How do multiple monitors work?

[Caitlynmcc]

say for example, i want to have a second small display in my pc to show the performance, or just to show an image or something, how would i configure that with these dotfiles? or if i just wanted a normal second monitor?

Just follow the regular hyrpland confing for monitors

Here is my setup for your reference:

Hi, do you use the built-in lock feature of the caelestia-shell? My monitor setup looks the same as yours (one horizontal one vertical), and I am wondering how to only display the lock screen only on one monitor instead of on both. I am asking because the lock screen on my vertical monitor (the right-hand side monitor in your case) looks distorted and I haven't found a fix yet :(

Thank you!

@CodeBoyPhilo
I just use it as it is, it does not bother me

/etc/xdg/quickshell/caelestia/modules/lock/LockSurface.qml
find Item{} block, and add this underneath "id: lockContent":
visible: root.screen.name === "DP-5" // in my case
You can determine name of your monitor with "hyprctl monitors".

After you apply the setting, it might mess up you wallpapers for a moment, but it goes away after you restart quickshell.

In my case ' visible: root.screen.name === "DP-3" ' didn't work
I guess it was conflicting with ' visible: Config.lock.enabled '
When I used
visible: Config.lock.enabled && root.screen.name === "DP-3" //instead of root.screen.name
and deleted/commented out
visible: Config.lock.enabled //in same block , few lines lower
it worked ok
