multi-display bug and feature request #2

Closed grkblood13 closed 4 years ago

grkblood13 commented 5 years ago

If I launch the command from the 2nd of two monitors it'll take the overall width of the combined displays and initiate the HUD on the second monitor. This results in the first monitor not having the HUD and the second one displaying a HUD that appears stretched.

feature request) add the ability to only display HUD on default monitor when multiple are present via a command line flag

bug report) HUD incorrectly estimates size and position when not initialized from the first of a multiple display setup.

I don't have a second monitor for a few more weeks because life :rainbow:, so my ability to help is a little limited.

Either way, these details would help:

Good idea!

bug report) HUD incorrectly estimates size and position when not initialized from the first of a multiple display setup.

This refers to the same problem as the first paragraph, right?

Finally got around to looking at this with my brain turned on.

Excuses excuses: On a previous machine I couldn't repro this at all, and Hudkit would always get its window positioned at absolute 0,0. On my current machine, it would position at the top-left of the window it was started from which is wrong (as you observed). :shrug:

Oh right, there was also a feature request.

add the ability to only display HUD on default monitor when multiple are present via a command line flag

Nah. Too complicated. You can instead hide or show stuff in your web page's context, by reading the Hudkit.monitors variable from JavaScript and positioning your HUDs there, then hiding or showing what's on the appropriate monitors.
