[D2D][Fixed] Extension of Meter=Line beyond specified width

[Mordasius]

I'm getting the line produced by a Line meter extending beyond the expected width. The extra bit depends on the value and is being displayed at the right-hand end of the line graph. The line graph is not expected to go into the blue border in the following images.

The following skin illustrates the issue:

Strange. It's certainly only in 4.3, not 4.2, and somehow seems to be related to using that Shape meter with a large StrokeWidth as the background. I don't get it when I use a W / H Image meter with a SolidColor as the background instead.

We will dig into it. Thanks for reporting.

Odd because I get the same effect with an Image background.

Code: Select all

[MtPanelBack]
; Meter=Shape
; Shape=Rectangle 10, 10, 50, 200 , 5| StrokeWidth 15 | Stroke Color 0A2A4D | Fill Color 000000
Meter=Image
SolidColor=0A2A4D
W=120
H=190
X=0
Y=0
AntiAlias=1

It only seems to happen when the displayed values are small in proportion to the overall meter height.

[jsmorley]

Yeah, it's not about the Shape meter...

Should be fixed as of the next beta release. Thanks for reporting.

The problem turned out to be related to the small offset we added from a previous fix. Basically we were adding a half-pixel instead of subtracting a half-pixel in some cases. Discussion here: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?p=151320#p151320

Hopefully no more issues with the Line meter.

Thanks Brian. I can certainly live with the glitch until the next Beta version.

Thanks Brian. I can certainly live with the glitch until the next Beta version.

Done...

Ohh look Mum, no more spikey bits. Yes son that's what happens when you move on from Punk to New Wave and start subtracting rather than adding a half-pixel.
