      Hi,

      I have MM installed on a Windows 10 laptop to play around with. I have a second monitor that want MM to open on as that’s what I’d be using it for in the long run. That screen is also in Portrait orientation.

      When I run MM now, it opens on the laptop. I can then move it over to the second screen, but then I have to resize it as well. Is there some way to have it automatically open on the second screen and be in the proper resolution for that display?

      Thanks.

        @Kelemvor in the same place in config.js as address:

        add this line

        electronOptions:{ x:nnn, width:mmm},
        

        where nnn is the width of the laptop display in pixels and mmm is the width of the other display

        there are other options too top and left

        the system doesn’t see them as separate displays just all one big space.
