dash to dock multi monitor #37

Open jaccoh opened 11 years ago

jaccoh commented 11 years ago

Is it possible to make dash on dock appear separately on multiple monitors? So for example, 2 docks, one on each monitor?

franglais125 commented 7 years ago

@collinpeters I removed it since it was merged to master.

To try it:

git clone https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock
cd dash-to-dock
make && make install

I kinda skipped some comments, but I'm wondering if the option of having only the opened apps on a monitor showing in the dock is still being developed?

What i really wanted was having the favorite apps on the main monitor + opened apps on said monitor and having only the opened apps on the second monitor.

franglais125 commented 7 years ago

@RicardoEPRodrigues The monitor-isolation feature is already available in the master branch! All it does is show the running applications for each monitor, but the favorites are shown on all docks.

Unfortunately, we don't have per-dock settings, and it wouldn't be easy to do either...

RicardoEPRodrigues commented 7 years ago

@franglais125 I think it would be easier to make a toggle saying something like Show favorites only on main monitor, since we select which monitor to show the dock that would be the "main" monitor.

franglais125 commented 7 years ago

Sure, that's yet-another-setting, but easy to implement.

There are a number of active PRs, and I already have 2 open. Perhaps you can open another issue (not to spam everyone here!). I don't mind adding this as an option, but I don't want to create new branches just yet. Let's see what @micheleg's feeling is about it first.

@RicardoEPRodrigues Here you go: https://github.com/franglais125/dash-to-dock/tree/favs_on_main

I ended up liking the idea!

RicardoEPRodrigues commented 7 years ago

Exactly what i wanted! Thank you so much! :smile:

RicardoEPRodrigues commented 7 years ago

For those that want to try it out do the following:

git clone https://github.com/franglais125/dash-to-dock.git
cd dash-to-dock
git checkout favs_on_main
make
make install

Now restart GNOME Shell:

Alt+F2 -> r -> Enter

Then enter dash-to-dock settings and activate Launchers > Show only on main monitor.
