Hi It may not answer all your questions but I wanted to point out that *py3status* [1] provides a *xrandr* *module* to handle your screen layouts easily and automatically if you want (with click event support to switch easily). You can maybe take a look at the source code [2] to get inspiration for your own or use it through py3status and contribute to it if you want ;) DISCLAIMER : I created py3status, so ofc I'm biased but I sincerly think that this module could help you one way or another [1] py3status : https://github.com/ultrabug/py3status [2] xrandr module : https://github.com/ultrabug/py3status/blob/master/py3status/modules/xrandr.py Have a nice day > > Some more questions: > > *) The monitor in the middle is set primary and assigned workspace 2.
