I'll have to think about it. Dragging would be relatively easy. Resizing, well, not so much.
I'm in the middle of something else right now, but as I said, I'll think about it.

thank you. Take you time. Dragging is definitely more important than resizing.
OK, I just uploaded v1.3, which allows dragging. I had some existing code for this from another project, and it plugged right in. Always nice when that happens.

So many macros use this now Dan and it is a default quick shortcut to make reference to this. Thank you for making this. I love that in a sense Keyboard Maestro allows for Plug-ins like this for things that it doesn't do natively. I love all the options you built into it. I have broken out the notes in the refrence macro so I can read and remember what to change easier.
Perhaps in a future edition of Keyboard Maestro we'll get bettter notifications but in the meantime this is fantastic, thank you for sharing!

Thanks, and I appreciate that you took the time to say something. I'm not a big glory hound, but knowing you're appreciated is never a bad thing.

A short text (“Hello”) and a small font size (30) cause the copy and close buttons to overlap the text.
You might consider something like spaces and a period. It doesn't look like spaces alone will work. Perhaps there is some other invisiable character that can be added. Of course alternatively if you don't need those just delete true and set a shorter timer.
You can also set it to span.

There's probably a more elegant solution, but I don't know what that is.
Thanks. I was familiar with the solution using spaces and a period. One solution could be to calculate the length of the text for the corresponding font and font size. Is there a simple solution for this?
(Your macro does not contain any actions 
)
Strange, maybe you just need to I've already downloaded or it referenced the actions from dance macro. I downloaded it on two of my computers and it showed the two actions that were in the screenshot for me.
Oh, I must tell you after many years setting type, there is no simple solution for proportional fonts. You'd have to know the font metrics (among other things) and keep a running total.
