Can't justify text in a screen with a hidden background to the right.

[Packmule]

I have an area on screen where I plan to show the player's total money (iu, for interstellar unit), the number appears inside a screen with the background hidden to show the graphic beneath, but the number increases justified to the left and I'd like it justified to the right. Does justifying text in a screen simply not work when there's only one line of text? Also, un-hashing the last bit of code does not solve the problem. Not a super big problem, but it's annoying. Please help?

Code: Select all

screen default_moneyscreen():

    default iu = 100

    zorder 101
    frame:
        background None
        xalign 0.138 ypos 8
        vbox:
            text "{font=fonts/RobotoCondensed-BoldItalic.ttf}{size=25}[iu]{/size}{/font}":
                color "#ebf5e5"
                #text_align 1.0

Is the vbox resizing or are there other items in that vbox to lock its width? Maybe use the area (xpos, ypos, width, height) style on the vbox.
Anyway:

Code: Select all

screen default_moneyscreen():

    default iu = 100

    zorder 101
    frame:
        background None
        xalign 0.138 ypos 8
        vbox:
            text "{size=25}[iu: 5d]{/size}": # format pad
                color "#ebf5e5"
                xalign 1.0 # align the right edge of the text to the right side of the vbox
                xanchor 1.0
            textbutton "+10" action SetScreenVariable(name='iu', value=iu+10)
            textbutton "-10" action SetScreenVariable(name='iu', value=iu-10)
            textbutton "+1000" action SetScreenVariable(name='iu', value=iu+1000)
            textbutton "-1000" action SetScreenVariable(name='iu', value=iu-1000)

Probably best to set a width to the vbox and use xanchor and xalign.
Note: You can use format inside [] ( the : 5d means make the integer 5 characters wide, padded with spaces, :06d would zero pad to 6 digits). Probably more useful for zeros than spaces unless using monospaced fonts

Thanks! While I couldn't right-justify it, your help at least allowed me to mostly center the digits and I think it'll look pretty good.
