Skin placement beyond certain coordinates

Post by JacobT12 »

I've just gotten into playing around with Rainmeter, and I'm picking some of it up pretty quickly, current little project is a quote rotator. I've got it working without any problems, but what happens is I can't move it to the bottom of my screen, won't go beyond Y300. X is no problem, I can drag it across the entire width of my screen, but not beyond Y300. Tried changing it's coordinates in the Manage Rainmeter window, but if I type in say, 400, it changes it straight back to 300.

Am I missing something blatantly obvious? Any help would be much appreciated.

Also, the code, can't hurt to post it.

From the skin context menu, set "Keep on screen" to off. Since you have specifically set the height of the meter to 500, it wants to keep all 500 pixels on the screen, even if you don't have anything in that full space.
