tray area stuck on secondary screen

hi,

I have just managed to scale my monitors (following this guide) by applying this code

xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --primary --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1920x0 --rotate normal --output HDMI-1 --off --output HDMI-0 --mode 1360x768 --pos 0x0 --scale-from 1912x1080 --rotate normal

However I have one issue, namely - my tray area is on my secondary screen as opposed to my primary:

Any idea why?

---

I don't have patience or skill to dig deep enough every time system breaks itself or when I break something because of lack of patience and skill.

Re: tray area stuck on secondary screen

I've never had a multi-monitor setup, but two small suggestions:

1) Check out your tint2 config file (menu>Preferences>Tint2>Edit>Running...), in particular the # Panel section:
panel_monitor = all
You might have to change that. (Tint2 is the default BunsenLabs panel.)

2) Tip: Setting up dual monitors

Otherwise, maybe someone else can help?

Re: tray area stuck on secondary screen

it must be a tint2 specific thing.

i recommend going through

man tint2

and test out all options that might pertain to this.

you seem to have tint2 set up to duplicate across screens (two clocks, two sets of launchers etc.). but there can only be one systray.

Re: tray area stuck on secondary screen

Thanks. I was thinking it had to do with tint2 but didn’t have time to test it properly.

Will give it a go and let you know of the outcome.

Re: tray area stuck on secondary screen

panel_monitor = 1
# or 2 or all

If 'all' then you can select additional stuff like on which one systray is, possible more.

grep _monitor tint2rc

panel_monitor = all
primary_monitor_first = 0
taskbar_hide_different_monitor = 0
systray_monitor = 1

^ So in this case tint2 shows on both, systray only on first and each has tasks in each own taskbar, depending on which monitor widows are. (Systray can be only one).
