[Solved] Need help with this simple problem

[tumbleweed1993sf]

I have an RSS feed which tells me the game time/score of all Giants games. Unfortunately, though the string is sometimes too long and it ends up getting cut off like this:



What simple tweak should I make to my code so that it won't get cut off?

Code: Select all

[Feed1]
Meter=STRING
X=100
Y=35
H=32
W=300
StringStyle=Bold
FontColor=0,0,0,230
FontSize=7
FontFace=Tahoma
StringAlign=Center
StringEffect=Border
FontEffectColor=0,0,0,0
Solidcolor=0,0,0,2
Text= [MeasureRSS#NUMBER1#1]
StringAlign=Right
MouseOverAction=!execute [!RainmeterSetVariable Border1 0,0,0,25][!RainmeterRedraw]
MouseLeaveAction=!execute [!RainmeterSetVariable Border1 0,0,0,10][!RainmeterRedraw]
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["[MeasureLink#NUMBER1#1]"]
DynamicVariables=1
ClipString=1
AntiAlias=1

Tweak ur Width ;o)

...or remove the Clipstring=1...

Thanks to both of you! Individually when I changed the width and the ClipString, it still wasn't fixing the problem (I think because the string might have been limited already). But when I increased the x value for the string, increased the width, and removed the ClipString, it fixed the problem. Thanks

IIRC, if you dont have clipstring set, you dont need the W \ H in the STRING Meter. Also, Height can have an FX on the W as well, if the H isnt large enough, the STRING cannot carry over to the next line, not what U wanted here for sure, but something 2 keep in mind mayB ?? ;o)
