[Solved] tint2 on second screen

I'm using the following setup to run two screens:

xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 3840x0 --rotate normal --output DP-1 --off --output eDP-1 --primary --mode 3840x2160 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output DP-2 --off

On the second screen tint2 is showing up too even though the screen layout of the second screen is right of the primary screen. Any hint on tint2 setup to having it only displaying on the primary screen much appreciated!
EDIT: this occurs on a pretty fresh install running lithium

Edit your tint2 config to match the setup you want:

man tint2

panel_monitor = monitor (all or primary or 1 or 2 or ...) : Which monitor tint2
                draws the panel on
