Hello,
I'm encountering an issue where the displayed information does not refresh automatically, even though I'm using the interval:10 option in several items in my desktopinfo.ini file.
To force an update, I currently have to either:
- Restart the Desktop Info application, or
- Re-save the desktopinfo.ini file.
Interestingly, the data does refresh correctly when I trigger a screen change (for example, connecting or disconnecting a monitor), thanks to the display-change=1 option.
Here’s a simplified version of my configuration:
[options]
# Size and position
bottom=5
right=5
# Font and quality
font-face=arial
font-quality=3
font-size=18
width=405
column1width=405
display-change=1
formcolor=#000000
transparency=50
[items]

END-ONLOAD
Is there something I'm missing in my configuration to make the updates work automatically at the specified interval? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
which bit should be updating?
The BEGIN-ONLOAD is preventing the updates. Page 68.
Indeed, with the following option "BEGIN-ONLOAD=onload:2" it works!
Thanks for the quick response!
