No option to specify workspace to draw nwg-wrapper on

gnull opened this issue 2 years ago · 4 comments

Nwg-wrapper seems to appear on the currently active workspace. How do I draw it on another one? Can I draw it on all workspaces?

It opens on gtk-layer-shell, which means: it ignores workspaces. In the same way as panels/bars do. You can only select an output with the -o | --output argument.

Ah, makes sense. Sorry, I somehow missed the -o in the help text. Would it be a good idea to maybe allow multiple outputs to be specified so we could use the second one if the first one goes offline? (Or is it a job for Kanshi?) I use a docking station with two monitors a lot, so it would be really good if nwg-wrapper could jump between outputs as I dock/undock my laptop. Ivan

Well, I can either specify an output or not. To put the wrapper on two outputs, we'd need two wrapper instances (windows).

No, what I mean is: keep it on output-1, but if it gets disconnected move to output-2. So maybe we cold specify multiple outputs in -o output-1,output-2,output-3?
