Help: Rainmeter Skins • Re: Need better way to automatically change background Height

Here's the current code I've tried. It's strange because it looks good at font size 24 but anything smaller or larger it drifts.

Code:

[MeterBackground]Meter=ShapeShape=Rectangle (0 * #Scale#),(0 * #Scale#),((#BgWidth# - 0) * #Scale#),((#BgHeight# - 0) * #Scale#),(0 * #Scale#) | Fill Color #BackgroundColor#,(#BgAlpha#) | StrokeWidth 0; UpdateDivider=-1DynamicVariables=1

Code:

[Variables]; BgHeight=((7 + (#TitleFontSize# - 1)) + (#TitleFontSize# / 4))BgHeight=(0 + [MeterComputerName:H])BgWidth=326BackgroundColor=0,0,0BgAlpha=75TitleFontSize=24

Code:

[MeasureComputerName]Measure=SysInfoSysInfoType=COMPUTER_NAMEUpdateDivider=-1

Code:

[MeterComputerName]Meter=StringFontFace=ArialFontSize=#TitleFontSize#StringAlign=CenterCenterFontWeight=700StringCase=UpperFontColor=255,165,79AntiAlias=1Text=%1; X=(#BgWidth# / 2)X=([MeterBackground:W] / 2)Y=([MeterBackground:H] / 2); Y=((#BgHeight# / 2) - (#TitleFontSize# + 0))TransformationMatrix=#Scale#;0;0;#Scale#;#Scale#;#Scale#; UpdateDivider=-1DynamicVariables=1

I don't see a problem. Can you post a screenshot too?

I assume the problem is in your text. You use the Uppercase string case. The thing is that visually it will not have a height to the visible text like USER. Most of the fonts have a zone for so called "descenders", the hanging from bottom symbol elements like in the letters g j p q y.

To see that, just put SolidColor=200,0,0 and you will see that there is a greater empty zone underneath the USER text, which is what might be causing the unproportional centering.
