Music player - Centre title

[tnt6200]

I'm making a music player, and everything was going according to plan until I tried to centre the artist and title strings...I made a script to do so but can't seem to make it keep the information centred. I tried TrackChangeAction but that didn't work. I also tried making it run when the progress was = 0 but that didn't work either.

Why not just override the style settings with StringAlign=Center?

I was under the impression that that wouldn't work because the width will vary...I'll try when I get home tonight.

[tnt6200]

Well...it worked. Looking back now, I can't see any reason why it wouldn't. I guess it was just too late at night for me to think straight.

I've been there... and done that too!
