"Lock Magnet Position" just does not work on multi monitors

Weather Watcher Weather Watcher Help

This is on Windows 8.1.1 x64 Professional, WWL V7.2.30, DisplayFusion V7.0.0.B11. A Nvidia GeForce 750 Titan graphics card with the latest Nvidia drivers run three monitors located as 2-1-3 with monitor 1 being the main monitor. Monitor 2 is positioned as portrait; monitors 1 & 3 are landscape.

I have 3 magnets that I have positioned on monitor 2. These three magnets do not hold position even with “Lock Magnet Position” selected on all 3 magnets. If I uncheck the “Lock Magnet Position”, the magnets wander the same as if checked. I have tried this on all three monitors and the magnets change position on each startup of WWL. Pic “MagnetsPosition1” shows a starting position of the gadgets; pic “MagnetsPosition2” shows the position on a restart of ww.exe.

I also have 8GadgetPack installed so that I can use Windows 7 style gadgets on Windows 8.1.1 via a modified version of Windows Sidebar. On monitors 1 and 3 I have a total of 7 gadgets implemented. These gadgets hold rock solid on their position no matter where I move them to. So it does seem position to lock items in a specific position on multiple monitors on system and/or program startup

This feature does not work properly on a desktop that is not completely rectangular. I’m pretty sure it has always been this way. I’ll have to look into it to see if it can be resolved.

Not too many rectangular flat panel displays on the market nowadays :???:

Interesting. Are they round and square then?

I was referring to the shape of the desktop. Weather Watcher is expecting it to be completely rectangular. Your desktop is not rectangular due to your monitor configuration.
