Multi Monitor Support

[HeCodes2Much]

below is the code to make these scripts have multi monitor support then just add monitor = ${env:MONITOR} to the config.ini for the bar

if type "xrandr" > /dev/null; then
    while read F1 F2 _; do
        if [ "$F2" = 'connected' ]; then
            MONITOR=$F1 polybar --reload main -c ~/.config/polybar/config.ini &
        fi
    done <<< $( xrandr )
else
    polybar --reload main -c ~/.config/polybar/config.ini  &
fi

PS: most systems come with xrandr anyways but if not then add that in the list as a depends :)

did you also change the MONITOR= inside the polybar bar too ?

@The-Repo-Club monitor = ${env:MONITOR} what does env means here? shouldn't this be just ${MONITOR}

not all programs can read env values so that is why it's there for polybar
