Multi-screen support #19

Open dangvd opened 3 months ago

dangvd commented 3 months ago

Multi-screen features (e.g. setting dock on a specific screen) are not yet working. This will be worked on when I have a multi-screen set up.

I am having issues with this, it only lets me set up the panel on one display. Can I send you a screen or something?

Hi,

This issue is open, i.e. not fixed yet. As noted above, I will work on it when I have a multi-monitor setup (that I don't have at the moment).

Do you have any kind of an ETA? Would love to use this, but it's awkward only having it on one monitor.

Hi, The next version (v2.2) will be released this week and focus on 3D style. Then the version after that (v2.3) will focus on this (multi-screen support) and will probably be released in 3 - 4 weeks (so mid - late August).

Hi,

I've had a quick look into this. Unfortunately, on Wayland, I have not found a way to do this.

Specifically, there's no API (Wayland protocol) to set the dock on a specific screen/monitor. Also, on X11, you can simply move the dock to a specific coordinate so that it will be in a specific screen, but on Wayland you can't set the position of the dock (or any window, for that matter) so this does not work either.

Ah I figured it out -- Wayland does support it. Working on it now.

Just a quick note about the timeline: I'm trying to address some critical bugs in v2.3 (in addition to multi-screen support) so it is taking a bit longer than expected -- I'm now aiming for the first half of September for its release.

Sorry about the delay and thanks for your patience.
