Put a layer onto multiple monitors #180

Closed DhruvaSambrani closed 4 months ago

gtk_layer_set_monitor allows us to request to change the monitor that the layer is placed onto. Is is possible to place a layer onto multiple monitors?

Not the author of this library, but this shouldn't be possible because the underlying protocol does not allow it either.

DhruvaSambrani commented 5 months ago

I am absolutely new to Wayland dev, so I may be grossly wrong in this.

However, can we add this in the protocol?

Consolatis commented 5 months ago

You can have multiple surfaces, for example one per monitor.

Right. If there is no interest, please feel free to close!
