There is no transform going on, this is normal positioning behavior when using String meters with StringAlign.
The docs mention it in the last paragraph for the option:
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/meters/string/#StringAlign
Here is a quick example:You will see the "real location" of [Second] is really lower than where it was drawn.

The docs mention it in the last paragraph for the option:
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/meters/string/#StringAlign
The defined coordinates are not the same as the drawn coordinates. Basically, it is drawing the meter is a different location than what the skin defined.The only important thing to remember to use StringAlign is that it is always based on the value of X or Y. The String meter with StringAlign is the one case where X or Y doesn't really mean "starts at", but rather means "is anchored at".
Here is a quick example:
Code:
