** Description changed:
Binary package hint: unity
With multiple monitors, expo/spread mode (Alt-Shift-Up or Win-W)
displays all windows tiles, but only on one (physical) screen, and not
always the same. This is confusing and not very usable. A better
alternative could be to display each window tile on the screen they
belong to.
+
+ The Canonical Design team has released a spec pertaining to implementing such
behavior:
+ from
https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1aHvJ-iIw-59bXTYBmIhQqEx0za2h9jpFE_RhZ2VOvJc/edit?authkey=CJO5wPkH&hl=en_GB
+
+ section 2.9:
+
+ --
+ The Spread is also shown on all displays. Currently, all window previews for
a spread are gathered together and shown on a single display. If there are
application windows on a different display, they are summoned onto the display
with the Launcher, and returned to their original display when clicked.
+
+ As an interim solution for 12.04, and leading into the fully designed
solution, the Spread view on each display will now only show those windows
which belong on that display, across all workspaces, including minimised
windows. A window ‘belongs’ to a display if it is either fully contained
within, or has the majority of it’s area inside, that display.
+ --
+
+ The spec also includes diagrams of how it should be implemented.
** Summary changed:
- In dual-head setup, scale mode is shown only on the last used screen
+ In dual-head setup, scale mode is shown only on the last used screen but
should use both monitors
