Opening a window on a specific monitor

[oil653]

I just started a shell in Spell, and I'm already stuck. So I wanted to make a loop that opens multiple windows, one on each monitor, and I just can't figure it out. Figured as much that Slint doesn't support it, because it tries to be generic.
Is there currently any way i could make one instance of a window on every screen? Or it has to be done by the compositor itself?

Sorry if it's a dumb question, and thanks for making this amazing project.

Hey @oil653, spell's performance and versatility on multi-monitor setups is the main focus for a few upcoming releases (mentioned in ROADMAP.md). Short answer is that currently there is no way for you to define the monitor in which to display the widget.
Though a feature to define monitors is trivial, that will end up adding another Option<String> argument to the event loop( i.e. cast_spell) which you would otherwise need to provide None in most cases. To avoid cluttering of interface, I am in progress to build a macro for accommodating every possible option like handling multiple widgets, single widgets ,services, logs, monitors etc everything through a single interface.
Edit: I think you are talking about widgets/desktop components when you said slint windows.

What i was trying to say there was to open a surface with a Slint component that inherits Window on every monitor.

Thanks for the answer, and I will stay tuned for that release then.
