Skin stuck on my unplugged second monitor

Post by DannyBiker »

Hello,

I installed two monitors for a while but had to give up that setup for various reasons. The problem is that my enigma Uptime skin is stuck on the now gone second monitor. I tried to deactivate and reactivate the skin but it's still nowhere to be seen on my screen. I tried playing around with the Display Monitor settings but still, no Uptime skin. Most probably, Rainmeter thinks that the second monitor is still there and doesn't want to change that setting that easily !

What should I do ? :)

Thank you !

Right click on any rainmeter skin or the tray icon and select "Edit settings". Then close rainmeter itself.

In the settings file file the section named something like [Enigma\Taskbar\System-Uptime]. In that section should be two entries, X= and Y=, change these both to 0, ie, X=0, Y=0, save and close the file and restart rainmeter.

The uptime skin should now be in the top left corner of your screen.

Worked fine. I had a "@1" entry attached to the position value, I guess its a reference to the monitor. I kept it anyway and the Uptime skin appeared where you said it would... 8-)
