help with skin height/width

[awes0meeeeee]

Hi, im kinda new to rainmeter.

How do I edit the height/width of the skin so that it fits the resolution of my desktop?

thank you.

Welcome. :)

Most skins don't have a single width or height that can be changed. Skins are made up of a number of different elements, called "meters", and it's the size and position of these meters that determines the overall size of the skin. For some skins, this is very simple; for others, it would be nearly impossible.

If you post the code of a skin here, someone can take a look at it.

Looks like the s7de skin code. The background of that skin is a png image that you would have to resize. I'm using it right now and I changed the height of the image to fit my screen using Imageviewer software (Faststone). Then you have to edit all the Y= lines for how you want it spaced vertically.

[awes0meeeeee]

So i'll just download faststone to resize it to fit my screen. But how do i edit the Y= lines?
