Hello,
I have just finished a theme from scratch for Rainmeter after a week of work. I like the result and now, I would like to share it on Deviantart.
But before sharing my theme, I have a little problem. My skins need to be aligned on the wallpaper to have a cool visual effect and actually, I don't know how to deal with all screen resolutions. My code is perfect for a 1920x1080 resolution but if I put a lower resolution, skins don't have the correct width and heigth and position anymore.
The only way I know to fit with all resolutions is to use ScreenAreaWidth and ScreenAreaHeigth for X and Y position and for the font size. But it's a lot of works...
So, my question is: is there a better and easier way to transform my theme to fit with all screen resolutions?
Thanks a lot for your answer!

Re: Compatibility of a theme with all screen resolutions
There really is no easier way, and even then I think it is "iffy" as desktop wallpapers display differently depending on the OS the user has and if they use
CENTER
TILE
STRETCH
FIT (on Windows 7 and above only)
FILL (on Windows 7 and above only)
In Windows to display wallpapers. To be honest, your best bet is to just ship the wallpaper with the skin, have a !SetWallpaper bang in it to load the wallpaper, and then tell folks to drag the skin to where it looks right.

Re: Compatibility of a theme with all screen resolutions
Okay, thanks for the advice. I already have a !SetWallpaper Bang with Stretch as an option (I opened a post recently about this bang and you helped me).
Thanks for all
