Tablet - Screen Orientation

[kimstar00]

Hi all,

wondering if there was a way to get skins on rainmeter to re-position themselves depending on the orientation of my screen?

I currently have everything nicely setup on the bottom of my screen when my tablet is in landscape mode and I want these skins to be on the bottom of the screen when I go into portrait mode.

Is this possible?


Thanks,
Paul

My initial suggestion would be to use Monitor variables both in IfConditions and in positioning Bangs.

Assuming when your device changes orientation, the screen size changes (for example) from 1920 (width) by 1080 (height) to 1080 by 1920. Thus when IfCondition=(#SCREENAREAWIDTH#=1080), then IfTrueAction=[!Move MeterName 0 (#SCREENAREAHEIGHT#-100)].

Not sure if this would work though.

You can manually edit Rainmeter.ini (right-click system tray icon, "Edit settings") to make positions relative to the bottom/right edge of the screen and relative to a particular monitor.

Skin sections

Then use a measure like above to detect an aspect ratio change and execute a !RefreshApp bang.
