Let's discuss / document "multiple monitors" and Rainmeter

These are some shortcut keys new to Windows 7 that may help some as well.

{WIN} + {SPACEBAR} Reveals the desktop until released. (Aero Peek).
{WIN} + {ARROW} Places active window in different positions. e.g., LEFT arrow snaps to left, RIGHT arrow snaps to right, UP arrow maximizes the window and DOWN arrow minimizes the window.
SHIFT + {WIN} + {ARROW} If you have more than one display, you can use this shortcut to move the window between different displays.
{WIN} + P This shortcut is helpful when you have a projector or multiple displays attached to your Windows 7 system. It displays different options for multiple displays.
{WIN} + {PLUS} Zoom in the screen at any time.
{WIN} + {MINUS} Zoom out of the Zoom in option - back to normal display.

jsmorley, I was just wondering if your issue of not being able to span monitors might be due to "Snap to Edges"...

I had "Stay on Screen" checked. That was the issue. Works now.

How do I set what monitor Rainmeter defaults to? I want to use the Enigma skin but I want it to load up with the settings of screen 2. Both monitors have different resolutions so I can't just add @2 in the WinX and WinY settings and to manually configure the skin will take a while. I'm just wondering if there's a way I can tell it to load the skin on @2 that way when the theme loads it loads to the properties of the screen...

if that makes sense?

Make a copy of the .thm put it in another folder, Enigma_Mon2 for example. Open it in your text editor, add the @2 to all appropriate dimensions. Then load RainThemes and apply Enigma_Mon2, in theory anyways...

Let us know if it works.
