Doesn't !SetWindowPosition bang help in this case?I've come across many multi-monitor setups and various utilities, but I have a unique requirement...
I have three monitors, each with a resolution of 3840x2160. However, I only utilize the two screens on the right. The third monitor I switch back and forth between my desktop and laptop. I don't need or want any skins on the third monitor. Therefore, if I could define a 7680x2160 area anchored on the upper right, it shouldn't pose an issue when I switch my monitor, eliminating the need for multiple configurations, etc.
Is it possible to achieve something like this?
I've been experimenting with the Sylistic skin. I attempted to move the weather widget to screen 2, but I couldn't get it to budge. I selected Virtual Screen, but nothing happened. I also tried selecting "Generic PnP Monitor 2," but it remained in place. Any suggestions?

You can set it to run in the OnRefreshAction from the [Rainmeter] section of your skin:

It has anchor configuration, relativity to the right or bottom edge of a screen, as well as screen selection. You could also take a look at !AutoSelectScreen, in case it's useful to your case:

The above is just one way of dealing with this, you could probably do it via the context menu or by editing the Rainmeter.ini file. Personally, although I do have an old CRT monitor and I could disassemble my old laptop to use its screen as a monitor if I buy a video controller board, I can only use my old smartphone as the 2nd screen for now, so I can't really test a 3 monitor setup. The only potential issue I can see for the above would be if the screens are consistently swapped on your system, as this could confuse Rainmeter's own listing of such screens...
