Hi Hans-Peter, Thanks for your contribution. I've started integrating bits from it, and I'm trying to think of the best way to get this done cleanly. From the code I have working here, you've modified the multimon detection logic and extended the size option to get a desktop position.
Here's what I'd like to do to: Add an option to list detected screens, and provide a command for passing in an array of displays to use. Let's say we could list the monitors like this (the following config matches my dual full-hd monitor setup) /monitor-list [0] 1920x1080 +0+0 * [1] 1920x1080 +1920+0 We could then specify monitor settings like this: /monitors:0,1 /monitors:1920x1080+0+0,1920x1080+1920+0 /monitors:1 /monitors:1920x1080+1920+0 By default fullscreen shouldn't take all screens like it currently does, it is very annoying. We should enable it with /multimon for true multimon, and also support /span for the span mode. With the following suggestions we'd be able to get complex multi-monitor setups working well. When going fullscreen without /multimon we can simply default to going fullscreen on the current screen, not all of them. What do you think?
