If you're talking about RicardoTM's Gauges, maybe asking there would be more productive. Generally speaking, the main bits about a multi monitor setup are described here:Hi guys,
i am using Gauges for different Hardware Infos of HWInfo. I am currently running 3 Screens. My two 4k displays, and one smaller inside my case for these Hardware Infos. However sometimes when some app or game makes a different resolution than what is native, the Gauges that are displayed with Rainmeter on the little display in my PC Case, are thrown out onto the other 2 displays. And in the list of Displays in the Rainmeter Skin settings, they dont really specify which is which display.
Is there any way to make sure they stay in a specific display, no matter what ?
Thanks in advance.
- https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/variables/built-in-variables/#MonitorVariables (can be used in the code of the skins)
- https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/settings/skin-sections/#WindowXY (can be used in the Rainmeter.ini file, equivalent to the skin settings)
So, by default, skins actually do stay on a specific monitor, the "primary" one, where Rainmeter has been started.
While you can use the @N suffix in the skin position options to directly specify another monitor, it's also possible that sometimes when changing resolutions (or turning on or off your monitors) the order of those monitors is changed / shuffled too, because of how Windows works. If the latter is true, then whatever @N you use in the former will also be shuffled accordingly. In theory, if the layout of your monitors doesn't change, you might be able to use virtual screen coordinates to restrict the position of a skin to certain coordinates on the aggregate of all your monitors, but then again, if some monitor is for some reason not available at the time of positioning, then such a skin will be either invisible or moved to another monitor, depending on the value of your Keep On Screen setting for that skin.
Personally, I don't have a multi monitor setup, so unfortunately I'm not able to test all these cases or be 100% sure of the above, but some users do and they might be able to provide more info in that regard.
