General Discussion • Is it possible to have a skin remember its position on a second monitor even when the monitor gets disabled?

Hi everyone!

This might be a weird edge-case although I wonder is it possible for a skin to not shift to the primary monitor when a secondary one gets disabled?

I use two monitors, both over DisplayPort and a feature of DisplayPort is that a monitor physically gets disconnected when you turn it off. I have that happen quite a lot as I want to conserve power and don't need my second monitor all the time.

Now I made myself a skin config specifically for my second monitor but even if I untick "Keep on Screen", as soon as I turn my second monitor off the whole config wanders to my primary monitor.

Is there a way I can tell the skins to "stay in the void" and remember their position even with the second monitor gone?
Does any of these help?

Alternatively, you can use a corresponding !SetWindowPosition bang in an OnRefreshAction or OnUpdateAction in the [Rainmeter] section of your skin, to set such a position on skin load or repeatedly on every skin update:
