How to display XP Percentage next to Bar

Ok I have a dilemma here.
With my Current Mods, I have alloted enough space before the Decimal Point for the player to go over 100% into Level. The problem I'm trying to solve here is that if you are 0 to 9% into Level, you see the following next to my bars in my UI Mods:
0%.12%

The author of Tablets II Beta 2 is using the Pack Location and Pack Size to show the XP as:
0.1%

Where I found issues with the Tablets II Beta 2 was if the XP goes above 100% such as Getting all the way through Level 6 and needing Citizenship at Level 7 the 121% into Level gets cut off.

Here's my dilemma do I make my UI work the same way the Tablets II Beta 2 XP Bar works in relation to the percentage, using the Pack Location and Pack Size? Or do I leave it as is.

My thoughts on this is, to make my UI's conform to the way the Tablets II Beta is, and here's why I am thinking this. I alloted enough space for 3 digits in the percentage before the Decimal Point. The only time you will possibly see 3 digits in the XP Percentage is 1) Being Completely into Level 6 and not having Citizenship yet, 2) Being Completely into Level 9, and have not completed you Class Quest to become Level 10, 3) Being Completely into Level 19 and not completed your Sub-Class to get Level 20.

So technically in the game there are really only 3 times you will ever possibly see 3 digits in the XP Percentage, but it is quite possible that you will see 0 to 9% into Level at Every Level.

Three times to see 3 Digits compared to Every Level the possibility of seeing 0 - 9% and seeing the Percentage, I think I will try and conform to the way the Tablets II Beta works.

What is everyone else's thoughts on this. Am I heading in the right direction?

Thanks....

In beta 3 I came up with a new way to do it.. Then I read your bug report.. With the new way it was easy to fix.. I didn't get to test it yet ingame.. It does work in UIBuilder though...

Check it out and let me know:

*This Attachment will only work with TabletsII Beta2 or beta3*

That fixed that issue with over 100% Ok on my UI I guess I go back to the drawing board.

Just set the yellow% to TextAlignment="right". (Looks like you already got it.)

DownLoad my Player window when its ready to see how its done.

it will ready our 199.9%
how it was done was to make the . as big as a # then have it ontop of the 2% values and make the 199% as a right alinment hidding the % behind the . and the Blue second part 9% right alinment as well it acualy reads out both numbers like 19% but it hides the first number behind the . as well
