Windows Snapping & RainMeter
Hi, I have a ultrawide monitor and use multiple windows (2-3) at a time from left to right. RainMeter is on the far right of my monitor. When I'm positioning windows with Windows Key + Right/Left arrow, it always covers up RainMeter. I know I'm able to bring RainMeter to the front, but is there a way to let either Windows know not to use the space that Rainmeter is using so that all of my open windows never overlap with Rainmeter (eg. are flush with rainmeter and don't cover Rainmeter). Thanks. Using Windows 10.

Re: Windows Snapping & RainMeter
You could use DesktopWorkArea.
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/settings/rainmeter-section/#DesktopWorkArea
When Rainmeter starts, it will read this setting from Rainmeter.ini (the settings file), and ask Windows to adjust the desktop work area. When Rainmeter quits, it will ask Windows to reset the desktop work area to what it was when Rainmeter was started.
Note: Other applications can change the work area at any time (including Windows itself). Rainmeter will not readjust to any new work area changes while running.
