Description

I implemented minimal multi monitor based on the tracking position of the mouse cursor. It doesn't change Ultimate++ overall schemat and works great. Two methods are implemented: "Ctrl::GetDefaultWindowRect()" and "Ctrl::GetPrimaryWorkArea()". Of course some other methods need update as well like "TopWindow::CenterRect(Ctrl *owner)".

P.S.
This update uses Xinerama the X11 extension. If operating system does not recognize this extension Ultimate++ works normally.
Personally, I think that this patch should eliminate most of multi monitors problems on X11.

I think we need to link with Xinerama...

#3 Updated by Zbigniew Rebacz over 10 years ago

Corrigendum: Xinerama is linking by default when GTK is on. When we are using pure X11 we need to link with Xinerama...

Now, serialization supports new multi monitor mode.

Rect limit = GetPrimaryScreenArea();

insted of:

Rect limit = GetWorkArea(); // <- We can not limit to specific work area! (Because, we can have more than one!)

Achieved better performance by using static variables. Small digression: calling "XineramaQueryScreens" over and over again can be painful for real time applications!

BTW, This patch is also compatible with u++ documentation.
