Group allows you to put a bunch of gadgets together and just have to click on a little button to switch between different gauges. From out-chart help, the group parameter: "Allows you to create the chart window as a separate process and assigns an ID that allows multiple charts to share the same window." I might ask PowerGadgets about adding group support to out-gauge. Marco |

Otherwise i had to follow the powergadget > default color which is not bold enough to view. parameters: .... -Size [<System.String>] Sets the gauge's size in pixels. Required? false Position? named Default value Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false .... Also the .chm help file mentions there's a "-appearance_color" parameter that takes values like "blue", "green", etc. What exactly are you looking for? |
