Change skin position/layout when display orientation changes

[btr999]

I have a monitor which I occassionally need to rotate the screen orientation to landscape or portrait mode. Whenever the orientation changes I will have to reposition the skin on that screen. Is there any way to automatically reposition all the skins without having to manually do it?

You can save layouts for 2 cases separately.

You can change to layouts with a code.

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=[!LoadLayout "My Saved Layout"]

or commandline

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe" !LoadLayout "My Saved Layout"

You might want to look at RainRez 3.0
It will require some initial setup, but then it should detect the resolution change from portrait to landscape and automatically load another chosen layout.

RainRez is such a great add-on, especially for laptop users! It's possible to do what this add-on does with just Rainmeter code, but this is WAY easier.

I just wish per-resolution auto-switching layouts were a built-in part of Rainmeter itself.

Here, I'll volunteer to do the hard part:

There... now the devs can do the easy bit to implement the new checkbox.

Good idea
However, users should be able to specify this resolution (for unusual screen resolutions)
