Well, this skin looks really good, and I havent changed anything since posting my most recent .rmskin.

I noticed something my OCD cannot handle, but I can't track down where the anomaly is.

In the first view we see all the drives with nice spacing etc. Then in the sub-folders and all other sub folders, the spacing is less between folder icons.
Yes very picky, but, OCD reasons force me to seek a solution.

Any pointers are appreciated.

What is OCD? And attach your skin or a screen recording to show what is happening.

No, it's not. Just note that the icons of drives are lower (in height) and I suppose this is why it looks like having a different spacing. But it's not, there is no reason for this.

Sorry, but I don't understand this. Don't see its relevance, since we have discussed about the icons.

It's the icons and the fonts both as Balala pointed out. And it's because you use relative positioning. When your icons and font change so does the co-ordinate of the bottom right of each meters. The solution to this is using fixed X and Y co-ordinates for each meter. That wouldn't be so had since you have limited number of meters.

Sorry, but I am not clear where or which each Meter's Y value would be changed. With all of the meterstyles I am getting lost.

Any further explanation/s is/are appreciated.

I changed the R positioning in the IconStyle meters to r positioning and now the icons are consistently appearing in sub-folders, but the text is still showing up a few pixels too high.

Try the following ones in the File Folder\@Resources\FileMeters.inc file:

Code: Select all

[Index1]
...
Y=73
...

...

[Index2]
...
Y=136
...

...

[Index3]
...
Y=199
...

...

[Index4]
...
Y=262
...

...

[Index5]
...
Y=325
...

...

[Index6]
...
Y=388
...

...

[Index7]
...
Y=451
...
I also would remove the Y=80 option of the [Index1Icon] meter from within the same file.

Sorry, but for me that changed nothing.

I am also trying this: IfNotMatchAction=[!SetOptionGroup Popup Text "%1"][!!SetOption InfoStyle Y "14r"]
But ofc it does not work.

Hmmm....
