I'm using tangent_universe. now, I'm trying to mod the sysinfo lsbox to be a little smaller. there was a little handle-like section on the left of it. I removed that part with PS. but, the meters are still acting like that part is there-they're drawing over too far to the right. anyone have a clue why? WindowX=0 in my rainmeter.ini, so I THOUGHT it should be drawing all the over to the left of the image. here's the rest of rainmeter.ini(except for the measuers and stuff):
Background=rainmeter_bg.png
WindowX=0
WindowY=0
AlwaysOnTop=0
Draggable=0
Update=1000
HideOnMouseOver=0
GatherStatistics=1
SavePosition=0
starthidden=0

oh, btw, the measures themselves I can move fine. it's just the background (rainmeter_bg.png) that won't draw over to the left enough.

haven´t tried the theme yet, but it seems Rainmeter is loaded in a LSBox.

Correct, it is. But for some reason, it's drawing the meters and the background for the meters (not the box background) about 20-30 pixels from the left edge of the box. The only thing I can think is that the 20-30 pixel area is the only specified draggable area for the box-maybe the meter's can't go on top of that???

change rainmeter.ini back to:
WindowX=0
WindowY=0

open sysinfo.box and change this line:
*WharfModule 20 3 72 23 $ModulesDir$rainmeter.dll

Should I be changing it TO something?? my line is exacly the same.

yes. check the lsbox docs.

the first number is the horizontal position of Rainmeter inside the box, the second the vertical position, third is width, fourth is height.
