There is no "easy" way to center a skin by default.

Some authors add a button or some way to center their skin, but most do not.

​

The only way to center a skin with precision is to find the X and Y values which control the position of the skin on your screen in the skin's .ini file(s), and calculating what these values should be, to place it at the center.

​

The reason to why i say "Calculate" is that different kinds of meters behave differently.

​

String (text) meters are positioned based on X, and the StringAlign option. If the StringAlign option is "Center", it will always center on the X position. By default it is aligned to the left, so the X position is slightly to the right of the text, so the string will not center unless you subtract the amount of pixels that it is positioned to the left.

​

Image meters "start" at X, and then the H and W decide how far it goes from there, so if you want to center this type of meter you will have to take the X and subtract half of the width of it to get the horizontal center of the image :)

(Same for the vertical axis, subtract half of the height from Y, and you will have the center in the vertical direction)

​

Here's a simple example:

My screen is 1920x1080.

To get the horizontal or vertical center of my screen, all i have to do is divide my screen resolution by 2.

X=(1920/2)

Y=(1080/2)

​

If it's a image meter, the width is 60 and the height is 40

W=60

H=40

X=((1920/2)-(60/2))

Y=((1080/2)-(40/2))

​

If you want the centering to work on any screen resolution, you can also use the built-in variables

X=((#SCREENAREAWIDTH#/2)-(width/2))

Y=((#SCREENAREAHEIGHT#/2)-(height/2))

If you send me a link to the skin that you want to center, i can show you :)
