rainmeter. I've been throwing little things together from various skins and found a recycle bin button which I wanted to use however, I just wanted to change it's looks to match my theme. Most of it changed easilly, the background needs fixing but it's fine until I get this damn text working.

I want the text to look like the CPU one, the font is fine it's just the shadow I can't get to work. I've looked through the confiq next to the CPU one and can't find the reason why the shadow won't work.

I was wondering if a new set of eyes or, somebody who'd more experience with Rainmeter could help. Thank-you for looking ^^;

; Even though the text is set to Recycle Bin, Rainmeter will display

RightMouseUpAction=!Execute [!PluginBang "measureBinItems EmptyBin"]
ToolTipText="Left-click to open Recycle Bin#CRLF#Right-click to empty"
; Hovering over this meter will display a tooltip with the text above.
; The #CRLF# variable creates a new line.

[meterBinSize]
Meter=STRING

X=160
Y=0r
; r stands for relative. In this case, the Y postition of meterValueCPU is 0 pixels

W=190
H=14
Text="%1B"
AutoScale=1
; Because measureBinSize returns the size in bytes, we must use AutoScale=1 to
; automatically scale the value into a more readable figure.
