Rainmeter, Dexpot and DesktopWorkArea

Post by dapper »

I wonder if anyone can help. I've just started using Dexpot with Rainmeter and the two are working as I would like, with one exception, I can't get the DesktopWorkArea to function correctly, when both are being used with the appropriate plugins.

As of now, I have the VDMConfig.ini and VDM.ini files configured and working and Raindexer is registered. I also have:

DesktopWorkAreaType=1
DesktopWorkArea=0,30,0,100

In my Rainmeter.ini. The DesktopWorkAreaType settings work fine when not used in conjunction with Dexpot. I've tried adding:

DesktopWorkArea@0=0,30,0,100

but that also didn't help.

I'm using:

Rainmeter - 2.3.0 beta r1349 64-bit (Apr 29 2012)
Dexpot - 1.5.99 build 1928

Thanks.

DesktopWorkArea@# actually refers to physical monitors not virtual desktops.

I'm afraid this would be in the hands of the Dexpot devs to implement. I'd suggest making a post to their forum requesting the feature. If it is possible for them to implement a DesktopWorkArea setting on virtual desktops then it will probably be possible to have a different setting for each desktop. Likely they would be set in VDMConfig.ini.
