Help: Rainmeter Skins • Formula help required... again! :)

I have a set of shape meters used as bar meters. Each measures CPU, GPU, RAM, etc, with 7 in total.
I have set them pretty close, I think. But they each consist of 3 shapes:
1. Background, or solid colour for the total size.
2. A lighter coloured bar showing from zero to the relevant value, used as height, given by the particular Measure.
3. A peak bar that adjusts it's height with the current value.

From testing, it seems accurate, but there's a little niggle that's been bugging me for ages that I'd like to resolve.
The peak value disappears off the top when the value reaches 100%. I kind of understand the reason for it, I just don't know how to fix it. I have given it several attempts, but it beats me every time!

Here's a gif showing the CPU being benched with CPU-Z. The white lines indicate the top and bottom of the skin:Here's how it should work:
1. At zero the peak indicator is hidden.
2. At 1% it is shown. But I would like the full height of the 2 pixel peak meter to be shown even at 1%. This seems to be how it works now.
3. At 100%, I would like the peak meter to be displayed with it's position as Y=0, so that the full height of the 2 pixel meter is shown.

The issue is that the peak disappears above the top of the skin. Unless it is somehow hidden?

I have a variable to allow adjustment for differing sized taskbars, called BarH=48 for Win11. With that I have set this formula to gather the measures value and deduce it's height. But I can't figure out how to take away the height to keep it displayed.

Sorry, it's kinda hard to explain. So, the full height is 48 pixels. But the peak meter is 2 pixels high and needs to have a maximum Y position of 48 minus it's height of 2 pixels to be shown constantly even at 1%. But also, needs to be shown when at 100% so as not to go above the Y=0, or top of the skin and thus not be displayed. This means that the calculation of the formula needs to have the BarH variable minus 2. Does that make sense?

In essence, Shape 1 requires height of 48, Shape2 requires height of 48, but Shape3 requires a height of 48-2=46.
The height of the taskbar is 48 pixels, but using Shape meters as bars requires setting it as a minus number, ie, -48.

Here's my code for the shape/bar meters:As usual for me, I use a lot of variables for constants in order to minimise the code. But I think you can ignore those as they are irrelevant in this instance and the real issue is solely with the formulas. I just need to know the correct way of getting the values for the bars and where I have it wrong. Have I overcomplicated things the way I've done it?

Thanks for your help
