Centering Text On An Image

from WinCustomize Forums
I'm trying to have a performance meter display text on a background
image. I've only been able to right or left justify it. I can't seem
to figure out how to set the mimimum size of a text object to be the
same size as the background. If anyone has any tips I'd appreciate
it.

Ah sorry, its DesktopX. I've got an image to use as a background thats bigger than my text (which varies in size). I want the text output from the meter to be centered on the image but I can't figure out how to do it.

Maybe I'm doing this wrong. I've created an object as my background layer, then I've created another object with my IP address on it that gets its information from the "System Information Text Display" plugin. After doing that I grouped the objects using the "Optimized" option. When I go to the "summary" tab for my IP Address meter the size variables are locked (I can't change them to be the same size as my background layer). So when my IP address changes from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX to 127.0.0.1, its takes up much less space and is no longer centered. Am I doing the grouping wrong?
