Hello there,

I'm trying to use DesktopWorkArea but it doesn't seem to work. Even after restarting Rainmeter.
I'm using Gnometer. Here is my code:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
DesktopWorkArea=0,20,1680,1050 
Author=poiru
AppVersion=1003000
Update=1000
MouseActionCursor=0
MiddleMouseDownAction=!RainmeterDeactivateConfig
BackgroundMode=1

[Metadata]
Name=Horizontal Bar
Config=Gnometer | Bars
Version=1.3.0
Tags=Gnometer
License=Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 3.0

[Variables]
skin.Style=Horizontal
@Include=#ROOTCONFIGPATH#SETTINGS\Variables.inc
@Include2=#ROOTCONFIGPATH#SETTINGS\Style#skin.Style#.inc

[Bar]
Meter=IMAGE
MeterStyle=sBar
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

DesktopWorkArea goes in Rainmeter.ini, not in a skin. Right-click the Rainmeter tray icon and choose "Edit Settings". When the file pops up, close Rainmeter, add DesktopWorkArea to that file, save it and then start up Rainmeter. It should work.

Note: Anything that changes the work area, such as resolution changes or resizing the taskbar, will set the work area back to its default. You need restart Rainmeter in order to regain your settings.
