Time Text keeps getting cut off in double digits

[ChaosBlades]

Can't figure out why it gets cut off when it goes in to 10:00 - 12:00.

The skin just isn't wide enough. You have X=500 on the string meter, but the text is longer than 500 pixels, so the left edge passes behind X=0 and disappears. Try X=550 or so.

[Mordasius]

The basic problem is that you have StringAlign=Right and X=500 in [MeterTime]. This is telling Rainmeter to Right-Justify the text at a position 500 pixels from the left hand side of the window. As soon as the text gets to be wider than 500 pixels it gets cut-off. So all you need to do is replace X=500 with something like X=600 in [MeterTime] and [MeterDate] and X=400 with X=500 in [MeterMonth], and X=395 with X=495 in [MeterDay].

While you're at it, you should also check that the month substitue string is all on one line:

you also have W=1000 under [Rainmeter], which is not needed and could be causing your problem.

W= under the Rainmeter section won't affect anything.

Thanks for the help. That fix worked for the first image but it didn't for the second. I don't see how I am suppose to edit it. I add 100 pixels to the time and then it is just 100 pixels from the edge of the screen when it snaps to edge. Sorry I am a horrible coder. Failed HTML and C+ in school ^_^.

That can probably be fixed by adding DynamicWindowSize=1 in the [Rainmeter] section. (This allows the skin window to expand if a meter is resized or moved beyond its original size.)

[ChaosBlades]

Thanks a lot that seemed to of fixed it. I think I have finally fixed all the bug and made all the tweaks I wanted to my Rainmeter skin.
