Position currently exists of 3 options. You can use margins to adjust the walpaper to not render behind you taskbar. For anything more complex you have the positioning options.

First off, try to understand the limitations I have within the wallpaper as everyone has a different resolution or aspect ratio. I can't set a default width or height or change the settings from within the wallpaper itself, so I have to setup some configuration that will work for everyone. This is kind of a challenge to get something that will work for everyone and as consistent as possible as every method seems to have its own drawbacks. That is how this chapter became so complex :)


Use these only to avoid rendering behind your taskbar. You can set these settings to your taskbar width or height. If you want to use more complex positioning leave these to 0.

If we want something more complex, we have 2 options.
I do however think that the new position method allows to copy settings better despite of screensize as most settings will include a background image.

This is the original method, but has some draw backs when it comes to copying settings to a different machine and also becomes very inaccurate on 3x 4k screens.

Edge Offset positioning is done with an offset ( basically in the direction of the center of the screen if you raise both x and y for a corner ).


You could see it as raising them is bringing them closer to the opposite side of the screen.
For the left sides ones raising the X value would moves it to the right.
For any right sided one raising the X value would moves it to the left.
For the top sides ones raising the Y value would moves it to the bottom .
For any bottom sided one raising the Y value would moves it to the top .
Maxing them out would reverse all corners.


Hope this image explains things a bit more visual.

If you create a concave shape with the 4 positions, then the VU meter will most likely not render as it can't map to that shape. Convex shapes are allowed. Concave shapes are (simply put) a shape with a "dent". So like how a 5 pointed star is a pentagon with 5 "dents". To illustrate concave/convex shapes see this picture: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=818370608

Please note that margin is just meant to offset for the windows taskbar, and is best to keep it set to 0 when playing with positions as margins will be included in the area defined by the positions.

I believe that at the moment this is probably the best option as positioning when using background can easily be copied to different computers with different resolutions or aspect ratios this way. The center of the wallpaper and the background are always in the same place no matter the setup.

When Screen Center positioning is used, it pretty much is "pixel" based and relative to the center of the screen in stead of the top left. I quoted pixels as this mode can have 2 different scales:

• When you do not use a background image, it is literally 1 pixel on your screen
  
• When using a background image, the pixel scale is adjusted to match the pixel in the image. This way when positioning on a background image, the settings will copy better to a different system.

To help with positioning in this mode I have added overlays that display the coordinates for the screen corners so you have an indication of the coordinates, which also indicates if its scaled to the background image or not, as well as an indicator for the wallpaper center.
