Multi Monitor setup

[Gh0stGames]

I cannot figure out how to make the bar appear on both monitors, any ideas how to do so? I've read through all the documentation and customization options, and haven't had any luck.

[Qelxiros]

Multi-monitor configuration is relatively new, and the documentation needs some work. At the moment, a bar can only exist on one monitor, but you can have multiple bars. You can add monitor = <monitor name> under [bar.name] to specify which monitor the bar should use. If you're using a cargo installation, you might have some issues until the next release. If possible, I'd recommend compiling from source using the latest commit. Let me know if you have any questions, and close the issue once you have it working the way you want.

Okay I uninstalled lazybar and compiled from source, got both bars showing but the right monitor isn't functioning as expected. Windows aren't respecting the margin beneath it.

It's possible it could be a Picom issue as well, so I'll investigate that..

Also getting some warnings:

And this one when I launch the bar, the bar still shows and functions though:

Can you send your lazybar config file? What window manager are you using?

I can't reproduce the bug locally (i3), which means that it's probably related to LeftWM. I found a bug with the way I set _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL (fixed in the latest commit), which LeftWM might honor more than i3 does. I'm not sure what's causing your errors; could you send the output of lazybar -b <whatever> -vvv if they persist in the latest version? Thanks!

[Qelxiros]

A few more thoughts:

• You're specifying position with an array, which only appears to work because top is the default. You should just use a string.
• Make sure to update to commit 1ff9197e, where I improved the error messages from parser, before sending your debug output.

Okay, it seems to be working on the most recent commit! I also made the bar position a string instead of an array which removed some error messages. Thanks for the support!

No problem! Let me know if you run into any other issues, or if you find yourself wishing for functionality that isn't currently present.

One idea would be adding an example on how to configure xworkspaces to the examples/Cargo.toml file. I've got my workspaces setup but struggling a tiny bit to figure out how to put a gray highlight over the non-empty inactive workspaces, so I can tell where I've got windows at. Just been playing around with it for awhile trying every possible config option to get it to work lol
