Multiple Monitors about glava

[jarcode-foss]

@aaahh Do you mean separate X screens? Two monitors that are responsible for displaying the same screen area can certainly both run GLava (simply offset screen coordinates by an entire monitor, depends on X configuration for actual coordinates). You should be able to drag a normal GLava window across monitors, too.

Two separate X screens might run into issues, although not a lot of people tend to run these kinds of setups. "xroot" style transparency also breaks when GLava is not placed completely within the working space of a monitor (hanging off screen), but "native" transparency should be used instead anyway.

Example (GLava window is displayed partially on the bottom and top monitor): https://i.imgur.com/RUbsPjt.png, separate instances on each monitor also work.

For reference, my regular rc.glsl contains the following (note the setgeometry line) to position GLava windows across monitors:

#request mod bars

#request setfloating  false
#request setdecorated false
#request setfocused   false
#request setmaximized false

#request setgeometry 17 1722 1886 380
#request setforcegeometry true

#request setopacity "native"

#request settitle "GLava"

#request setxwintype "desktop"

#request setsource "auto"

#request setswap 1

#request setinterpolate true

#request setframerate 0
#request setprintframes true

#request setsamplesize 1024
#request setbufsize 4096
#request setsamplerate 22050
#request setbufscale 1

#request setversion 3 3
#request setshaderversion 330

Closing, since I'm pretty sure this is a non-issue.

@wacossusca34 I would like to mention that I put glava on the left side on the screen. After I added a 2nd monitor glava now took half the screen for some reason. So I had to do:

#request setgeometry 0 -1080 1920 2160

So it seems that because my resolution doubled from 1080 I had to put there 2160 but had to also move it up for some reason. This happens in plasma even when one of the screens is off so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Not much of a bug just something to mention for people who might face it.

@RaitaroH actual window coordinates will depend on how your X screen is configured with multiple displays. I can probably look at alignment options in the future if this would make things easier (compared to setting window geometry).
