multiple screens Go-For-It Windows branch displays notifications on left most screen only.
Hi! When time is finished, the notification only displays in the top left corner of the left most screen (I only have two screens). Would be nicer to show on both screens, because I easily miss the notification.
Hi @zeblau :smiley: What operating system and desktop environment do you use?
I'm using windows 7 at work, just downloaded the windows build this morning to give it a try, after listening to jupiterbroadcasting podcast :)
I already guessed so :smile:
Currently the Windows version is undergoing a bit of work anyway (expect an update notifier at some point in the future :wink:) but I don't think I will find the time for notifications soon. Would you think that an additional notification sound (see #33) might be a sufficient short-term fix for you? This way you probably wouldn't miss notifications any more.
Looking forward to the update! Adding some bells and whistles would be nice :) Although I really like the notification popup, particularly at work!
@LeRondPoint I just noticed Notify-send has been released under the LGPLv3, so I should be able to bundle something like that to provide the notifications. Can you take a look if that would work with your setup?

Actually the menus also open on the left most screen, not just notifications.
@LeRondPoint That may be caused by the windows build being outdated. (It uses an ancient version of GTK+3.0) The way notifications are displayed is quite inelegant (GTK shouldn't be used for notifications), so I really want to have that part replaced. I'll look if I can get a new build out today,
I'm actually quite busy today and most likely in the upcoming weeks and I have no XP with GTK but I'll see what I can do
Thanks for your work, your tool looks promising. I was looking for a simple list app for when I'm refactoring big chunks of code... like this week where I had to clean up some outsourced code! Looks like I found it!
@LeRondPoint I still have to take care of a few issues and I have to include build instructions, but I ported the current version to Windows. (branch)
notify-send also seems to only show a notification on the primary screen, but at least it looks better as it uses the built in notifications of Windows. With a recent GTK+3.0 version I couldn't reproduce the menus showing on the wrong screen, but it wasn't properly placed either. Menus should be fine now.
I'll get it in distributable form when I have some more time.
I've created an issue to track progress for providing an up to date windows executable: #108
This seems fixed on the latest windows branch. Thanks! Got some new shiny corners and buttons too! Screenshot is on Win10.1
The menu placement should indeed be fully fixed on windows, I don't know an easy fix for the notification, though.
