Time not lining up properly, need help!!! (L!MIT Skin)

Post by Waterlemonn »

So on the attachment i provided below, I'm trying to get my time to line up with my date, but it says that that is the furthest is can go left, X-coordinate is set to 0 despite it not even being the corner of my screen? any reason on why it's locking on to a smaller resolution? It's also the lowest it can go so according to that, that's the 'bottom-left' corner of my screen.

My displays and such are set at 1920x1080, i've refreshed, i've tried to edit in negative coordinates. Nothing works

Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks

No idea what skin you are talking about, so I can't really help.

If I understand correctly, it has to do with the different sizes of font you are using. The surrounding space (from the top the actual text and from the right to the actual text) on a FontSize=100 will be greater than that of a font with FontSize=20. If the date and the time are different skins, right click on the time skin and select Settings> Keep on screen uncheck that, and then drag the time skin until it's aligned properly. Right clicking on the skin and clicking edit, then changing the X-coordinate of the meter to negative, for example X=-25, should work too. But as jsmorley said above:

Try the code below and see what I mean, even thought the X and Y are set to 0 the spacings are different.

Code: Select all

[Meter1]
Meter=String
Text=20
FontSize=20
X=0
Y=0
AntiAlias=1
FontColor=255,255,255,255

[Meter2]
Meter=String
Text=20
FontSize=100
X=0
Y=0
AntiAlias=1
FontColor=255,255,255,255

Really sorry about that i posted this post twice by accident and forgot to mention it in this one.

I'm using the L!MIT Skin to display the time and date.

Thank you so much!! Unchecking "Keep on screen" did it for me. Apologies for not making it clear on what skin i was using in my OP, it was my first time posting here

No worries! I'm glad you found the solution.
