Well, to be clear: the skin is not moving, as far as I could tell, since a W (width) of 400 px should be enough to fit the digital clock text even at 70 points font size, but the text itself is. What do you think if I can manage to save the initial font but solve its moving issue by changing, for instance, StringAlign to CenterRight ? would that somehow help ? or maybe it is possible to deal with the text align directly in editor?Īrthur7227 wrote: ↑ April 11th, 2020, 12:36 pm Hello, Yincognito, thanks for your comment, it s true what you said about StringAlign CenterCenter and this is actually same that I found googling. which are actually just the normal process of horizontally centering the text of a proportional font in relation to a fixed anchor at 200px in the skin. I bet that if you change to a monospaced font (like Consolas or Courier New) you won't experience those "positional changes". Now I don't know about the difference in width between 2 and 3, but there is certainly a significant difference in width between 4 and 1 in a proportional font, and that difference obviously increases proportionally with the size of the font being used. This means that for proportional fonts (like most of them are), different numbers in the digital clock text will produce different starting positions for the text. the analog clock image) that's "changing position", it's the text from the digital clock.
One more thing: it's not the "icon" (i.e.
In my view (anyone correct me if I'm mistaken), this is because the meter in Clock_bigsize.ini you took a screenshot of, despite being positioned at hardcoded coordinates ( 200, 75 in the original code), has its StringAlign=CenterCenter. It's not a bug, and neither a badly designed skin. Here is what I ve just managed to capture to show (i also edited the pics to show what exactly changes).Īrthur7227 wrote: ↑ April 10th, 2020, 8:45 pm maybe there is smth simple that I cant catch, but I think this is connected to refreshing well, I tried to find some algorythm of that, i thought maybe when I launch and close programs smth refreshes, maybe this is a badly composed skin, but whatever I do there happens next: if I close any app and go to desktop, it takes about 1 second (which is significally visiable) for the digital clock skin to appear, and when it appers, the position is slightly different. So first question from my point of view, is when those skins are moving? Please be precise: what you exactly do, when the skins are moving? For instance, are they moving when you resume you computer after it is slept / hibernated, or just so, or.?īalala wrote: ↑ April 10th, 2020, 7:31 pm For now, I suppose, I can say, I have some experience with Rainmeter, but I never, but NEVER encountered such behavior with Rainmeter skins, so it is extremely weird for me you did. Well, here are a lot of information which are extremely hard to deal with. (but it also happens with reversed settings anyway). moreover, when I click again on settings, it says that the Skin (digital clock) keeps the same previously entered coordinates!!, so I have to enter new numbers, like changing H from 800 to 820, to move it back to desired position that used to have those 800 !!! "save position" option is enabled, dragging is disabled. not dramatically but significally enough to be noticed, so I constantly have to re-adjust its position by H and W. The position of several installed lightweight skins – like digital clock or weather info – is permanently changing on the screen.
