Rainmeter is already compatible with Windows 7. Some of our developers even use 7 to write it. :)

Rainmeter is completely compatible with Windows 7 now. I've been using Windows 7 since January.

A lot of issues have been ironed out over the last few months to be compatible with the 32 and 64 bit platforms, by doing this we have completely exempted the need to be OS Build dependent.
I use Rainmeter in teh following instances"
Vista 32
Vista 64
Windows 7 64 RC1
Ubuntu with wine (64 bit environment)

Is there a particular issue you are facing?

ah....Ok then step by step.
Are you using any third party multi-monitor control software?

Also there is teh function to set Right and left, but graphics reset after refresh?

Other things to check on:

- Are you running Rainmeter as a portable installation from Program Files? (UAC can often interfere with writing to files in protected folders.)

- Does the problem persist even after wiping Rainmeter.ini clean and starting with a blank theme?

And why doesnt rainmeter save position, even though I have it enabled. Pretty annoying.
