Hello! Let’s tackle your two issues with Rainmeter on Windows 11.
1. Disabling the Shortcut for Hiding the Taskbar
The shortcut [Windows Key] + [^] (which is likely intended tohttps://www.nexlev.io/a Rainmeter skin or functionality) is interfering with the taskbar behavior. Here’s how to disable this specific shortcut:
Open Rainmeter: Right-click the Rainmeter icon in the system tray and select "Manage."
Find the Skin: Look for the skin associated with the shortcut. It should be listed in the "Skins" tab.
Edit the Skin: Open the skin's .ini file in a text editor. Look for any lines that define keyboard shortcuts. If you see a line for [Windows Key] + [^], you can either delete that line or comment it out by placing a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line.
Reload Rainmeter: Save the changes and reload the skin to see if the issue is resolved.
2. Enabling Lateral Window Snapping
Lateral window snapping may not work properly with certain settings in Rainmeter. To enable it:
Disable "DesktopWorkAreaType=1": This setting restricts the usable desktop area. Change it to DesktopWorkAreaType=0 in your rainmeter.ini file. This allows other windows to snap correctly.
Modify Other Settings: Ensure that you haven’t set any other Rainmeter skins or plugins that could be interfering with window management.
Check Windows Settings: Make sure that window snapping is enabled in Windows 11 settings:
Go to Settings > System > Multitasking.
Ensure that "Snap windows" is toggled on.
After making these changes, restart Rainmeter and check if the window snapping works as expected.
Summary
Disable the keyboard shortcut by editing the skin’s .ini file.
Change DesktopWorkAreaType=1 to DesktopWorkAreaType=0 for better window snapping behavior.
