[SOLVED] Right Justified Cutoff Text

[ftfylol]

Im attempting to edit the Aria skin to make it right justified. This is my first time doing Rainmeter editing.

I can't seem to get it to stop cutting off the text in my Track field. I read somewhere about using a marquee but I would rather have the Track field use as much space as it needs instead. I added the "DynamicWindowSize=1" option but that didn't fix my problem.

Here's a picture to show what I'm talking about. It should read "Only A Few Things Feat Zoe Johnston"



Here is my config file. There are lines commented out, all things I didn't want from the original

You just need to increase the W= on your string meters to be wide enough to hold the strings.

Thank you for the insanely quick reply. I increased the number from 300 to 800 and there was no change :\

Edit: Tried numbers as high as 5000 and still no change

You will also need to increase the X values of all your meters to match the new width.

Thanks for the now obvious advice. What got me was I also needed to change the X values of the cover art, progress bar, and media controls.

Now it takes even my longest track titles

Do I need to mark this thread as solved or anything like that?

Edit: Marking it as solved anyway
