Kneeboard position in NON VR mode with multiple monitor

Open fdallera opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Hi, I have 4 monitors in DCS, monitor 1 2 3 are inline and are the DCS 3D viewport monitor 4 is for the Helios instruments and is under the monitors 2 thats it means that the Screen area for DCS is 5760 x 2160

i would like to have the Kneeboard on the near the left edge of the right monitor (number 2) but there is no way ... if i set "minimum distance from window edge, in pixels" the kneebord is moved diagonally in this way the kneebord disappered on the bottom like in this picture immagine

but i need this:

I'm currently leaning towards keeping the current settings, but adding an optional way to specify the bounding box - for example, if all of your monitors are 1024x768 and you want it on:

  • monitor 3: specify (1024, 0) to (2048, 768)
  • monitor 4: specify (1024, 768) to (2048, 1536)

... with the top left corner (of monitor 2, in your case) being (0, 0)

I have the same issue, recently asked on the discord and was mentioned to change the offset but that it's only a diagonal move is the issue. if we could move X/Y separately we'd have allot more positional control and you won't have to worry about monitors i would think

Indeed, it makes OpenKneebord unusable in the multimonitor setup. +1 to the free X/Y move option
