[Solved] DesktopWorkArea problems

Post by DJBhindi »

Hey guys,

So I have a setup with the unmodified Enigma Taskbar and Sidebar, and wanted to set workarea so that maxed windows don't over/undercut them.

However, when I edit settings (under [Rainmeter] ) and set desktop work area, the size of the taskbar and sidebar change too.

I tried setting sidebar spacing to 0, but it didn't make a difference, and I don't even know where to start with taskbar.

Please help! if you want, I can provide you the current code.

Thanks so much,

DJBhindi.

(Moved to the Help forum.)

The Sidebar and Taskbar skins are designed to fill your work area. Since you're making the work area smaller, the skins adjust themselves accordingly. The best solution is to edit the Sidebar and Taskbar skins themselves, and set their dimensions - width (W) and height (H) - to absolute values, instead of being relative to #WORKAREAWIDTH# and #WORKAREAHEIGHT#. For example, if your screen width is 1280, and your work area's width is 1080, set the sidebar's width as 200.
