electronOptions:{x:1920}<br />
to display beyond the 1st display</p>

<p dir="auto">you can fiddle with the display options</p>
<pre><code>var config = { 
     electronOptions : { ????? },
     modules : []
}
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">x and y describe the top left corner of the display<br />
width and height describe the size and shape of the page</p>
<p dir="auto">kiosk mode  turns on fullscreen, no title bar, and some other things, not resizable I think… really a pain on mac)</p>
<p dir="auto">the defintion of these options are here</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://www.electronjs.org/docs/api/browser-window" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://www.electronjs.org/docs/api/browser-window</a></p>
<p dir="auto">I use the electronOptions to have MM run on the second display on my desktop system</p>
<p dir="auto">electronOptions: { x: 1920 },</p>
<p dir="auto">so I tried</p>
<pre><code> electronOptions: { x: 0, width: 1920, height: 2160, minHeight: 2160, kiosk: false, fullscreen: false,  backgroundColor: "#00000001", autoHideMenuBar :true},
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">and it starts fullscreen on the 1st monitor (had to crop the screen shot to get it under 2 meg)<br />

and</p>
<pre><code>electronOptions: { x: 1920, width: 1920, height: 2160, minHeight: 2160, kiosk: false, fullscreen: false,  backgroundColor: "#00000001", autoHideMenuBar :true}, 
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">and it starts large, on the second monitor, but not quite full screen as the taskbar is not present on monitor 2.<br />
<img src="/assets/uploads/files/1596807487411-screenshot-at-2020-08-07-08-35-02-resized.png" alt="Screenshot at 2020-08-07 08-35-02.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">neither the system , nor MM know about the physical placement of the displays</p>
