Hi. first of all, good job, i really like the lcdproc addon. most of the time it works like a a charm.
the reason i write here is because i have a rather unconventional LCD-configuration. i tried to post my problem in the trac, but the ticket was closed due to "third party problem" since this is an addon and not a core-functionality. anyway...
my problem is that LCD.TimeWideNN variables in LCD.xml does not center the chars on character-displays like those hd44780-ones. since the hd44780-compatible ICs can drive up to 80 chars (as far as i know), there are more configurations possible than the wide spread 2x20 or 4x20 ones. I got a 2x40 display, but unfortunately the bignum-chars generated from TimeWide21, TimeWide22, and so on are - when displaying time - ~20 chars wide. on most displays this wont be a problem, but on e.g. 2x40 displays the text is aligned left, which looks really awkward (see attached photo). i use the lcdproc-addon since about a year or longer, and it always behaved like discribed above. please add an option to center bignum-chars.
ah, and yes, $INFO[LCD.AlignCenter] doesnt work, of course this was the first thing i tried...
thanks in advance
