If you’re connecting your monitor before starting ZWM and still running into this issue, then it might be a bug or something with xrandr. But, currently, zwm doesn’t pick up on monitors being connected or disconnected while it’s running, it just picks up monitors that were connected before it started (I didn't handle cases where monitors change on the fly). I’ll fix this behavior next week or the week after when I get the time for it.
