If you have AlwaysOnTop=-2 in Rainmeter you should have the skin sticked to desktop and not fight to be on top of other windows. But taskbar is a special animal. The best way to test if your skin somehow gets to “Normal” is to drag the skin over some explorer window when your skin becomes over the taskbar. If your skin is not covering other explorer windows - the skin and Rainmeter is fine.I recently ordered a new mini/portable monitor that's going to become a dedicated rainmeter/taskbar screen. Thus I started designing a brand new skin That will be full screen 24/7/365. However just a few minutes into the project I've come across an issue that I don't understand.
The skinWhen I load the skin it defaults to position "normal" as expected. When I change the position to "on desktop" it does what I want and expect, it sits under the taskbar and on top of the background.Code:
[Rainmeter]Update=200AccurateText=1BackgroundMode=1[Variables]SkinBackgroundColor=0,0,0,128[SkinBackground]Meter=ImageSolidColor=#SkinBackgroundColor#W=#PSCREENAREAWIDTH#H=#PSCREENAREAHEIGHT#DynamicVariables=1
However, as soon as I minimize an application on my primary display, or unminimize an application to my secondary display, the skin seems to revert to "normal", and cover the taskbar.
What's really odd to me is when I right click the skin and select manage skin it still shows position is set to "on desktop" in the gui. If I check Raimeter.ini it shows AlwaysOnTop=-2 for the skin.
What am I missing, why isn't the position persistent/sticking?
