First let me start off by saying that I already know Rainmeter is portable. The reason I am requesting a launcher is that Rainmeter is not suited for multiple screen sizes. I was hoping that somebody could make a launcher that could for example rename Rainmeter1280x1024.ini to Rainmeter.ini. This way the user could set up multiple ini's for multiple screen sizes, the launcher would determine what the host screen size is, and rename the appropriate ini so that Rainmeter would display properly. If I had any idea how to do this I absolutely would. Hopefully somebody can take a crack at this as it would be extremely helpful.

I believe that after some prodding a newer version of Rainmeter is being worked on that does relative placement of controls which is a FAR better solution for a portable version of it. Once that's in place, we already have a developer that will be packaging it properly.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
