you have incorrectly set values in spectrum.txt
look how it looks on my skin (spectrum)
origin.x = 170
origin.y = 290
spectrum.x = 10
spectrum.y = 640
bar.width = 40
bar.height = 600
bar.gap = 40
reflection.gap = 0
topping.height = 3
topping.step = 2
steps = 30
can you specify me this setting?
for exemple what is steps=30 or originX/Y???
and if i set bar.height=600 and bgr 1920x1000 why the bar are cutting?

Your spectrum size: 1900x1000 or 1920x1000??
origin.x = 170?
origin.y = 290?
spectrum.x = 10?
spectrum.y = 640?
think about it
besides, you change the values all the time. First it’s 1900x1000 then 1920x1000
spectrum.x/y - position of background
origin.x/y - position of spectrum on the background.
I think so, I’m writing from memory.
IF YOUR:
bar.width = 40
bar.height = 600
bar.gap = 40 ------> 51
IF YOUR:
Spectrum bgr is: 1900x1000
origin.x = 170 -----> 100
origin.y = 290 -----> 940
spectrum.x = 10 -------> 10 It will be centered
spectrum.y = 640 ------> 40 It will be centered or e.g. max 80 - will be moved down
*you can increase the bar height -max 940
*you can increase the bar widht - just remember to change the bar.gap value and origin.x
e.g
if you change the bar size, change the .PNG file size to the same value
otherwise it will be an artificial increase
Gelo Sorry i don’t understand.
If my display resolution is 1920x1080 were I add this pixel?
I enlarge my background or add into the file?
Sorry

Did you even read what I wrote earlier? First try the old pattern.
spectrum.x = 10 (1920 +10=1930)
spectrum.y = 40 (1080 + 40= 1120)
Why are you deleting the message? I am responding to a message that does not exist. If you want to ask something - ask specifically.
nadirfly:
were I add this pixel?
???
I’m stupid, I deleted my post!
I create enlarge PNG file or add into file txt?

If you made a new file - set new values in the spectrum.txt file (meters.txt too)
No… I don’t create anything file…
My question is:
I’ll create a new PNG enlarged or I leave this?

which one is “this”? 1900x1000 or 1920x1080?
now 1920x1080
and this is my deleted post:
ok.
i created the new png 1980x1080px 72dpi named bgr-gianni.png
this is my spectrum

the problem is that blink and when change the director for chose different music, stop running.
I have seen your works; they are very beautiful. I installed peppymeter but no sizes fit my screen. Can you create a few works for me for a 1920x1200 screen?"
If possible please help me with this picture.
1920*1200
Any plans to upgrade plugin to Bookworm? Thanx.

Upgrade is pretty intrusive. Till that time there is PeppyMeterBasic that works flawless on BW.
It will however not add an overlay for Albumart and/or played track.
