Initial position of application window

[sogaiu]

In my multi-display setup, freja's main window shows up across two displays. I think it is a little awkward.

I wonder if it's practical to get the window to show up on the display that currently has the pointer on it.

I suppose someone might have figured out how to use more than one pointing device but may be that's not worth worrying about at this point :)

Oh, that's interesting. I haven't had that happen to me. What OS and WM are you on?

I plan on making it so that window position and size is stored between sessions, so hopefully that will resolve the issue for you. :)

I noticed it with Manjaro using XFCE. This is with Xorg.

Regarding restoring the window position from a previous time -- that sounds nice. It is possibly a bit tricky when the display situation has changed. For example, suppose you quit when you had two displays but the next time you used freja you only have one...

As a hotfix you can put calls like this into your init.janet :)

(use freja-jaylib)

(def nof (get-monitor-count))
(def preferred-monitor 1)
(set-window-monitor (min nof preferred-monitor))
(set-window-position 0 0)

I tried this, but I get strange behavior:

1. The window doesn't have the typical window manager related stuff (like the title bar).
2. When I focus a different display freja disappears from view and the window under it appears.

To get freja back I "unminimize".

Oh, hmm. I need to try myself with two screens
