Getting MMM to open on the second monitor and correctly size
-
I have a second monitor to the right of my default monitor
The idea is to open MMM on that screen and have it scaled correctly which is about 220 x 330 mm, this monitor is mounted vertically.
Your help is appreciated.

@Chrisflex well, to the right is ‘easy’
in config.js u need to tell it where (left/right) to position the monitor in the display space.
add this to config.js
var config = { electronOptions:{x:1920 }, // add this line, where x is the width of your 1st displaynow orientation… you MAY be able to use also width and height… altho it says to fullscreen on that montitor, so it should work
electronOptions:{x:1920, width:xx, height: yy }, -

@Chrisflex i have two monitors and have MM open on the second display
-
I have entered the information as it is below
var config = {electronOptions:{x:1920, width:768, height: 1360 },
It still only opens on the primary screen.
1920, 768, and 1360 are highlighted red
I am not sure what that means.
This is all being done in Windows 10 with Note+ as the editor.

@Chrisflex how wide is the 1st display?
did u try that 1st?
just move to the second display and see what happens?
highlighted in red by what?
-
@Chrisflex on my machine, height and width don’t do anything, as the fullscreen takes over
you might also add fullscreen:false to the options above
that made mine use the sizes specified
I am on linux
if there is an error in the config. it will open on the primary display
look at the output of npm start -

electronOptions:{x:1920 }
I have entered the information like this
this does not work {electronOptions:{fullscreen:false ,x:1920 }, {electronOptions:{x:1920,fullscreen:false }This works
{electronOptions:{fullscreen:false }It brings up a small screen but not sized correctly.
it shows Electron in the top left corner
this screen can be dragged to the second monitor..
here is the start up log
