Auto-reposition on working area change?

Post by Xan »

Hi everyone, first post here.. :D

I'm trying to design a sidebar that would stick to the right side of the screen's working area, no matter what the current working area is (I have another program that docks to the same side). My working area changes dynamically (the other program docks / undocks).

Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Extra bonus points for a way to make the sidebar appropriately reserve working area for itself too.

You can use DesktopWorkArea to reserve space. As far as having Rainmeter set skins to the right side you will likely have to do some tinkering with each skin's WindowX WindowY AnchorX and AnchorY.

Try

WindowX=100%
AnchorX=100%

After re-reading the documentation, am I right to say that there is no possibility now to act upon working area / desktop area change? If it is correct, I'll file an enhancement request to the bug tracker, as it seems to be a worthwhile addition for skins that auto-accommodate to screen's resolution.
