Joint use of Perf plugin + custom characters

[orion]

I have a problem when I use on the same screen the Perf plugin (64 bits version, cf 632usb) and a custom character :

exemple : the " ? " symbol become " | "

if I delete the Perf parameters, both entries

Code: Select all

$CustomChar(1,8,20,8,0,0,0,0,0)$Chr(176)

and

Code: Select all

?

works fine...

I dont know if the use of Perf plugin modify the custom char table...

When I use the default "CPU usage bar" (LCDsmartie/sysinfo tab), degree symbol "?" it works fine ; When I use the default "CPU usage bar" (LCDsmartie/sysinfo tab) whith the cutom char. degree symbol ($CustomChar(1,8,20,8,0,0,0,0,0)$Chr(176)), the bargraph is "corrupted"...

how to resolve that?

When you are using a plugin whith graphs (winamp, perf,big text) the custom characters are modified by the plugin to produce the output. This is normal.
Due the limitation of the custom characters there is no possible way to re-configure the characters in the same screen, which means that if you have configured once the characters will displayed as is in any call in the screen.

You have to use a different screen in order to use custom characters or check the plugin configuration if there is a possible way to limit the custom characters used.
for example the tinybar plugin can be configured to use only one (and a specific one custom character to display the graph)
