overlapping text when changing fontsize

[JamX]

suppose I have 2 meter.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[Variables]
FontName=Open Sans Light
FontColor=255,255,255,255
FontHeight=20

[sTextRight]
FontFace=#FontName#
FontSize=#FontHeight#
FontColor=#FontColor#
StringAlign=RIGHT
StringEffect=SHADOW
FontEffectColor=0,0,0,100
Antialias=1

[Label1]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle= sTextRight
Text= World
X=150
Y=150

[Label2]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle= sTextRight
Text= Hello
X=50r
Y=r

The 2nd meter 50 unit to the right of the 1st meter when I reference it with X=50r

When I change FontHeight=12 to FontHeight=20 the 2 meters overwrites each other because the font is larger then before.

Maybe stupid question but, is the a way to make the reference of the 2nd label, which is now "X=50r" variable so it will fit whatever I type into the variable: FontHeight=.. ?

Or is there another way to do this?

Thanks in advance...

Maybe instead of r relative positioning, try R instead.

The lowercase r basically means use the previous meter's top or left edge as a starting point. Uppercase R basically means use the previous meter's bottom or right edge.

So, something like X=5R, which would position the next meter 5 pixels to the right of the first meter - regardless of the size of the first meter.

https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/meters/general-options/#XY

This way, no matter what the value of "FontHeight" is, you can position the meters next to each other without overlap.

OK that worked, thx.

But another question:
I have below code for getting stock price from yahoo finance.
Almost all is working. I see price change etc.
The only thing not working is the [!SetVariable SignStock1 "↑" ][!Updatemeter "LabelUpDownStock1"][!redraw]

I see the variable SignStock1 is changed in " arrow down" which is OK.

Already solved.
After adding dynamicvariables=1 to the [labelupdownstock1] meter it worked.
