Dual stacked monitor configuration misposition

[Confucij]

I'm using two 1080p monitors placed one over another. And when Guake located on bottom one - which is with a top bar - it's overlapped with a top bar. Details in the attached screenshot.

that will be hard for me to dig it, only have 1 monitor :(

[Confucij]

Maybe you could help and point me to code that responsible for window placement and I will dig it by myself?

[gsemet]

guake_app.py function set_final_window_rect. It needs a complete rewrite, but if you document well your change and why you needed this change, it will help maintaining it

[Confucij]

Thank you. I've managed to hack it for me:

        if window_rect.y != 0:
                window_rect.y = window_rect.y + 25;

I'll try to find a time to work on a solution for this.

[gsemet]

hum, this is a generic enough solution, sadly. Where does these 25 pixels comes from? Title bar?

[Confucij]

Yep, top panel height. I failed to found any other solution quick. Maybe there is some gtk3 function to find usable monitor space and not just its geometry.

On StackOverflow, someone suggests create a window, maximize it on a specified monitor, undecorate it, acquire its dimensions and use them as a usable screen space but this is definitely not a 2-minutes-fix.

I'm working on a displacement setting right now which may fix this issue.

[Confucij]

@aichingm Cool! I'm ready to help testing.

@Confucij you can wait for the PR to be merged (#1167) or try it from my master branch at https://github.com/aichingm/guake

Does #1167 fix an initial problem?

I have a similar problem. This is how it looks for a single display:

This is how it looks for multiple displays:

As you can see in both cases the placement is a little bit invalid. When a single display is used the displacement is calculated correctly (regarding launcher and top panel), maybe there is a way to apply displacement automatically for multiple displays too?

#1167 cannot be used when "Appear on mouse display" is enabled:

It applies displacement for both displays, when displacement is needed only for the right one.

Maybe it makes sense to open this issue back?
