[BUG] Scaling Across Monitors with Different Resolutions

[Matt-Schmitz]

I have two monitors and V-Shell seems to assume that the dimensions are the same, because one column of apps and the margin on the right are not visible on the narrower monitor (right side).

Left: 1920 x 1080 Right: 2560 x 1600 with 150% fractional scaling -> 1704 x 1065

Basic debug information

• Did disabling all other extensions help? No
• Did you find conflicting extension? No

Screenshots App grid on wider left monitor displaying properly:

App grid on narrower right monitor with the last column of apps (System Monitor, Software Updater, TeamViewer, and Flameshot) and the margin not visible:

System:

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04
• Version of V-Shell extension: 46.3.1
• Source of installation: extension.gnome.org
• Other installed and enabled extensions: Blur my Shell, Dash to Panel, Notifications Alert, Rounded Window Corners, User Themes

V-Shell reads the monitor resolution from the system and accounts for display scaling. Have you tried disabling all other extensions, restarting the Shell and then reproducing the issue?

Sorry, I had Dash to Panel enabled here because it was the only way I could get the application grid to appear on either monitor. Without Dash to Panel enabled, the app gird seems to only be available on the primary monitor. I don't know how to test the grid on both monitors without any other extensions enabled. Dash to Panel as the only other extension enabled together with V-Shell was enough to cause the issue. I understand that you can't be responsible for how V-Shell works together with all other extensions, so feel free to close the issue.

Thank you for the information. V-Shell always calculates the grid for the primary monitor.
