Hi!

I am working on creating some lower third name cards for our Online Worship Experience via Xpression. I have attached a mockup of the concept.

We utilized a slab to make the shape, and are trying to have the background scale in width based on the Datalinq text being pulled in. The issue we are running into is that the slab will stretch out, messing up the corners scaling. The goal is to go wider, but not affect any other part of the shape.

Any suggestions?

You are going to want to use a visual logic block as well to compare the 2 lines.  Get the bounding box width of top line and bottom line, and compare them.  That would then go to the example below, where you take the bounding box width and add a value to it. - You do the compare, that way if it ever a short name, like John Doe, then the subline will be considered as well when setting the width of the background.

You can also do a pivot visual logic block in order to help keep the left pixel where it is at.

There are plenty of other forum post that take you through this.  Just search around.
