[SOLVED] BSPWM and DZEN2 On multiple monitors

Dragon707 · 2014-06-30 02:13:46

Hi Guys,

I have a hard time to configure the BSPWM and DZEN2 panel using multiple monitors (in my case, 3 fullhd monitors).

First, i have the following script in my bspwmrc file. The problem is, it works but they are inverted. Like the first 3 desktops are on the right screen, the next 3 on the middle screen and the last 3 on the left screen. So, is there a way to invert this ?

i=1
for monitor in $(bspc query -M); do
bspc monitor $monitor \
        -n "$i" \
        -d $i/{a,b,c}
    let i++
done
NMON=$i
unset i

Second, i try to use the DZEN2 bar on 3 monitors, for each monitor their own virtualdesktops and their bspwm internal states. But i have no idea how i should do this, just one long bar and calculate the distances, or just 3 instances of the DZEN bar?

Answer:

bspc monitor ^1 -s ^3

What's the order of the monitors listed by bspc query -M?

The order of my bspc query -M is:

[kevin@blacklist ~]$ bspc query -M
1
2
3

Provide more details, please.
Is 1 the right monitor, 2 the middle one, and 3 the left one?
Have you tried substituting

for monitor in $(bspc query -M); do

with the desired order, something like

for monitor in $left_monitor $middle_monitor $right_monitor; do

?

3 is the left monitor, 2 the middle and 1 the right monitor (like inverted).

That's it.

Nope, that still doesnt change the order

You could swap the problematic monitors beforehand:

bspc monitor ^1 -s ^3
