:confused: No, we can't, because me at least, didn't understand the question. What have you set up for one monitor and want for the other, too? Rainmeter or certain skins? Not clear at all... :confused:
Please give us some details, to can help you. :confused:

I've two HP24es monitors side by side which are configured by the NVIDIA control panel. You just drag your skins from one to the other as if there was only one wide monitor, provided you configured it correctly. OK? :17good

I have just one single monitor, so maybe I'm wrong now, but I think you have to set twice the same skin, to can put one on each monitor.

Make a copy of the skin folder and rename it xxxxx2, then you can have 2 of the same one on each monitor

Just to detail CyberTheWorm's reply, do the followings: if the skin is installed, rename its root config (folder in the Skins folder), eg adding a 2: so if the name of that config is MyConf, rename it to MyConf2. Now install the skin again. Because the existing config was renamed, this time it'll be installed with no problems. After this, you can load both instances of the skin, dragging one to the first and the other to the second monitor.
