Question: is it possible to have the exact same topbar on second display? #44

Open saeidscorp opened 7 years ago

saeidscorp commented 7 years ago

I have a couple of extensions modifying the top bar, including Hide top bar, Taskbar and Media player indicator among others. When I use Multi monitors add-on, the top bar displayed on the second display is a vanilla gnome top bar. In the preferences there is an option for adding indicators to it, but for example, auto-hiding feature and all of the customizations are absent.

Is it possible to have all the changes made to the top bar to be intact on the second display?!

I have an open BZ about this issue, more or less, with gnome-shell and Florian thinks they would need to implement a proper top bar in gnome-shell itself to be able to allow extensions in general to be on whichever, or all, screens in a multi monitor setup. More users mentioning they would like this might help, so far it appears I may be the only one that has requested this via BZ in the 6+ years of gnome-shell.

NB: Adding this comment to extension issues where this is applicable.

ChrisCheney, I've added my comments to the BZ you opened. I don't have anything invested in the method for solving the problem so I don't care if it's with and extension or through Gnome Shell actually making the option available. I was hoping that this plugin could handle it as it solves about half the problems with multiple monitors.

Darn. I was about to open an issue requesting this feature, too. Glad to see I'm not the only one wanting it, sad to see it's been two years since it was requested.
