Center aligning an image

[bravo-lemur]

Hi

Is it possible to center align an image around an x,y coordinate? Or can you only set the coordinate of the top-left corner of the image?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it's possible, you just have to use formulas for X and Y:

Code: Select all

X=(#X#-([Image:W]/2))
Y=(#Y#-([Image:H]/2))

#X# and #Y# are the values around which you want to center the image (in this case, simulated using variables), [Image:W] and [Image:H] are the width and the height of the image, assuming your image meter is called [Image]. DynamicVariables=1 must be added to the meter where you set the above.

Ah that's great, thanks!

Do ensure that the values you set for #X# and #Y# are large enough that when 1/2 of the image is moved up and to the left of those values, the image will still fit in the context of the entire skin. Rainmeter cannot expand a skin window up or to the left, and you don't want to truncate the image.
