enigma sidebar height not full screen height?

[TonyPham]

I unloaded the taskbar skin so now the sidebar skin doesn't reach the entire height of the screen. does anyone know how i can adjust that?

Load the Options skin (Enigma\Options.ini), then go to the last tab and change the "sidebar spacing" option to 0.

Hello there! Sorry for resurrection! Although what you stated above did work perfectly well for the sidebar being on the same monitor as the Windows Task Bar, I have the sidebar on a secondary monitor, without a task bar; which even after changing the spacing to 0 leaves a rather large gap.

Is there another setting or some sudo-magic to help solve this problem? I've attached an image to help demonstrate what I'm seeing. (see the weather widget a the top)

I just learned to do this looking at your post, so try this.

edit the ini file for the side bar in enigma, the one I edited was Sidebar2.ini

Inside "Manage Rainmeter"

navigate to : Enigma -> Sidebar -> _Sidebar2 -> Sidebar2.ini

and click the [Edit] button

then find the section that looks like:

;---------------------------------------------------------------------
; METERS

[Sidebar2]
Meter=IMAGE
MeterStyle=StyleSidebar2

;---------------------------------------------------------------------

and add a line to look like this:

;---------------------------------------------------------------------
; METERS

[Sidebar2]
Meter=IMAGE
MeterStyle=StyleSidebar2
H=(#SCREENAREAHEIGHT#)

;---------------------------------------------------------------------

Then save the edit, and click the [Refresh] button.

That should solve the issue. Now Google "rainmeter manual" and find the section on "Settings-BuiltInVariables". And that will explain the other possible settings you can use.

God Bless,

I know I am quoting a post that's half a decade old, but this was the answer I needed! Thank you so much!
