Time Text keeps getting cut off in double digits

[Valthiel]

Hi,

I am quite new to this and I have a very similar problem with my weather skin.

I already added the "DynamicWindowSize=1" under the "[rainmeter]", but it does not seem to do anything.

I changed the x-values for the texts from 94 to 100, but it just shifted the text to the right and now its overlapping with the wather logo. I understand that it is supposed to just shift the text, but that does not solve my Problem, as some texts are still too big and will still get cut off at the left side.

Is there something else I can try?

Thanks in advance!

This is my .ini file:

Edit: I attached a picture of it with the x-values set back to 94

You'll have to modify all the x values, not only the text. Basically, you need to shift the whole content of the skin to the right, so that there is enough space on the left.

[Valthiel]

Oh, right, that did it

I wasn't too sure how much space there is left on the right side, so I wanted to make more space on the left side. But now I shifted everything 100 pixels to the right and it worked out.

Thanks very much!

For future reference, there is no limit to the size of a skin (other than the size of your screen). The issue here is that the top-left corner is considered the "origin," or starting point. This means that skins can expand downward or rightward, but not upward or leftward. Increasing the X/Y values is almost always the solution to this kind of problem.
