Could you help me with this?

The skin generates them (I donno what they are really) at a a blistering pace slowing down my PC. What should I do to stop it?

TIA

That it a multitude of autoit scrips running that aren't closing for some reason.

Thanks for a quick response, Enforcer
What should or shouldn't? I do to close those scripts automatically? Kill them manually is the only option for now

Moreovere, it's not only me - some ppl have the same problem too

Well it depends on which autoit script / plugin it is.

It's either a case of it isn't set up correctly or that it has fixed paths in it's code and you haven't installed RR where it is expected you have.

I would

1. find out which script it is.

then

either

2. disable it

or

2. check the appropriate thread for it.

unless it is a script especially for LS's skin in which case check with him.

Ok, maybe I'm just an idiot....considering search isnt helping I'm leaning towards user error. Where can I change the paths of the maps that the weather option is pulling from?

Also, I keep getting a red bar that likes telling me "Goodnight

" It just randomly pops up as I'm moving around in the skin...any ideas? lol

Love the skin

im guessing your talking about the weather images, there is a script that downloads the images. You will need to install autoit to edit the script and recompile it to a .exe to make changes to them.

the file name is WEATHER_LSXVOID.au3 and its found inside the skins folder.
The contents of the script are the code below.

Code:

FileChangeDir(@ScriptDir)
InetGet("http://image.weather.com/images/maps/current/curwx_600x405.jpg", "USCWeather.jpg", 1)
InetGet("http://image.weather.com/web/radar/us_radar_plus_usen.jpg", "USDoppler.jpg", 1)
InetGet("http://image.weather.com/images/maps/current/acttemp_600x405.jpg", "USCTemp.jpg", 1)

you can point the url to any link you wish that has an image. Do not edit the text that is marked red above.

after you make the changes (and ofcourse have autoit installed) right click the .au3 script file and compile. Done.

As for the GOODBYE, you should never ever see that, its disabled by default, and even when its enabled you should only see it when you exit RR. So im not sure why you see it unless you edited the ExecTBL.ini file for the skin and mistakenly enabled it. Send me your ExecTBL.ini file and ill send it back to you with it disabled.

Im betting that its the ratings plugin that is bundled with the skin. The latest version of the ratings plugin fixes the hard coded paths. The script is looking for your RR install to be in C:\Program Files\Road Runner , if you change your install to that path it will fix the multiple instances of the script from running OR you can also update the ratings plugin to the latest version. Its found in the RR plugins subforum.

Note: I cant promise the latest version will work with the 2.x version of the skin but it should be ok.

I PM'd you a link to my ini file, thanks for offering to take a look.

All that talk about scripts is Greek to me.
Ok. I install RR to C:\Program Files\Road Runner
I dont want to install (or change) anything else - I JUST WANT TO DISABLE THE F***ING SCRIPT

So, please bear with me for a sec.
A right-mouse click (if I'm not mistaken) says it's IGCONTROL.exe
1) How can I "find" what script it is? (WTF is "script", btw?)
2) How can I "disable" it?

TIA

Are you using iGuidance?

LLR · 05-16-2007, 10:16 AM

Thanks for the help, Enforcer. I found the answer using search

EDITED
Just tried it and it works like a charm.
Oh! BTW I "disabled" all of 'em

Hi LS, i love your skin so far, but i'm playing around with things trying to make a nice skin to integrate with the Google earth plugin and I would like to have it make use of a drop down menu.

[disclaimer] I'm new to skinning [/disclaimer]

anywho, first off do you mind if i bastardize some of code for my own uses? once this one's out of the way.

I'm planing on using your POPUP.skin as a template for what i want to do. this popup will have a few buttons that go through some of the basic functions of the GE plugin. I don't plan on using the "over-my-head" configurable buttons that you have going in there, all directly coded functions. My first kinda road block is figuring out how to get the popup window to popup on top of the existing GE window (i used a tweaked copy of your RRearthx.skin for this and it looks very pretty). so far I can get it to popup but the RRearthx.skin closes so i'm left with my desktop in the open spaces. my first thought is to create a skin that copies the base RRearthx.skin exactly (w/o buttons) and just put the popup frame on top of it in the image files, but then i'm guessing the application frame will appear on top of that. If that doesn't work, i'm thinking that there must be some way to just overlay one skin window on top of another and ignore all the clicks on the lower screen, but then i'm unsure how execute requests are handled from one skin to the lower (but i think this one is probably a non-issue).

any brain storming on how to do this anyone could lend would be cool.
