Anyway, I solved this issue today, by rewriting my config settings using dynamic locations (relative to desktop edges), and writing a small autoit script to detect when the desktop resolution changes and passing a refresh bang to rainmeter.
Below is the source, attached is the compiled version (scan with whatever you want. I think autoit sometimes comes up with false positives, *shrug*, that is while I supply the source). I found a 1s sleep period to be optimal for responsiveness while not destroying cpu cycles, but YMMV.
Hope someone else finds this useful.
Code: Select all
#NoTrayIcon
$state = @DesktopHeight
$cmd = RegRead ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Rainmeter", "") & "\Rainmeter.exe !RainmeterRefresh"
Do
If @DesktopHeight < $state OR @DesktopHeight > $state Then
$state = @DesktopHeight
RunWait ($cmd)
EndIf
Sleep(1000)
Until $state > 9000
