Floating Text position

[Dm114]

In addition to (x,y) Floating Text position by percentage, would it be possible to have it by pixel for a better precision on the screen (±1% is generally roughly equivalent to ±10 to ±30 pixels, which is a big gap)?

I dont think that there is a way to move it by pixel right now but one thing you can do is overlap multiple smaller "Floating Texts" so that they are in the exact position you want. Obviously this doesent work for every case, but mabye it will help you

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "overlapping smaller Floating Texts" and I can't figure out the relation with the initial request...

Sorry that was kinda a bad explanation. What I mean is to create multiple floating texts and position and size them so that it creates a larger text box (all of the text boxes combined) with more precise positioning using the size of every individual text box. This still might not be a good solution but it's the only one I came up with and will only work if you don't desperately need centered text in the Floating Text

Don't worry: I'm just waiting for @MacroDroidDev to add this option (if it's not a too big deal for him).

 

[Dm114]

In addition to my initial request about Floating Text position (by pixel), would it be possible to add an option similar to "Prevent removal..." to "Prevent moving (fixed position)"?

 

[MacroDroidDev]

I shall try and add support for this soon.

Having got a far way into implementing this, I've decided it's more trouble than it's worth for various reasons. The main reason is the fact that the size of the text is unpredictable and setting exact x,y pixel locations is difficult to make work (and understandable) because you can't just set it to any location from 0 -> width for example.

As an alternative to allow more control I will try and add support to clicking on the %age number value and allowing you to set a more precise value such as 50.5%

I fully understand and all feature requests are not as easy to implement as they seem...
Thanks anyway

Anyway would it be possible to add an option to make position not moveable (fixed)?

I have a slightly different request to floating text. Is it possible to add an option to only move it with a long press as I click it to run a macro and keep moving the floating text in the process.

On similar lines, sometimes when moving the floating text it gets pressed and unintentionally running a macro or hiding. Am I the only one with this problem ?

I don't use floating text with clicks often (at least none that I have to move), however I do have this problem frequently with floating buttons. It's a pain.

Yes! Most of my floating buttons are configured to run the actions only after two consecutive clicks
