Hi all, I'm very new to Rainmeter, and I would like to know, is there a way to display a skin on both monitors? I want to display a couple of things on both my monitors, so I can access them no matter which monitor I have a window up on. I've tried looking through google, but the most I've been able to find is displaying skins on your secondary monitor only, not on both. If anyone could help, that would be awesome

This is only a theory but if you duplicate the skin you want to use and save it under a different name in your skins folder you should be able to run both and then position them on both monitors if you're trying to run the same skin on both monitors. If they're different skins you should be able to psoition them as you please.

Hm. A possible solution. A little inelegant, but if there are no other solutions, I'll definitely try it

Just go into your Rainmeter Skins folder (...Documents\Rainmeter\Skins) and duplicate the folder of the particular skin.  Restart Rainmeter and you should be able to add duplicates of the same item.  I have a few duplicate items like my clock and system resources which you can see in the attached photos.

So is making the duplicate the only real way to do it?

Bar far the least complicated.  Not that I bothered trying to find a different way.
