Auto-detect monitors?

[Yerginsnurf]

I primarily compute on my laptop, and at my desk I have a second monitor hooked up to my computer. I would like to be able to use rainmeter with that screen as well, but it is too much of a hassle for me to be dragging skins around whenever I switch from one to two monitors and vice versa. I know that you can save layouts, but I was wondering if there was a way for rainmeter to auto-detect how many monitors your computer is using to display, and choose what layout is uses from there. So when I'm using my laptop by itself, it will use the "single monitor" layout. When I have another monitor plugged in, it will automatically change to the "dual monitor" layout. Is this possible, and if so, how would I do it?

Try something like this:

Code: Select all

[Variables]
Dual=0

[DualTest]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(#SCREENAREAWIDTH@2#>0)&&(#Dual#<1)
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables Dual 1][!LoadLayout DualLayout]

[SingleTest]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(#SCREENAREAWIDTH@2#<1)&&(#Dual#>0)
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables Dual 0][!LoadLayout SingleLayout]

I don't know anything about programming Rainmeter but I need this solution as I switch monitors frequently. Any chance you could explain how I use that bit of code? Do insert it into an .ini somewhere?
