Right-click the rainmeter icon in your system tray, then select Exit. Then open rainmeter.exe usually located in start menu>programs>rainmeter OR c:/program files/rainmeter/rainmeter.exe

Hmm, I am not sure why it doesn't work for you. When I use DesktopWorkArea=200, 44, 1600, 1200, all my desktop icons move to the right by 200, and move down by 44 - then when I maximize a window, the window starts at 200, 44 and goes to 1600, 1200. However, when the window is not maximized I can still manually move a window into the area of the sidebar.

Not sure why it won't work for you....

Hello,

i had the same problem, fixed it bye changing DesktopWorkArea to DesktopWorkAre@1 (Rightclick on a Skin->Settings->Position->Display monitor->choose monitor and write down number (@1; @2 etc)

But now i have another problem :D
My Desktop Work Area:
DesktopWorkArea@1= 200, 44, 1920, 1080

The problem: my taskbar on the top is cut


Any ideas?
Thanks in advance and sorry if wrong thread, i just did not want to open an extra one :D

Happy New Year
Daniel
