Try adding DynamicWindowSize=1 to the [Rainmeter] section of your skin.

Try adding DynamicWindowSize=1 to the [Rainmeter] section of your skin.

If this doesn't help, check the [Rainmeter] section of your skin. If there is a SkinWidth option try to increase its value.
If nor this doesn't help, please post your code, using Code tags (available through the </> button).

It helped a bit but not solved the question. Here it is my code. Sorry for mistakes

Add SkinWidth=390 to your Rainmeter section. The string for temperature is aligned 'center' but the X value for that section puts the string outside of the meter's normal size.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
SkinWidth=390

Or Add W=80 to your [CpuTempString] section.

Code: Select all

[CpuTempString]
Meter=String
MeasureName=HWiNFOCPU0Temp
X=350
Y=32
W=80
StringAlign=Center
FontColor=255, 255, 255, 220
StringStyle=Normal
Fontsize=18
Fontface=Cooper std
AntiAlias=1
StringEffect=SHADOW
FontEffectColor=0,0,0,100
Text="%1°"

Either option will work...

Add SkinWidth=390 to your Rainmeter section. The string for temperature is aligned 'center' but the X value for that section puts the string outside of the meter's normal size.

You beat me this time. Again!
Another solution would be to define a width for the [CpuTempString] meter. For example add a W=64 option to this meter (if using this, the SkinWidth option is not needed, however can be used).

EDIT: Sorry eclectic-tech, I think you've edited your reply exactly before I posted mine...

And vertically?

And vertically?

Try to increase a bit the value of the Y option of both Roundline meters ([MeterBarCpuTemp_Background] and [MeterBarCpuTemp_MainMeasure]).
But there is one more: instead of positioning absolutely both meters, I'd position the second one ([MeterBarCpuTemp_MainMeasure]) relatively to the previous meter. For this replace its X and Y options with X=0r and Y=0r:

Code: Select all

[MeterBarCpuTemp_MainMeasure]
...
X=0r
Y=0r

In this case you have to increase only the Y value of the first meter ([MeterBarCpuTemp_Background]), the second one being positioned in the same place.

I just finished my first skin. Now i have to improve the writing of some code, especially that one that controls text alignment.
many thanks to all people who helped me!

PS: any idea on how retrieve s.m.a.r.t. data for removable hard drives?
