    About to hookup an external monitor to my laptop soon and im wondering how well rainmeter will jump to the other screen. Will it fit correctly? or will I have to drag it into its original place? the monitors resolution is 1920x1080, which is 1 setting lower then my laptops.

    It is pretty annoying when switching back and forth, but I found a quick trick.

    Create 2 themes in rainmeter (1 for when you use just the laptop screen, and 1 for when you use the external) and save them. This way, you can easilly right-click on rainmeter and choose what theme to load. It's much easier to do this instead of having to drag everything back into place.

    I was looking for something to automatically load each theme depending on what I was doing, but could not find anything.
