Centering notifier text in alignment with cover art...

[Nivek]

Is it be possible to align the center of the notifier text cell with the center of the cover cell. So that no matter how many characters are in the first or second lines of the notifer text, it will remain centered with the cover cell?
For this keeps happening to me... it pushes the text off the screen...

"Control Panel>Notifier text>"

In "Lines position" select "Top" to main position.

Fine adjust the pad top and pad left then.

So I have to adjust pad left every time a song with an extended title plays? Tracks that I have with short titles look perfectly centered.... up to 24 characters it seems...then again a few that have that many characters also are off center

No. Once you select the main position "top" or "bottom" the text will be displayed centered.

Do this:

Test the last build (# 21). You can pick it here:

Then try the last KSoft skin. It has a centered text, like you want (so you can see how to configure CAD properly). Download it here:

The pad top/left is just a fine adjustment.

Maybe it's just the font size that I have...
I tried the skin you suggested and added the fonts that I like and get the same thing, many tracks with a title over 18 characters in length will throw it off center... It seems that it's only with large point fonts (50-150)... but small doesn't look good when the goal is a full screen display. I guess I'll give you the rundown on my settings...
Skin - Just cover
Zoom - %160
order - cover at front
maintain aspect ratio - yes

Text
line 1 - %title%
font= Blade2 size= 100 style= regular
line 2 - %album%%newline%%artist%
font= abaddon size= 28 style regular
pad top -35

letters max= 200

lines position
top
pad left= 0
pad top= 35

Progress bar = slider
width= 240
pad left= 8
pad top= -30

as I said before, it looks great with most songs..

Would you mind to send me the font you're using?

I'd like to make some tests.

Tks!

I'd send it to you but my pop mail isn't set up (as usual) The fonts are called Blade 2 and Abbadon, neither of which have their own symbols such as ()&"|\/?][}{...etc...
It seems that any font that does not have these symbols CAD borrows from the default font(apparently) which is a completely different pixle range. I have played with many of the "fancy" fonts and many of them are like this.
